Basset's Achievements As Forward Coach

Egan was selected as the forward line coach and the failure of this appointment was acknowledged when he was moved to the backline coaching position where he has done much better.

A decision was then made to make Nathan Bassett the forward line coach.

Let’s put a positive spin on this - what have been his key achievements in this role?

Perhaps you might like to rate his efforts out of 10.

Hard to tell Jackie. Perhaps its more important to rate the Skippy performance as stoppages coach. We have been severely damaged at stoppages this year. This has turned our forward line into a basket case from poor quality and quantity of supply and put the blowtorch on what was a very good defence.

Bass has gone from the rd 1 forwardline of this
HF Ambrose Carlise Zerrett
F Chappy Daniher Cooney

to this
HF Langford Hooker Laverde
F Ambrose Daniher Edwards

Chappy Cooked, Cooney looks shot, Carlisle cracked sads and didnt wanna play forward. Zerrett too good to play just forward and moved onto Ball. Daniher has had ups and downs like a young developing KPF.
Ambrose, opinions divisive on here…hes a hard nut, role player, but lacks to hit the scoreboard, or pick up possies.

Langford & laverde look exciting prospects
Laverde will probably be pinched for midfield duties in future seasons
Edwards has xcitement
Hooker has been good forward, using his smarts and body strength. Not 100% sure I want to keep him there permantly as he is a AA fullback. But our list lacks decent KPF’s. Would have liked coaches to try Bellchambers ruck with mckernan forward/pinch hit ruck more.

Ideally we get a small forward like Mckenna in next year
Hopefully 2016 forwardline looks ike this. Unless we trade Carlisle for a CHF and send Hooker back.

I reckon thats a good group to build the forward line from, could also get zaka in the HFF role that laverde is playing when Lav’s got more fitness to push into the midfield.
