Gary Ayres is coaching at port melbourne, he's been there for a while. Just saw an interview, where he said he is definatly intrested in the Melbourne coaching job, but not intrested in the adelaide one(been there before?)

He's been getting good results at port melbourne, i'd be happy to have him as coach.

I'd definately have him before Eade, Port haven't lost a game this year and I would be happy for him to be coach. He did a good job at Geelong but left to go to Adelaide for more money, had the curse of Victorians coaching AFC, they never get a real chance and people all around them at the club stab them in the back until they are forced out.

I guess you don't rate coaching at VFL level as being in the game.

The AFL.

VFL is a different kettle of fish.

Malthouse deemed sitting out of coaching, being the Director of Coaching as being out of it.

Said he wouldn't try to go back into coaching after a year out of it.

All of this is from memory, mind you.

I think he said it on SEN.

how did he go at the Cats and Crows ?

thats right he was *hit

big deal VFL Mark williams won 3 flags as sandy coach

Based on the OP's criteria, would prefer him as a player rather than a Coach. Ayres has had his day as a coach and been found wanting at the top level. We surely can do better than Ayres cant we?

Would you say- Bailey was as good.. I think he could definately be a possible punt along with a good sidekick..

I'd take Bailey over Ayres every day of the week.

Don't give up on Malthouse. We may all be pleasantly surprised.

i have my money on Mick Malthouse....He keeps sticking up for the battling clubs!!! i think he is showing signs of being very interested.

Is it relevant what Bailey was like as a player?

I dont want the Club to "punt" a coaching position particularly to a coach who is a 2 time failure at AFL level.

I want the best coach around.

Bizarre. His past two coaching roles have been with the richest football admins in the country. He is smart enough to go where the good money is.

What signs has he shown that he is very interested in Melbourne's coaching? Can you provide me with a media link where he has said or indicated this? This is big news.

Work it out yourself Rhino, he has been giving little moments in the media all year.

Are you implying MFC money is no good??? Now that is a big statement!

Like...Do you have the links?? ...Sounds like more of your melodrama WYL?

Why do you make up silly implied versions of others posters view? Does it make your position feel more plausible?

Given today's press is reporting Malthouse is getting over $1 million a year, can MFC afford that if it already can rattling the can to save Scully? Also given Malthouse's preference for well financed football departments, why would he take a salary hair cut and a reduced FD budget to coach MFC? The closest the players get to Arizona is a travel brochure in the physio's rooms.

All MM has said is that he has not ruled out coaching again when his current contract expires. He has said nothing about coaching another club like MFC directly or by implication. If anything his pronouncments have been designed to stir the pots at his current home.

Strawman, Rhino - the club is not rattling the can to save Scully.

It's an issue of whether we can pay him enough under the salary cap.

Obviously Malthouse's $1.1mil salary would not come under the cap.

Continue.

I hope so Rhino. Ayres has had his chances at the top level, and come up short. Being a successful coach in the VFL certainly doesn't imply success in the AFL (there's a chasm between the two levels). As an illustration, we already have a three time VFL premiership coach amongst our assistants, but his name never comes up as a prospective senior coach.

Geez you really are rambling on today Rhino...Lift your game son

Rattling cans?? Where? Sometime i read your posts and think you actually want this club to fall over!

MM has made many statements this year that are a little different to his norm....Sharing Anzac Day...worried about the gap between top and bottom sides....draft concessions to struggling clubs...

Enough for me to put a few $$$ on him becoming our next coach...it's a bet, i take my chances on that.

If Malthouse was announced coach...our membership would surge no doubt, thus paying a wage for him and assistants.

What's your problem????

Geez you really are rambling on today Rhino...Lift your game son

Rattling cans?? Where?

Foundation Dinner.......

Thanks for confirming there is no indication that he is actually interested in MFC. The rest of the floss was unnecessary.

Well there's your Mick Malthouses, your Leigh Matthewses, your Alistair Clarksons and then there's your Gary Ayreses.

Of course it is a donation....every saturday i go to the 'G i donate, that's how it works. Members pay.

A tin rattle is had on a Punt Road intersection.

We can afford Malthouse,l regardless of Rhino's ramblings.

Its a fund raiser Precious.Dont fret

Will we go into debt WYL to do it?? Will you advise the Club on proper debt management??

Indeed.

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.

Back on topic.

No.

And no to Eade, Laidley and williams.

Clarkson maybe still in the mix.

Ewww....

No thanks. Most Geelong fans would laugh at us if we did this. Crows fans, too....
