Just logged in to say i'm still waiting for the Bass announcement..... anyone....

Just for you, here's a bass announcement.

 

[Chrizzt]

Yeah but on the flip you can't persist forever under the guise of "she'll be right he'll come good"

Yep Jonas was great in the final four games it was the previous ten that were the problem, some suggest his SNAFLE form was average so what did t achieve but the fact he was dropped should've been the wake up call he needed.

Being told if you don't improve you're dropped and being dropped sound like similar things but they're aren't especially if your feeling comfy about your role in the team, anybody whose played sport they've cared about and had this happen to them would know this

Blind faith in players cos they're x games played and y in the BnF is what we all complained about with Choco suddenly that sort of loyalty is what we need?

What happened with Choco was a completely different kettle of fish. He was continually selecting sub-par players, who wre underperforming over a long period of time, in a team that was incredibly mediocre over a number of years.

Jonas' form this year was patchy. There was still a few good games thrown even in the first part of the year. That is when persisting with a player at AFL level is fine. He would have gained zero confidence from being dropped to the SANFL. Jonas would absolutely have been told he needed to lift, there's almost no way that Ken would have just dumped him to the Magpies without indicating in some way in the previous weeks that his form was heading there.

[Spadge]

seeing Bassett in Port gear will be a little disturbing to be honest

 

[Portmanteau]

Good appointment

Just watch him get poached before the 3 years are up

 

[FallingLiefs]

I'm shocked! where did this come from? Worst kept secret in 3 years, them Essendon leaks eh.

Great appointment though.

 

[QPower]

Good appointment.

Brings football IQ in spades.

 

[LeoMessi]

I really rate Bassett actually. Will be a very good addition to our coaching staff

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Told ya lads and ladies. Good get

 

[Black 18]

Excellent.

The guy knows his footy and isn't afraid to call a spade a spade.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Really happy with this.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

*crickets*

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Hopefully something like:

Bassett -> Backs
Nicks -> Forwards
Hocking -> Midfield (with Voss)
Clayton -> SANFL Coach

 

[Schulzenfest]

Hopefully something like:

Bassett -> Backs
Nicks -> Forwards
Hocking -> Midfield (with Voss)
Clayton -> SANFL Coach

I'd leave Nicks with the backs where he's done a really good job since he's been at the club. Bassett to midfield coach (with Voss), because he's known for his defensive nous and our midfield is shithouse defensively. Hocking to forward coach, a) by process of elimination and b) because he's filled that role for us before. I'd also be happy with Clayton as SANFL coach.

Gut feel based on nothing is that Nicks will change roles to further his senior coach prospects.

Yep, that sounds spot on.

Bloody great get. Top four lock next yr - the best thing is the rest of the AFL apart from Adelaide have no idea who he is and we will slip under the radar.
