Yeah I was just joking about the fact that everyone seems to expect him to say it every time he says anything, and if he doesn't we take it as a sign that he's coming to Adelaide

Seems the appropriate place too!Any time is the right time on BF.
Had to google frog cake.
Unlike cane toads, these did not spread outside its state line.
The thing about sumich and dew not being called tells me that the club already has its man, and has had him locked in for some time.
The knockers may think the club is incompetent, but they're not so incompetent that they would conduct a search for a coach without contacting dew or sumich.

Sick of hearing people still clinging to the dream Clarko is coming here.
He aint.
He has a chance at being the first Hawthorn coach to wini four flags. That will be his legacey.
And good on him. He has built this team up from nothing into a powerhouse.

Ye not sure about that.
Rowey obviously has contacts in the AFC. The other day he was relaying some info from the club to supporters. That info was:
1) this will be finalised quickly.
2) the club knows what they want and who they want, and have gone after the candidates.
3) there are 2 candidates and the club would be happy with either one.
4) confirmed that Sumich, Dew, Burns and Tudor have not been spoken to by the club. Pretty sure Sumich himself has also been quoted as not being contacted.
5) confirmed Bassett has
6) sounded like they have also spoken to Bolton and Ratten.
7) the head coach will be announced by the end of next week
Whilst some bag Rowey he is close to the club and has the contacts. I'm going on the assumption his info is accurate and he's not feeding the supporters a line.
I agree. Lets get Bassett to turn us into a powerhouse again. They way the Hawks put the Swans to the sword was amazing. Skills and hardness are elite.
Yeah I've been thinking it's Bassett or Bolton with a senior assistant unless there's been good stealth work and it might well be someone like Dew..
There aren't many senior assistants around so that might be Ratten..

not overly short, about $5
Bass supported by Ratts with ROK and Dasher would work today

absolutely, we need to be brave.
It will be Bass.
I am liking this line of thinking a lot!
Bassett has all the tools to be a VERY VERY GOOD coach at this level. He is definitely a different cat. A perfectionist whom players love but he also has hard edge and can give mother of all sprays! I rate the fact that he has taken over a basket case team and built them into a powerhouse. Sure its the SANFL but it is the 2nd best competition in the country.
He is far from a member of the boys club so any suggestions of such are ridiculous at best. And no I am NOT a Norwood fan. I just rate the guy immensely as a coach. If we don't get him, someone else will reap the rewards when they do.
Get Bassett and put a great team around him and watch him turn us into what Hawthorn are today. When it comes to coaching, some guys just have it! The Hound is one of those guys. The players will LOVE him no doubt,
Whether you "like" the bloke or not, Bassett's success at SANFL level is undeniable.
A lot of people don't "like" Blight, Pagan, Malthouse and Clarkson either.
It's not about popularity. It's about respect, and leading men.

Wasnt it luke jericho he publicly chastised on facebook or twitter when luke whinged about not getting a day off? What what you put on twitter tex if the hound comes to town.Yeah, I can picture this alpha male telling our players "HTFU!".
He can bring Aish and Puopolo with him if he likes!
Personally I would be happy with an assortment of assistants from various successful clubs. My thinking is that by doing this we give our coach access to as many of the best current tactics as possible.

I think Bassett will be a very good senior coach one day.
Ideally though he'd spend several more years in the AFL system, perhaps experience a different role, different club or different senior coach, and then step into a senior role.
It's only because our job is available that he's being mentioned this early in his career. If it was Gold Coast instead of us who had the coaching vacancy no one would be mentioning Bassett.
Still, sometimes planets don't align. It might be a fraction early for Bassett in an ideal world but you can't always get exactly what you want.
No matter who coaches us Camporeale, Clarke and Bickley cannot be part of the coaching team. Regardless of whether they are any good, they have been there a long time, we have had minimal success during their time and we need some fresh voices and ideas.

I don't know what the story was behind the T-shirt and cap but they epitomise Bassett perfectly.
