Gary Ayres - coach?

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 .

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
