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.
