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

Very well worded statement to save the club face.

and also that josh carr had basically been anointed as hinkley's future successor 

i'd love to bring rawlings back from the legs too

he and ayres are two of the best and most successful 'lower level' coaches over the last 30 years

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?

By the same logic, does this mean head coaches can only be sourced from former players who played forward, back and midfield? Seems like it would be a very limited pool of applicants…

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

Why can't he be a forward coach?

I would have thought being a class deefender would give valuable insights into forward craft and how best to beat a defence.

I like the idea.

Chaplin needs to stay where he is, if he wants to that is.

 

I really rate Basset and would be thrilled if we added him to our coaching panel.

The kind of calibre of assistant coach with the credentials to have been pursued by the Eagles and the wisdom to turn them down 🤣

Yeah I guess you guys are right. Our fwd line is a towering strength of ours. We must be doing something right

Jnrmac to be fair he did coach the Power fwd line during his 8 year stint there and who knows who else is available, I’m sure the coaching brethren would be across who and what is available.

He will probs be our next ruck coach!

I'm hearing that Caleb Daniel is about to announce his retirement, and will take on the job.

Exactly - it is nonsense to think coaches have to have played a position to be able to coach it.
Fagan never even played AFL and he does alright!

Not sure I want him back at our club.

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.

Forwards/backs coaching can be interchangeable as you have played against the other.
Rucks usually coach Mids and rucks, so they’re on the same page.
Mids think they can coach anywhere, but usually can't. 

For those that don't know much about Bassett before he started coaching at AFL level.

After a very solid AFL career as a full back/Back Pocket he took over the head coaching position at Norwood in the SANFL.

Norwood had been on the bottom of the ladder for the previous 5-6 years and he took them to a threepeat, not to mention after each year he lost min 4 of his best players to the AFL.  (Imagine losing Viney, Langdon, Kossie and Jackson after 2021)

Not only did he turn the Norwood football club around, he turned a bunch of guys into AFL standard footballers.  A lot of them were mature ago too not just kids with talent.

Thank you 

Yeah, I'm excited by this prospect.

Some of the great coaches were back pocket players who the theory goes can see the whole field. Hence their coaching insights across the ground. 

Speedy  jeans. Parkin. Hafey.

Assets record at Norwood is second to none.

You can say the name. It brings back shudders of the Neeld era but we can work through it.

Dean Terlich 


Suffered a terrible chest injury at the Demons very early in his career, and diagnosed with T1 diabetes at a similar time.  Headed back to SA for very good reasons.  Was an absolute stalwart for the Crows, runner up B&F in 2005 and an All Australian in 2006. Both seasons Adelaide were losing prelim finalists.  His coaching record has been previously mentioned, needless to say it was highly successful.  He'd be a great addition.

Would be pretty funny watching him bring the stool out on the ground at 1/4 and 3/4 time to give the players a Rev up...won't be long before he would be knicknamed after one of the seven dwarfs, Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, or Dopey

I've been pushing this case for many years, but now that it might seemingly be about to happen I've lost the energy to care. Three years too late, but maybe he can bring Boyd with him and more importantly Burgess. Also, whoever the massive Liam McBean fan was on here can get in the bin along with the rest of the last twelve months of football. 

I'm not going to run the numbers again, but somewhere in my posting history is a breakdown of what Port achieved both offensively and defensively in the years following Bassett's move to both ends, I think indicating that he is a very shrewd tactical operator in getting things up and running but maybe not maintaining the momentum. ?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
