Bassett played 210 games for Adelaide between 1998 and 2008. He joined Norwood Football Club as senior coach in 2010
and coached the 'Red Legs' to back-to-back premierships in 2012 and 2013.

Dear Members and Supporters
Today Nathan Bassett has informed the Club that he has accepted a role with the Essendon Football Club in the AFL.
We have been in discussions with Nathan throughout the latter part of the season to assure him that the Norwood Football Club understands his desire to pursue his ambition to Coach at the highest level but if an appropriate offer was not available that we want him to be Senior Coach at the Norwood Football Club for as long as possible.
The offer that Nathan has accepted is a great opportunity for him to continue his Coaching development and we wish him every success and we know that Essendon have made a great appointment.
Although we are sad to be losing Nathan he has established a legacy that will endure for many years here at Norwood and the Board is determined that our next Senior Coach will continue to build on the success of our back to back Premierships.
Nathan leaves the Norwood Football Club with a record that may never be broken and the gratitude of the Board, the Members and Supporters and we wish Nathan and his family all the very best with this appointment and with their move to Melbourne.
We will continue to keep our Members and supporters informed as we now progress the process of appointing a successor to Nathan.


Sounds like Norwood are pretty happy with their 2 in a row

Dont agree, will be a great asset.
Dont forget he is only an assistant at Essendon, the game style will still be Bomber's. Bassett doesnt have total control like he did at Norwood

Which is why he may struggle ... not saying he definitely will but I wish him all the best anyway, deserves an opportunity at AFL ranks.

How Apt - Salary Cap Cheat going to the Drug Cheats!!

The fines for abusing umpires and punching opposition coaches & players are a lot higher in AFL.

And that other club that couldn't win a flag until the SANFL became a feeder league, let's not forget them.
