What? Haddrill was quality. Another destroyed by injuries but in the 2 full seasons he got to play he came 4th in the doig the first year we made finals, then came 7th in the doig the next year and was selected in the international team to play Ireland. Then in typical Freo fashion injuries reduced him to 3 games in 2005, 1 game in 2006, and 1 game in 2007.

Yeah the driller was good ,just put him in the “what could’ve been basket” at freo with longmuir , morabito , clem micheal , Bennell etc

What the hell is that dopey idiot even on about?
Which kids Peter?

Western - clearly being groomed for a debut. Was emergency last week and held back from Peel

Valente - Clearly not AFL match fit but building

Giro - C grade ceiling at best

Thomas - Literally the last defender on our list

Walker - Not ready

O’Driscoll - Not even close

Treacy - Looks stuck a level above for WAFL and a level below AFL. He will be a regular Freo B22 by the mid season bye but fair enough you could make a case that he should be in now.

Yeah I’d love to see the text for this.

How it started:


"You’re throwing the kid to the wolves".
Peter Sumich does NOT want the Dockers to blood Josh Treacy in next week's opener despite their depleted forward stocks...

How it’s going:

Sumich: Worrying performance means time to blood kids

Former Fremantle assistant coach Peter Sumich has pleaded with the Dockers to blood their next wave of talent, declaring their 24-point loss to Brisbane ‘ordinary’ and ‘worrying’.

thewest.com.au

“They’re relying on Fyfe and Mundy who are carrying that side to the hill. And Taberner, you probably throw Taberner in there. If it wasn’t for those three, Fremantle probably wouldn’t have won a game.

“What if Mundy breaks down and you’ve got to throw some of these younger kids to the wolves?

“I’d be doing it right now because I don’t think they’re going to win the premiership this year. We have to be realistic spectators.
“You have to keep blooding kids like (Josh) Treacy. I was disappointed again in (Rory) Lobb’s game. He needs it on his terms which is sad because the way he is built, he should be taking contested marks and getting angry.

 

[fnerd]

Hahahaha, talk about bitter

 

[Big Animal]

I am constantly surprised at why no club he has interviewed for has given Sumich a job as a senior AFL coach

 

[BettercallSaul]

No way.

Cornes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Suma.

At least Cornes outlandish claims are occasionally correct. Suma sounds like a rambling madman with an axe to grind.

Perhaps we should coin the phrase a “Suma” when someone makes a ridiculous claim. For example “ Supermodels wouldn’t go out with me because I’m just too good looking.” I’m sad to say a blatant “Suma”.

 

[nurries]

Mods can you change "Dickhead" to Suma in predictive text on here?

I am somewhat alarmed he was kept on our payroll so long. There must be a rational explanation involving some kind of quid pro quo between rival board factions as to why he was retained all those years. I mean he's not playing bitter 4d chess. The bitterness is real, but so are the objectively idiotic opinions. I.E. he is as dumb as he appears.

Can this be pinned somewhere?

Unfortunately nepotism is rife in the AFL

He was probably not bad as far as assistant coaches go. Saying dumb shit in the media is just the easiest way to raise your profile if you are trying to get traction as a footy talking head. He's probably aware what he is saying doesn't make much sense. But it gets clicks so that's all that matters.

Giving him more of a crack in the midfield/on a wing would make more sense than half back imo

For the sake of my remote, TV and family (neighbours too sometimes) please don't play him in defence JLo! I can just imagine him on the last line of defence trying to save a goal and get a little knock and go down like he's been shot trying to get a free but leaving his man to waltz into the open goal as the umpy signals "all clear".

What games has he been watching ffs? Later in the second half last match is literally the first time all season he hasn't played deep forward exclusively.

 

[mattis117]

He Potted Lobb, so i'm in agreeance with him.
We are fast becoming as irrelevant as Norf, and Longmuir is part of that.
He doesn't command attention, he looks like a rookie, and is a rookie.
Sumich is saying play the kids, and that's what Essendon are doing.
Ours probably aren't as good though.
We'll see this weekend what that means, as the Dons will give us a good touch up.

Worst post I've read in a while

Duff has already started trying to make sure he doesn't get sacked.

Pin it with the “Freo could have had Matthew Lloyd”, articles.

I think Western and Treacy are viable options (along with Meek), but I suspect playing the kids is part of our problem. In an ideal world they get some decent development time in the wafl. Playing underdeveloped kids at the top level looks like an invitation for injuries waiting to happen.

 

[Madas]

Let's pick up Willie when he gets axed from WC
Good PR giving him a second chance and he can fix some of our forward line issues .

Would be worth it to see all the Perth media having to switch horses & start the character assassination articles.

At least I don't have to use the dictionary to look up the origin of 'Idiot'
