Landing the gig as coach of West Adelaide is a family reason?

    Gotta wonder why the AFL/MFC would choose to spin it like this.

    I spoke with Nathan Bassett himself. He was contracted with the Melbourne Football Club for another 2 years. His wife and family stayed in Adelaide because his daughter was doing her year 12 this year. Nathan learnt so much in his time with Melbourne this year which will prepare him well for West Adelaide.

    Confirmed that Chaplin has turned down Collingwood to remain at the club.

    Very disrespectful of Coll to go public with an offer before getting mfc's ok.

    Probably a tactic to pressure mfc into agreeing. Their sense of entitlement knows no bounds!

    Delighted we are standing firm and knocked the idea back immediately.

    I just hope they have some one to take choco's spot. Senior to high level coach involved in premierships to add experience and support in specialised areas, rather than a line coach. Hammil doesn't fit that.

    Goal kicking and general kicking???

    Was it the Club or Troy that knocked it back? I get the impression it was Troy who wanted to stay, not the Club exercising his 2026 contract.

    Mutually agreed perhaps.

    Apparently we have reached out to Tom Hawkins as a part time forwards coach.

    Nothing official yet but Cal Twomey announced it just then.

    I wonder what sort of part time we are talking about here

    Will he do matchday or just help out during main training days?

    Would be a massive get for us. Been hoping we bring in a former quality key forward to mentor and coach our emerging key forwards. Fingers crossed.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
