News Nathan Bassett Departs

[edgie]

If Schulz, Gray, and Wingard weren't slotting it from improbably angles, and Dixon isn't sticking an ungodly amount of contested marks a game, has our forwardline ever looked good under Hinkley?

Westhoff kicking a bag was usually a good sign because he needed a good system to work in and around.

Was on track in 2012 bar injuries.

It's past 11pm, have we sacked Bassett yet??

Do we have to dig up John Kerr to get him to dismiss Bassett, because everyone else is too soft?

 

[Windy Cindy]

He’s like teflon

i would have sacked him 15 mins into the 3rd term.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Was okay with him the previous two years because at least we were locking the ball in the forward half.

Now that ability is gone, what is the point?

 

[all seeing eye]

A former backman and defensively minded sanfl coach, are we surprised that he cant construct a cohesive forward pattern.

 

[JUSTWORK]

His time has probably come, but in all honesty would it really matter who’s forward coaching with Hinkley senior coach ?

No. We've had a handful rotate as forwards coach and no change.

No.

Wasn't Lade the forward line coach when we bombed it on Sam Grays head?

 

[PAFC66]

There's a reason essendon hated this hack.

 

[Ljc_86]

He’s got to go.

our forward entries are s**t and are the same thing every time.



For the last five years.

has coached the worst forwardline system in the league for half a decade, and has played a big part in wasting the careers of some absolutely wonderful forwardline players.

 

[Lefti93]

Dem repeat entries tho...

Nathan Bassett has coached the worst forwardline system in the league for half a decade, and has played a big part in wasting the careers of some absolutely wonderful forwardline players.

But our forward line has been shyte since Schulz retired

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Who can we poach from Geelong? Watching their talls work together in open space in the forward line is a thing of beauty

Instead, we just run into one another

 

[Palpatine_Power]

Until you ditch Hinkley the micro-manager you won't get different results. Won't matter who we have as assistants.

Midfield went to their meeting the other day not knowing who was in the team. Farce.

 

[PowerBaz]

I recall Lade being ignored by Ken on field when he was trying to talk with him, was live vision from a game.

I don’t care for replacing assistants or players anymore.

We keep missing the obvious.

 

[Winganeen]

Less so these days but head coaches get sacked mid year, usually a couple.

Line coaches rarely are.

If ever there was a game that Bassett could have unpicked a system he had previously adopted, this was it.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Nah sack Bassett. Do it now. Sick of it.

Been given chance after chance and failed repeatedly.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Does any other club have a life time defender as their forwards coach?

 

[bow and arrow]

How can anyone possibly think that whatever our forward line plan is could ever work efficiently is unbelievable! Even the bottom teams actually try to make kicking goals possible. We make scoring a million times harder than it should be. It's just insanity. Please give our players some chance to play football!

who has told Marshall to not get to the drop of the ball? who has told marshall to hang out the back waiting for joe the goose?

we've taken a tall promising forward and asked him to play like Aaron Young

. Someone needs to play that role but it should be a butters, fantasia, gray type..........not marshall.

 

[1954]

I read somewhere the tingles recruited an ex geebung forward coach this season, whatever the reason someone, or something has turned back the clock on Tex to where he is an effective forward again.
The previous season or two he had looked beyond cooked!

Then fall over. Drop uncontested marks. Play ring a rosey. Fumble multiple times. Finally turn the ball over and watch as the oppo streak away.
Sheer brilliance.

 

[Rigs]

Keep him away from your forward line.
