Brad Gotch leaves Casey for Port assistant role

[Demon 86]

PORT Adelaide has signed Brendan Fevola's VFL coach Brad Gotch as an assistant to Matthew Primus.

The former Fitzroy and St Kilda rover this morning accepted an assistant coaching position with the Power.

His two years in charge of Casey Scorpions produced top-four finishes that dissolved into straight-sets finals losses.

Gotch said he was thrilled to receive an opportunity to serve as an AFL "line" coach.

"(I'm) really excited about it. It's going to challenge me to be a good contributor and help get the club up and going again," he said.
"It's happened quickly. I only heard from (Port Adelaide) last Friday."

Will be interesting to see how much say the Dees have in the next appointment...

The media annoys me so much sometimes. Had to say, "Brendan Fevloa's VFL coach" didn't it?

Absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Fev but might as well include his name in there to get someone to read it. Scummy crap.

Anyway good luck Brad, will miss your overly positive player reviews

Had a quick look at the headline and did a double take, I thought it said that Port had signed Fev for a second!

I wonder if he rated Port's list as good?

No doubt

The question is now who replaces him.

Will Neeld/Craig et al get a say in this? Should hope so.

 

[Tulip]

yeah, good

Anyway, best of luck to him

I would imagine so. I believe that our assistant line coaches are now involved with the Casey team, so that we have a consistent gameplan.

Nathan brown???

 

[Canary]

Brad was solid.

 

[Demon JP]

Wonder if he knows how to use skype.... maybe fev will teach him?

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Hooray!

 

[Bartram_Class]

Bit of a problem for Casey it seems, keeping their coaches.

Wasn't that long ago that Peter German left.

 

[Andy_Mac]

Never rated this bloke. This could only be a good thing for Casey and the MFC.

 

[pjfairbairn]

Don't rate him, but would love first access to his son should he choose footy over cricket...

 

[Demon 86]

You do know his son is about 3 foot tall? Seen him play a few times and I'm a fan but he'll be available with any of our three picks in ND and probably rookie draft too. Should he choose AFL of course...

 

[Deestroy]

I rate his decision as good.

Brett Lovett named as replacement- welcome back Brett.

. FORMER Melbourne star Brett Lovett has been appointed Casey Scorpions coach for the next two years.

Lovett, who played 235 matches for the red and blue from 1986-97 (he sits 10th on the club’s all-time games record), said he was delighted to return to Melbourne via its VFL affiliate.

“It’s been 13 years since I’ve been at Melbourne and I played 13 years at Melbourne,” Lovett told melbournefc.com.au.

Told Fev he doesn't have a spot either, because Melb wants to develop its forwards. Nice.

 

[Demon 86]

I like it! Got Casey back under control.

Guess that closes the door on any faint hopes some people had of Fev lining up for the seniors next year.
