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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
