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 ?

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.

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
