News Nathan Bassett Departs

Chris Davies: The sky is blue

CD: I'm announcing my resignation effective immediate
PL: heck, he's here for life

 

[PowerBaz]

What we are doing in this space feels like how many tines i've seen Ken give a press or media interview after our straight sets exit....c. little to none.

They know what's happening and they know what we all think, hence announce nothing until April when Ken also reappears.

Such a staged managed pile of mediocrity is Port.

Channel nine reporting that Goldsack is the front runner to replace Bassett.

This club is a joke.

Yea I heard something like that added with Hartlett to coach the maggies.

Love to see who came second and third.

Goldsack > Hartlett

 

[backtozero]

Can't believe the right candidate was under our nose all along.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

The lack of stability is surely cause for concern.

 

[Scodges]

Would have surely heard of a replacement if it was external, most definitely in house you’d think.

Oh well he has definitely proven his worth in the SANFL, hasn’t he.

 

[Blinky Nyland]

I'm really disappointed that we are looking internally. We need fresh ideas and new relationships if we are going to improve. See my earlier post on GroupThink.

 

[bacharach]

Maybe we can't attract anyone worthwhile?. If you're an assistant coach why on earth would you want to work under Daddy Donuts? Seriously, what's the pull? At the moment, you'd opt to go to West Coast, North or Suns before Port for your development.

 

[all seeing eye]

Hinkleys disciples, no external noise please. Save some $$ I suppose.

 

[Alyx]

Love to see who came second and third.

2) Hamish Hartlett
3) Justin Westhoff/Paul Stewart/Jordan Hinkley/Jarrod Walsh/Alfie/The specialton running our social media

 

[TeeKray]

What would the pitch to a prospective assistant look like? You'll have to move cities, we won't pay you any more than your current club, we won't offer you any more opportunity or career progression than your current club - what do you say?

We could probably get a recently retired, relatively low profile player looking for a first opportunity or someone out of the system from a lower level but people would complain about that too.

Ultimately the soft cap is another mechanism that favours Victorian clubs. Without the ability to choose how much we spend and where we spend it, we're totally hamstrung looking for off field staff.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Didn't we pull an assistant from GWS?

Is he really not on the same plane as Goldsack/Hartlett?

 

[JimmyBC]

I've got hope for Goldsack tbh there's something about the guy, hard to tell at SANFL level when it's now a development dictated role with wildly unbalanced sides and 5th tier top-ups.

It's inward thinking as usual from the club, but it might be one that goes against the grain & works.

He was an analyst at WB and GWS. We made him assistant midfield coach.

5% of the time it works 100% of the time mentality.

 

[Finest of Wines]

This club needs to shut down

 

[Doctor Feel]

lol we could literally employ any other SANFL head coach and it would be better. This club is really weird. It's like some government agency just plopping redeployee's into roles they are grossly unqualified for because they at least turn up for work.

 

[backtozero]

I don't buy that they can't attract someone from interstate. The options are endless.
They're just going the cheap option.

 

[Burningleviathan]

Our ascent from the mire started with putting together a core group of good coaches around Hinkley, sounds like we are falling back to our dark days of whoever is cheapest. Explain to me how Cornes, Goldsack are any better than Hocking and Skype Laidley?

How long till they are coaching via zoom?
