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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
