From Norwood Football Club:

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

sadder for Essendon supporters, FFS the club had had enough lows in the past year, this takes it too a whole new depth

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

[smac]

He'll cope well with that. Real team player in the coaches box.

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.

The Scott boys both coped with being assistants so anything is possible

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.

When I read through the nasty dribble written by supporters of the lesser clubs, it makes me wonder how people think I'm a dickhead??!!

Don't worry Fester, we don't wonder, we know!
Could be worse, I've been known to be a cockhead.

For me, it was the moment you selected Norwood as the team you support.

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