But you can't.

I don't think I could think of a worse ex-coach to go after though. Ayres is a hack.

Posted 11 August 2011 - 01:24 PMI have an intense dislike for Gary Ayres.

If he actually were to become coach of the dees, I'd seriously have a hard time supporting them.

Fortunately there's no chance of that happening

Couldnt agree more, Hated him as a player even more so as a coach

Hope you are right

Arrogance was his middle name as both

You bet i would go into Debt to get a coach like Mick Malthouse & his assistants to this club Rhino it's 2012 next year & Free Agency is right around the corner.

If we want players to stay at the MFC or to attract players to our club we gotta go out there NOW.

Get your old head out of the sand Precious Rhino or else there will not be an MFC in 5 years.

With you managing the debt I would give us no more than 3 years.

You work on finding those statements about MM being interested in coaching MFC. Cant wait.

OK you have said it now. You don't like him - intensely. So maybe your view is a little jaundiced.

Well I subscribe to Malthouse's theory that as a coach, if you're out of the game for 1 year, you're too far out of the loop.

That's partly my reasoning on Matthews too (also that he is not that astute tactically).

Don't ask for a link, because I can't remember where he said it.

Malthouse did say something like that but he is the master of obfuscation isn't he? It suits his purpose to say that.

He has also said he wants to continue coaching. So the two statements don't align do they given he has committed to the Pies next year (and contractually for the next 2 years).

You say you would believe Malthouse but we know that Malthouse broke his contract at the Weagles to come to Collingwood. So what he said I take with a grain of salt.

I don't subscribe to that theory just because Malthouse said it.

He just adds further weight to it.

His comments on continuing coaching, I believe, are genuine.

Breaking a contract is not lying - it's changing your mind.

I don't whether he has lied about other things anyway - who hasn't?

I believe that in spite of his contract situation he'd dearly like to continue coaching, at Collingwood if possible, and that he believes being out of the coaching game for a year would leave you too far behind to assume a head coaching role.

I happen to agree with him.

I'd prefers Lethals record over Malthouses bullsh&t .

Matthew should charge double whatever Malthouse gets .

Leigh probably makes plenty in the media .

Too much to help the Dees to a flag .As with Gary Lyon .

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
