Summa quits
Submitted by sea-kem on Sat, 2016-08-06 13:59
Well it looks like Summa has jumped ship and can probably see the impending Disasterous few years ahead of the club. Gotta wonder if he got along with the arrogant coach and was frustrated that he probably wasn't listened to. He should have been the forward kicking coach if anything. More heads to roll out the door methinks in yet another rebuild lol.

thank God
Has been totally useless. Has trouble putting 2 words together let alone getting a message across. Overlooked by numerous AFL clubs.

I don't know that he has quit, he was always leaving at years end.

Whisper
Maybe he has heard a whisper of a coach about to be sacked and wants to be available to step right in

Good riddance..the guy was a shit kick for goal in his day and was hand fed by a bunch of top notch on ballers and still battle to get the job done..why would you want your forwards to be like him.

3.4 goals per game and 111
3.4 goals per game and 111 goals in 1991 says you are a pure moron.
If you wanna see shit kicking for goal go have a look at Natalie Fyfe and co in the 2013 Grand Final. Perhaps you can go back through the tapes and checkout all the times the big Pav hit the post or just purely missed when he was required to hit a goal to win the game.

Talking about forwards in grand finals.... how did jack go last year? Did he touch the ball or lay a tackle. Its one thing to have a shot and miss. Its another whole level of uselessness not to actually do anything.

C’mon you blokes don’t you
C’mon you blokes don’t you remember his last few seasons he actually went backwards skill wise , he was a shit kick for goal particularly latter in his career and struggled to even to get a game after 94 . In saying that he was a good leading forward and mark had a few good seasons that was helped by being spoon fed by a fairly elite team back in the day delivering it .

Not unhappy to see him go.
Not unhappy to see him go. If he was a half decent coach he would have got one of the many senior positions he applied for. It was said already by someone else, cant string a sentence together. Probably unhappy that he got demoted to development coach. Was never happy we took him on.

All you've been saying all
All you've been saying all year long is how much the emergence of some of your young players is the only shining light this season then you take a crack at your development coach?

Dockers should be less
Dockers should be less worried about Suma and more worried about where Ro$$ Lyin will move now leaving Freo in a smouldering dung pile like he did the Saints once the window slammed shut. Ro$$ the toss couldn't develop a household budget on an Excel spreadsheet letalone an AFL list

The highly guarded secret of how to make sure a player wins the Coleman Medal by keeping a first year player on him all day. I wonder how much Ro$$ the Toss has on JK for the Coleman with Sportsbet?

They left Collins on him as part of his learning. Same as the week before when a couple of the first year player were given run with roles with the Sydney midfield.

Just strategically holding
Just strategically holding back at the moment Unc , no point just being one those sides that take up space on the ladder such as your mob or the weagles . The era of the docker will bestow the AFL community as from next year . After 20 odd years we’ve become accustomed to wishful thinking
I see Simmo was dodging the bullets about Summo on Channel Weagle news “ we’ll wait until the end of the season “ lol

So what do the Frocker faithful here think of Ross the Toss?
Is he still the man to coach them to a flag, or has your enthusiasm for him fallen away with the team's fading fortunes this year?
He doesn't seem too interested when doing after game interviews, but he has been the losing coach almost every week and feeling a bit jaded I guess.
The hierarchy at Fremantle have high expectations and Loss hasn't delivered like those before him...........

Everyone is so quick to
Everyone is so quick to question the coach. Teams not winning, must be the coach! Lets sack him.
How is the eagles coach travelling? Got his team to a grand final and got absolutely flogged.
How about lets see what his true quality is like? He has taken a sub standard list to a grandfinal where they werent embarrased.
Dont underestimate the retirement of mcpharlin and loss of kirk and lloyd in all this.
Yes i have faith in him. In his ten year history as a senior coach he has missed finals twice. Never won a wooden spoon unlike the great woosha! Never won a premiership either. But i think he is really across the changing game. Now he needs the skilled players to execute it, not (according to you blokes) the bag of spuds he has been coaching for the last 4 or 5 years.

No way, don't sack him. I love seeing Ross front up to interviews after another embarrassing loss, he has the level of cockyness that only a three time premiership losing coach could possess.

woosha played in 3 GF and they won 2 of em , he coached them into 2 GF & won 1 , the second GF game was so tight it could have gone either way on the day
lyon ?? he was injury ridden and has won what ??
wooden spoon is a badge of experience ross might yet get to wear lol

Maybe.
Maybe you should stop trying to swing the focus off the Shockers to the Eagles when things are not looking good Randall.
We all know the Eagles are not the best team at the moment but at least the coach admits when they are not going well.
The comparisons between the two are miles apart when it comes to experience. West Coast have experienced the very ultimate to the absolute pits.
Yes they took a totally inexperienced team to the final & got done, but at least they learned a lesson.
They are back in the field this year, and they are up there with a chance.
I will agree with you, when a team goes from premiership contenders one year, to wooden spoon contenders the next it is not always the coach to blame. The players must carry 75% of it, after all they decide what happens next when they get the ball.....
Cheers & Stay safe

in simple terms
the cupboard is bare and likely to be for quiet some time ,if Ross doesnt inspire next year then may as well stay on and coach the womens team.

Thanks Randall, you answered my question :)
I was genuinely seeking the views of the Dockers faithful here on how they saw the coach's record since he has been at the helm (though as usual threw in a bit of shit stirring as you do with the footy) lol
Good to see you have faith in Ross the Boss!
Jackfrost agrees too I see
Btw, I think you do need to go fishing - you seem a little errr uptight lately lol.

I seem to remember a lot of
I seem to remember a lot of eagles fans questioning simpson game plan in year one, as well as questioning his apparent lack urgency to change things during a game. Then when the eagles starting winning it was "how wonderful he is!". Still hasnt won a grandfinal. Played against a team they had smashed two weeks before. Likewise at the dockers when ross took over. First six months everyone was asking what is this crap? Then they started winning and played finals footy for the next 4 years. The club obviously saw that the old game plan wasnt going to win a flag and tried to change it. To their credit they havent gone back to the old. That would have neen the easiest solution. Everyone at freo are part of the problem and they all have a responsibility to be part of the solution. Coaches players list managers board members. I am definitely not blaming one individual.
