As much as I love Jonesy I would have thought Daisy Peirce would be a great asset in the coaches box.

DAISY replacing Goody??? DONT MIND THIS ONE LITTLE BIT!

It’s Jones and Nathan Bassett.

Confirmed Jones and Bassett have joined the Dees.

Random dude: Ethan?

Ethan Tremblay: Yes?

Random dude: You’ve done it again!

As a player, he could find the pill, a real ball hound, who fought for the hard ball like a dog with a bone.

As a coach, is on the hard side, but apparently his bark is worse than his bite.

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.

I like the alternative pathway into AFL coaching sometimes. There's no hard and fast rule.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
