So we have a new coach lets hope they give him a few years to get a reasonable team together. No good in getting an ex AFL player if we dont have good players around him. Build the team around youth.

Any chance your Beagle boys can lend us theirs?

 

[WA footy mad]

I've been waiting a long time for Perth to challenge for a premiership, since 1977 in fact. It doesn't appear they will be playing finals again in 2023 & for the foreseeable future. They need to change something, not sure what they can do as they appear to just trundle along & make up the numbers. Maybe stop recruiting players that are past there use by date, Why not start focusing on developing a team for the future that may challenge 3-4 years down the track, Start by promoting youth ahead of seasoned players, let these older players drift off to other teams who maybe challenging for a flag. Please stop recruiting ex AFL players & older players from other clubs it hasn't helped us in the past & more than likely won't help us in the future.

Mundy also signed on in a role with The German. The re-emergence of the Demon is upon us.

 

[Schtinker]

Mundy is one of several former Subiaco players to join German at the Demons, with Allistair Pickett, Brad Smith, Matthew Priddis and Darren Rumble all accepting roles at the Lathlain-based club.

While Mundy doesn’t appear to be set to pull on the boots for Perth.

Mundy has not played at the WAFL level in almost 18 years, last suiting up in round six of 2005 for Subiaco against Claremont in a grand final re-match from the previous season.

 

[Ochre]

Mundy already Perth's best player.

They did challenge in 1978 ....... only to be beaten in the GF by the Mighty Royals!

And I was there for that. The Royals were indeed mighty that day.

Coach Cousins! Eagles great’s next footy move revealed

West Coast great Ben Cousins has taken his most significant step back into the football world since his AFL retirement more than a decade ago.

West Coast great Ben Cousins has taken his most significant step back into the football world since his AFL retirement more than a decade ago, joining WAFL club Perth in a part-time coaching role. The West Australian understands the Brownlow medallist and Eagles premiership hero has been helping out at the Demons during pre-season training once a week and plans to continue on in the New Year.

It marks another massive off-field coup for the Lathlain-based club this summer as they plot a rise up the WAFL ladder after a disappointing three-win season. Experienced mastermind Peter German, a two-time premiership coach at Subiaco, signed a three-year coaching deal at Perth in September, replacing Garry Moss who parted ways with the club late last season.

Four of German’s former premiership stars at the Lions - Brownlow medallist Matt Priddis, legendary defender Darren Rumble, four-time Bernie Naylor Medal-winner Brad Smith and dual Sandover medallist Allistair Pickett - have joined his coaching staff for 2023. Priddis will be the stoppages coach, Rumble will take charge of the defence, Smith the forwards and Pickett the small forwards.

The club is also in discussions with Fremantle games-record holder David Mundy, who played in a premiership at Subiaco under German in 2004, for an off-field role.

Among the confirmed signings for Perth are former Peel Thunder defender James Ewing, ex-East Fremantle forward Zach Jackson, West Perth pair Trent Manzone and Lochie Paton, East Perth twins Cooper and Harley Sparks and prolific Victorian midfielder Charlie Thompson who was coached by German at Coburg in the VFL.

Young ruck eyes WAFL switch after draft disappointment

Exciting young ruckman Jackson Broadbent is eyeing a WAFL club switch after being overlooked in this year’s AFL draft.

Exciting young ruckman Jackson Broadbent is eyeing a move to Perth after being overlooked in this year’s AFL draft. The Demons are also sweating on the futures of Quinton Narkle and Sydney Stack, who are likely to play for the Lathlain-based side if they do not get an AFL lifeline after being delisted by Geelong and Richmond respectively.

REVEALED: Ex-Eagle Cousins’ Perth coaching role

AFL great Ben Cousins will be among several former West Coast players helping out Perth’s WAFL colts this year after joining in a part-time coaching role in a massive boost to the club’s young talent.

thewest.com.au

The West can now reveal Cousins will help out with the Perth Demons’ WAFL colts in 2023, working under new coach Scott Moore, who has joined the side from Public Schools Association outfit Trinity College after previously being the club’s Futures coach. Fellow ex-Eagle and Collingwood winger Josh Smith will be the team’s midfield coach after retiring from the WAFL because of a frustrating run of injuries, while former West Coast Category-B rookie Brodie Riach is in his second season as talent manager. Moore, a former Perth player, replaces Michael Pratt who has since signed on as East Perth’s colts coach.

Perth have a trio of the State’s most exciting draft prospects at their disposal including ruck Coen Livingstone, a West Coast Next Generation Academy talent who’s the nephew of Hawthorn champion Chance Bateman.

Narkle and Stack showing up on the club website under senior players, so I'm assuming they're confirmed.

Or Perth just getting ahead of themselves…….

Is it legal for a Narkle to be a Demon!

1978 was all about the weather when we kicked with the breeze it poured. Both quarters East Perth kicked with the breeze it was so much better. The gods were against us that day,.

4 points the difference at 3/4 time in the Mighty Royals favour with Perth kicking to the city end with a strong breeze. Rain came but EP kicked 2.6 to Perth's 3.2. That's 3 more scoring shots against the breeze ..... also in the rain. EP held on to win by 2 points and had 7 more scoring shots on the day. Perth basically kept in the game by Bosustow who kicked 7 of their 12 goals. Probably the only Perth player who won his position on the day. Suck it!!

Weather s**t throughout take BUZZ 7.0 (unbelievable in the circumstances) out of it and we win easy.
