The 'mistake' the Eagles made in 1991

The surprising number of free kicks that day

Sumich on calls for Adam Simpson to move on

West Coast was out to make amends after suffering grand final heartbreak in 1991.

And make amends they certainly did.

The Eagles lifted their first premiership cup in 1992, defeating a Geelong side full of stars.

Thirty years on from that triumph, gun forward Peter Sumich tells of the Eagles’ ambition to go to Victoria and "steal" their cup, his contrast of having the yips early in the game to the elation he has never felt since after kicking his sixth goal.

He opens up about the "embarrassing" Eagles of 2022 and the changes he would like to see in the relationship between players and umpires.

Join the two-time premiership Eagle and host Shane McInnes as they unpack the first ever non-Victorian AFL premiership.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Wednesday, Shane McInnes is joined by champions of the game to step down memory lane and discuss a momentous edition of a corresponding match of that round.

Never-before-heard stories about iconic footy moments, life after footy, and plenty of banter and insight to get you hyped for the round ahead!
