Adelaide skipper Tex Walker says development coach Tate Kaesler is off to join Gold Coast.

But, joining Triple M's Roo and Ditts, believed the report saying Josh Francou was doing the same was incorrect.

WALKER EXPLAINS:

Reports have emerged suggesting Kaesler and Francou were both set to join Gold Coast for next season and beyond, with Francou breaking a three-year deal just one year in.

"(It's) just an opportunity," Walker told Triple M Adelaide.

"He's done a great job for our footy club and an opportunity's comes up. Just hopefully he takes a bit of sunscreen with him, he's got pretty fair skin!"

But Francou? Not the same.

Walker told the guys he believed Francou was leaving the club, but not under the circumstances that had been reported, and a change of career was on the cards.

 

"He’s just decided that coaching isn’t for him any more," he said.

Chris Dittmar says that wasn't the news that originally broke.

“Hang on. We’re told he's going to the Gold Coast," Ditts replied.

“So there are conflicting stories here."
