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

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.
