Nathan Basset.

It's not often spoken of but Port have had the least scoring against for two years running.

All Australian defender (alongside Goodwin) and multiple premiership coach with Norwood.

Hard nosed, a strong communicator and development coach with an aggressive defensive outlook.

Previously followed Goodwin to Essendon.

Former Demon :)

The missing piece of the puzzle.

*not merely as sexy as who we should target player wise.

It's easy to draw inferences on players skills sets, acumen and talent - harder to draw a line on coaches, particularly all the assistant ones from afar.

I stumbled across Brett Ratten leaving Hawthorn a few minutes ago - and thought to myself - that I've always rated him, as a person and as a coach, can't tell you why, just a sense... wouldn't mind getting him on board again at the Dee's.

But, in one - out another - and without character assassinating people/coaches I've never met - has anyone got a version of a champion data write up for our assistant coaches ;) - I hear from some Demonlanders that Troy Chaplin, shouldn't be retained etc etc...

Cartoon were stuffing things up, the same time as we were.

I like Ratten as well...  But lets NOT upset the apple cart; for wish this, or wish that.

 

Inner harmony is crucial to us.

Ratten has already done time with the Demons. He was their mid field coach after he retired and he was bloody good...

Yep, I recall.

I was disappointed when he left us. but we were a mess waiting to implode. lucky he did go at that time.

Now is a much better time for incumbents.

It’s being reported here that West Coast will allow Mitchell to move to Melbourne however he’ll be working for them from there for the next two years.

Mitchell still has two years left on his contract with West Coast. West Coast are going to let him move back to Melbourne but he’ll be working for them from there.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
