Just throwing it out there for consideration for a role at MFC.

Played 269 matches - 5 time premiership player

Coached 223 matches for 54% success, including finals for Geelong (95, 96, 97) and Adelaide (01, 02 03).

A Hawthorn hardman.

Now a Premisership coach at Port Melbourne (2012).

    Make him the interim coach. I dont want any from within, Which is a sad state in my belief at the club right now.

    Couldn't be worse than Neeld.

    Unfortunately the Collingwood off shoot coaches look like spuds compared to the Geelong ones.

    The guy I'd take from an inexperienced coach would be Sydney's (via stkilda and geelong Leigh Tudor).

    But mainly id go for an experienced coach.

    He should of been approached when Neeld began his career with us. We desperately need the experience of someone like Ayres in the coaching group.

    This thread shows, that forget the rookie coach. We need a battle hardened experienced coach.

    With an upcoming rookie at the side who can take over.

    Funny enough like what GWS have done and as did the Pies.

    So who are all the Expereinced Coaches ? What about a Ratten etc ?

  • Quote

    Not sure why he is written off when he does has runs on the board and has a much better record than our current coach at the highest level.

    In saying that it would be better to have a recent AFL head coach coaching us.

    Melbourne doesn't hire guys that were great players and achieved a lot.

    We hires losers like Bailey and Neeld

    Possibles: Ayres, Choco Williams, Rocket Eade, Roos, Worsfold, Sheedy.

    Gary Ayres could just be the perfect one for the Football Mangers role, won't be considered now for coach I believe.

    He must be considered for a role and sounded out.

    I think the days of Williams, Eade and Sheedy are gone. I dont think in there time of life they would want it.

    Roos happy in media and Well why would Worsfold leave WC.

    That leaves Ayres.

    But hey Ratten is at Hawks and might be a Premiership assitant at years end and he can bring Yze back with him.

    I think having someone like Ayres as some sort of coach would benefit.

    I have heard that after he was sacked by Adelaide, he went back and really worked on some of the things that failed him the last time. I'm not totally against it, although a tiny bit of me just wants to stick with Neeld regardless. I'm so confused right now.

  • Quote

    He's far too experience.

    I'd much rather a no-name.

    It's the Melbourne way

  • Quote

    please just dont let Gary Lyon anywhere near the coaching selection.

    Your right, because anyone who has come from within our culture, doesn't undestand its weakness. Melbourne has never been a tough rugged side since the Smith days finished...

    its time we were again.

    & its time to have a base away from the 'G', with all the necessary, for players & supporters.

    Its telling that the only logic for getting Ayres is "ugh he will be better than Neeld".

    Well done Sherlocks. I reckon if we had the position vacant we would still have a better option than the incumbent.

    If we can't achieve better coaches than Ayres then this Club is fire trucked.

    ...all these highlighted would be temporary bandaids.

    Only Roos, Sheedy & Matthews have recently changed an AFL clubs Culture.

    Barassi & Hafey before them.

    I reckon Demonland should take over, with a rotating roster.

    Hell, it's not like it could get any worse.

    • 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.
