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.

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

    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.

    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. ❤️💙

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

    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. 😁

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
