Just had a call from the West to tell me he has left to join Freo as Forward coach.. Very surprising indeed.

    Why is it big news?

    Peter Sumich is going from one supporting role to another.....what are the ramifications?

    In a state of 2 teams, when a club legend moves from one to the other it will casue a mini medai fenzy. Summa going to freo will turn heads in WA

    Glenn Jackovich recently raised money just by putting on a dockers gurnsey for a fun run (the docekrs fans thought the pain Jacko would go through by donning the purple would be worth paying for).

    Sumich has always been a Freo lad and stated on local television tonight that he'd always had ambitions of returning.

    He has huge family over here in fruit n veg caper. Wouldn't be surprised if that's the primary reason he goes in half hearted or not at all for senior gigs outside of WA.

    Destined to be a career assistant.

    This seems the year for changing coaches- Sumich seems a very good fit at Freo.

    you make it seem like fremantle and subiaco are large distances apart; they are 20 minutes away from each other.

    I dont buy in to him being a Freo person. He might have cut his teeth at South Freo in the WAFL, but he is the Eagles all time leading goal scorer - he's no working for the enemy!

    I didn't mean geographically.

    Doh!

    I don't buy into it either DWA. From all reports it sounds like Lyon pumped his tyres up pretty tight over a chat and the rest is history.

    Whether he can add value to the Dockers remains to be seen.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
