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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
