The Peter Summers Phonecall to SEN -- Hoax


Guest Luke O'Brien

Hi all,

With absolute no disrespect to the Melbourne Football Club and anyone who reads Demonland, but I can 100% confirm that Pete Summers did not ring SEN and he would never say that Melbourne FC players are "pricks and wankers".

I am not getting on my high horse and trying to defend one of our players but Pete Summers is one of the nicest and most respectable people I have ever met in football and he said 'at no stage would he ever contemplate ringing SEN or criticising the Melbourne Football Club'.

Pete has the utmost respect for the Melbourne Football Club and the players who contributed to our success and he is still very close friends with a number of the players and would not criticise them under any circumstances.

I understand that people do ring in to radio stations as pranks and I do think that this was a prank that has now gone too far and we at the Sandringham Football Club would like to put this unfortunate issue to bed once and for all.

On behalf of the Sandringham Football Club I would like to wish the players and the Melbourne Football Club all the best for 2009 and beyond, I hope that their alignment with Casey is as successful as the alignment was with Sandringham and I hope that as Melbourne supporters you can still all keep a close eye on the Zebras and follow us whenever you can.

Thank you and Kind Regards

Thanks Luke.

Some here might like the opportunity to offer an apology of their own, though most seemed to agree that it was a hoax anyway.

I've split your post off in to a topic of its own, and deleted the original thread. No need to keep it now given it was based some tool having a lend.

Thanks Luke ... the clarification is appreciated. It's a great pity that a small minority out here have nothing better to do with their time than to make a nuisance of themselves ...... and their form is 10 times as poor when they tarnish the good names of others along the way! The recent change in the MFC / VFL affiliation, dictates that I will have to change my VFL allegiance to the Scorpions, but as an old Sandy boy now living in Canberra, the Zebras will always hold an important place in my heart.

Glad to hear it, i'm a local to Bayside and have absolutely loved being able to support both the MFC and Sandy. I too wish you all the best with your new arrangement with the Saints and i certainly will keep a close watch on the Zebras, i may even continue supporting them i the future.

Thanks for coming on here Luke.

I didn't hear the interview, but for those who did how certain were the presenters that they had Peter Summers on the line? Luke, you and your football club should follow this up with SEN, as it's pretty poor form from SEN letting a caller impersonate a VFL footballer and cause problems like this.

I started the thread originally as I was the one who originally heard the conversation , and whilst I believe there was nothing in the discussion to suggest that it was a hoax , I am prepared to accept the wishes of the Sandringham Football Club representative as sincere .

I know this is was a month ago but I just wanted to say that I'm with Luke.

I met Peter a few times at Sandy games and he is a great bloke. Always spoke highly of the Melbourne players that were in the side so I got no issues with this. Good to hear its over

That sort of call just had to be a hoax. People like Peter in positions they hold are not that stupid.

I also wish Sandy all the best and as a fairly regular spectator over the years of our alignment I will find it pretty difficult to barrack against them, but I will when they play Casey. On other occasions I wish them success.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
