Not only to re-unite with Goody, but back to where it all began 🙂

 

His career was stillborn when first recruited by us due to bad luck and injury. Turned out to be a great defender for the crows.

so i wonder where he will fit?  Mid to replace McQualter, fwd, or def and move chaplin?

 


After being highly regarded a decade or so ago, he was axed by Port Adelaide at the end of 2023 and spent 2024 out of the AFL system.

He might be fantastic but it wouldn’t be an overly inspiring appointment on face value.

Don’t get too excited. I believe he has been regarded as a very good defensive coach. 

 

Would prefer a forward coach that actually plied their trade as a specialist forward. Aces in their places. Same goes for players we need to stop converting defenders into forwards. Our forward line is dis functional and has been for way too long. There is no system.

Has been a head of coaching development at Norwood for the year.

Was an excellent cricketer in his day also, just happened to belt him for the hugest 6 over mid on during our cricketing days. 😂

Thought I'd massage that into this convo.😂

Won a 3-peat with Norwood from 2012-14 expected him to go for a job in his own right in the AFL.

Under utilized big time at Port, stepped aside for the greater good.

A hard working fella who will with fresh eyes and perspective do good things with our forward line.

At least we have been proactive this off season.

Hopefully Mcqualter gets the gig at Wet Coke, never liked him as our mids coach.

PORT ADELAIDE assistant coach Nathan Bassett will depart the club after being advised his contract will not be renewed for 2024.
Bassett has spent eight seasons at Alberton, initially as defence coach before taking on the forward line in 2019.

This season he returned to the backline, where he made his name during a 210-game AFL playing career.

Port Adelaide General Manager – Football, Chris Davies thanked Bassett for his dedication to the club since 2015.

“Nathan has worked tirelessly for our club in an extremely demanding role,” Davies said.

“He has offered a unique perspective across his time with us and always operated with the utmost professionalism and diligence.

“We wish Nathan and his family well with his next career move.”
 

He cleared off once before, no thanks.

Nathan Bassett has had a long and varied career in SNAFL and AFL, 210 games with Crows, Coached Redlegs to three consecutive Grand finals winning two, 2 years with bummers then 8 years with Port as fwd and backline coach finishing up at the end of 2023. Spent 2024 back at Redlegs in a FD management role and has a lot of experience with player development as well. We traded the boy back home due to serious injury, I am interested in seeing what the man can bring back to the Dees.

That info says he hardly cleared off from Port. They called time on him it seems. 
And it was after 8 years as well.
That’s hardly leaving a by Club in the church. 

Wouldn’t  want to be employed by you Bluey all you have done is blemish Nathan for long service and loyalty. 

I would think Goody  would be all over SA assistants and be very aware of their credentials. 

Thank goodness.

I also know what you are referring to but it’s a decade ago. Give it a go move on. 
Houston changed his mind  and Bassett did also. 

Actually so did one of the Jarmans !! Was 25/30 years ago. Have you forgiven him ?

No

Why do we get a backman as a forward coach, a ruck as a fwd coach or. defender as midfield coach?

Why can't we get Stevie J as a fwd coach?

Why not Peter Sumich?

 

He cant be the forward line coach he played as a backman. Just like a ruckman couldn't be our forward line coach.

Have I got it right????

Went for a cheaper assistant in Tyson Goldsack, that's why he wasn't renewed.

Very well worded statement to save the club face.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
