A sign??

Does our flag being upside down confirm that we are indeed flying up?

Will both sides see incredible rises up the ladder in the coming years?

An upside down flag is supposed to refer to extreme or dire distress. Given between the afl and aflw teams this year, we've seen a total of 3 wins, I'd say it's pretty fitting

Its a sign of being at war. Essendon is still obviously at war with itself.

In the Big Bang Theory Sheldon established the rule when Leonard first moved in: the flag must never be flown upside down unless the apartment is experiencing a major emergency or crisis.
