Gary Ayres and Chris Pelchen having breakfast at table next to me this morning. The words "great new facilities" were heard. Might just be a couple of mates catching up or could be more.

    As Senior Coach or Assistant. The way I have been going he will end up at South Morang.

    Senior coach, I wouldn't think there'd be a market for an assistant would there? Surely his record at PM would have to put him square in line for a top job wouldn't it?

    It's a nice thought, but 2 failures and being out of the AFL system means he won't be in line for the top job. He'd make a good assistant to a young coach, but may well be happier being in charge at Port Melbourne. He's obviously got a good set up.

    I could imagine him being targeted for a Neil Craig / Mark Thompson role.

    Not sure if he'd go for it though.

    Damien Barrett on sunday footy show named about 10 people being interviewed by Saints for roles and didn't mention Ayres. You may have heard it here first.

    Malthouse started at SK (so they said at the GF) so maybe he'll return home?

    But seriously, I've heard the only one interested in the job is the St Kilda schoolgirl.

    I've also heard that Lyon is about to be sacked and Freo are signing Malthouse.

    But I could be wrong.

    Run Gary run, theyre a basketcase...or at least a rabble of nutjobs ever ready to self implode or eat their own. Strangely im not making that up. History is the worst ( or best ) judge of StKilda and it isnt kind.

    Still ..if youre short a quid and youre really into sado masochism Gary...go for it. :unsure:

    Wouldn't mind Gary Ayres at Melbourne as a defensive coach.

    Geez he could play...One of Hawthorns meanest when they were just plain mean & Nasty

    Coached by Allan Jeans, i have always been a little suprised Ayres didn't crack it big in coaching.

    He knows the game.

    WYL Im not with you on that one.

    I always thought Ayres was a key back with the luxury of playing in the pocket.

    Where we would have to put a Warren Dean, Grinter or a Sean Wight in the critical positions hawks had the langfords mews and knights.

    He almost never took the biggest or best.

    My jaundiced eye may be telling, but i reckon he was good not great.

    Bruce Doull however could play anywhere down back.

    I see where you are coming from, with some merit....But to play in Allan Jeans sides a player had to be top notch....They did play in 7 GF's in a row...dropped a year then won the 91...Ayres was right in there, with Langford.

    Obviously Ayres doesn't keep evidence of his coaching intentions in the rubbish bin.

    After Harvey was sacked I heard Barrett say something along the lines of "I heard murmurs earlier this week". What a crock, no one knew, not even Lyon's management.

    You don't win two Norm Smith's by accident.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
