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: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
