if he stops calling us Port Power then i think he'll go well

Bitter sweet.

 

[Trewth]

I love it, defensive minded, hard, and a bit surly. Just what we need.

And diabetes.

The only coach at Essendon to embark on a legal injecting program. Superb trolling by that man.

Keep him away from your forward line.

 

[Rising Power]

Pleased with this addition.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Tick.

 

[PatientMental]

No word on the reshuffle of lines.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Keep him away from your forward line.

Wasn't he singled out and thanked by a few Essendon players at your B&F? But I agree, I'd rather him coach the backlines/midfield rather than forwards.

Maybe, but from what I've seen his forward structures and strategies aren't conducive to scoring heavily.

 

[Triple E]

Anyone know how the long his deal is?

Welcome aboard token ex crow.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Hopefully he gets the midfield gig. Nicks is doing well enough with the defenders to justify holding his spot, and Bassett's defensive nous should make a big difference to our midfield which was shithouse defensively all year.

 

[stokholme]

This is one of the most important decisions made going into 2016 if we are hoping to make a proper bid for the flag once again, along with the acquisition of Dixon and retention of Schulz.

2013 we had Richo challenging Ken, 2014 we had Walsh - two men we know are both outspoken and not afraid to challenge their main man. It's no coincidence that a lack of tactical nous in the coach's box this year also happened to see a steep decline in performance. Kenny is a great coach, but every great coach needs a right hand man to bounce off of, who will challenge them and won't be afraid to question their decisions.

Bassett is absolutely this man, he is no yes man - he will not be afraid to speak up to Kenny and let him know if he thinks he's doing something wrong. I predict some real chemistry between these two hard-headed men and Bassett will play a big part in reinvigorating Kenny, who has often looked bored and reserved in the box this year, a real disappointment considering last year we could be seven goals up and Kern would still be punching holes in walls.
