Demonlanders, my old man has (had) a demon gnome that he puts out the front of his apartment on Powlett St a few hundred metres from the G.

When we lose it faces the naughty corner when we win its on proud display. When Maxy kicked the goal after the siren in 2021 to win the minor premiership it was purched on top of a ladder.

It has been stolen twice in 5 years both Collingwood games. Last night one of those people in black and white jail uniforms jumped his fence and stole it.

The old man wants a new gnome before Anzac Eve. Any ideas how to fast track one? It needs to be 30+cm and not one of those plastic ones.

The new gnome will be wearing a Brayshaw style helmet the week we play Collingwood we might need security.

Charlie Spargo isn't busy for the next few weeks, he already has the uniform as well.

I have one of these guarding my Thai Basil plants 😊

 

Also, surely there must be a warehouse of unsold Demon Gnomes out there somewhere which can be bought as a job lot and place in every window and balcony in the area. Total Gnome dominance.

I think the AFL shop sells them , and I bought one about 5 years ago from a privately owned sports memorabilia store in a shop on Victoria street adjacent to the Vic market. This store will be open on Tuesday

I saw this one at Coles Yarraville on clearance for $8.50 yesterday. It isn’t plastic but not sure if it is as big as 30cm

https://www.aflfootyshop.com.au/melbourne-demons-mini-garden-gnome?gad_source=4&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8pKxBhD_ARIsAPrG45loIC44NPd6Hz3zvH7Of5f-Or1qy_BQJKmB27O_NfmgZVItSMNdsBgaAkSmEALw_wcB

They also offered a $10 discount, voucher came up as a pop up.

$15 for next day delivery. Only 18 cm big.

Saw they were sold out of the 30 cms ones.

Get a garden gnome, and paint it up.

I've seen them at Poyntons Nersery

But that business is owned by James Hird's missus' family

So, nah

I’d stuff the next gnome with some explosives and a movement/time delay trigger -10 mins from Powlett St should get them back to their Collingwood hovel.

Gnomeland security….

Not going to ask where obviously but could we get which side of the street it's on when facing the G? 

Would be good to keep a lookout when the new one is installed 😀

Makes shopping time consuming and confusing when they are so unclear.

Sometimes attention is more important @daisycutter

Oh no! i work in east Melbourne and pass this gnome daily and smile. I hope you find a replacement soon.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
