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.

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.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
