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

    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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
