The Perth Demons story is very similar to the Melbourne Demons.  A once powerful club, that completely lost its way and has continue to do so since the mid 70s.

This is either going to go completely pear shaped or make the club half relevant again.

The club has always found a way to lose its way.  There board looks to be very strong now, a few ex players, would be worried about CEO though

Best of luck to Ben and the demons. Addiction is a horrible thing and it would be great if he bounces back and helps the club become successful.

I saw.
I clicked.
I realised I'd been had.
I'm happy about that.

Good luck to him in his rehabilitation but those Perth Demons are something else. Their colours are red and black, not red and blue.

Having gone out with an addict 20+ years ago (and being unaware of it for the first few months) i will watch this one closely. 
one doesn’t stop being an addict, the situation is managed

Yep .... I'd wouldn't want him hangin' with the players after hrs.

Yes he is going to have to be very disciplined, and stay that way, if he is going to have a long career.

Perth was a powerhouse in the 70s, but since they lost the potential-three-peat 1978 grand final in a major upset (in pouring rain, despite Bosustow starring for the Demons, and with Perth favourite son Barry Cable captain-coaching East Perth) they have been the league's underachiever.

trolling at its best 👍

What can I say - Demonland is prety predictable and easy to troll, but it's still good fun and I couldn't resist.

Merry Christmas all 😊.

Westside is Bestside, or so says the graffiti on the wall of a tunnel near mine. Clearly graffitied by an Eastern suburbs graffitist. 

I’m ok, Tim. (Thank you for asking 💕) Three weeks ago a fox got into my backyard and killed our beloved chooks. Every one of them, gone.

They say time heals all wounds, and who am I to argue? Only it seems time is taking the long way around, sometimes even standing still, or so it seems.

Thank you, Daisy. Absolutely heartbroken and still grieving. But I’ll bounce back. I always do. The whole healing thing is just taking its sweet time, is all.

I did wonder...

Maybe a new brood, in due course, will help the healing gently along?

'Landers all, I'm struck by the personal stories that surface here and, most particularly, by the preparedness of the storytellers to be vulnerable to strangers (though maybe we're not strangers here, so much?) Though one story might seem less, or more, momentous than another to we readers, we respect (I hope) that it is the teller's experience that sets the moment.

Defs not strangers. Demonland is like family to me. Dysfunctional, contradictory, nit-picky, loud and annoying. You know, just like any other family. 🙃

And yes, Tim. Planning on getting a new clutch of baby girls sooner rather than later. Just gotta implement fox-proof measures. I thought having them sleep in the house every night was enough but sadly someone forgot to tell this particular fox he’s nocturnal. I’m thinking with the next hatchlings I may have to keep them in the house 24/7. Then I really will be crazy chook lady. 😁 JK I’d let them out daily for 30 minutes under strict supervision, and in bespoke little suits of armour (stop laughing!).

Just so as not to stray too far from the subject at the heart of this site, that being the mighty Dees, three of my chooks were aptly named:  Febes 1, Febes 2 and JH (Hunty up until he left, then Harmesy 😊). With the next lot my son has gifted me naming rights for all. Watch this space. ❤️💙

Lots to love there 😊

Now cue divergence of thread to clever Dees names for chookies...😉

So very sorry to read about your beloved chooks WCW. Can’t wait to hear the names of the new girls 🥰

Thank you so much, Jules. 💕 

Re names, my non-footy-loving son said how about NOT ALL Demons-related names? How about at least one non-Demons name? I said sure, I actually have one in mind. I told him the name. He said “Maisie, yeah I like that name!”
I’ll let him believe it’s Maisie until he ever sees it written and discovers it’s Maysie. 😁

  • 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.

    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?

    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?
