“We are delighted to welcome ‘Muddy’ to the Sport FM team for 2025,” SportFM Chairman Jack Crawshaw said.
“His extensive experience in the game and strong opinions will complement the hard hitting news stories of John Townsend, still a renowned news breaker.”
In an added bonus to WAFL fans, the acclaimed ‘WAFL World’ program will now be broadcast two nights a week, Monday and Wednesday at 5PM.
Matt Grubelich will host the Monday program alongside John Townsend and former West Perth President Brett Raponi, reviewing the weekend’s action along with special guests from WAFL clubs.
Lead 91.3 Sport FM WAFL broadcaster Jacob Landsmeer remains in the chair on Wednesdays, joined by dual Perth premiership player Chris Mitsopolous and new recruit to the show East Perth key defender Corey Watts, the Wednesday edition offering opinions from both current and former players in the game.
“It’s a great thrill to extend WAFL World to two nights a week,” Landsmeer said.
“The popularity of the show has grown over many years, and to have a Monday weekend review show followed by a news/preview show on a Wednesday is a wonderful way to give WAFL fans the best of both worlds.”
“To add both John (Townsend) and Corey Watts only strengthens an already great show, I’m looking forward to both of their insights.”
