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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
