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

    Wow, would be surprised if true. That would upset the Perth applecart.

    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).

    He's gone to work with Ross 'screw loyalty' Lyon. No surprise here!

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
