1988, May, West Australian, story and photo headlined ” Neesham’s ring-in calls the tune”.  Photos of Brian Sutherland and Peter Melesso with a victory and their own performances against East Fremantle.  Also David O’Connell and the Sharks Stephen Edgar eyeing off the ball.  A timely phone call by coach Gerard Neesham, early last year produced yesterday’s match winner for the Tigers in yesterday’s game.  Bulky full forward Peter Melesso had quit VFL football and was about to begin a career in the less demanding VFA when he received the call from Neesham.
