West Coast Eagles great Ben Cousins lands WAFL coaching role at Perth Demons

Can't see past the pay wall.

...sorry couldn't help myself.

All the best to Ben and really do hope he's turned the corner.  Drug addiction is a [censored] of a thing.

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

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.

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. 😁

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
