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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
