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

Yep his family wanted him to coach West Adelaide. There you go.

    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.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
