Gary Ayres Speaks

[Mong]

He has a little bit to say but still isn't saying much.

Give credit where it's due: Ayres

 

[DaveW]

One thing Ayres is certain about is the correctness of his decision to call it quits after being told he would not be coach next year, rather than see out the season.

He points to the unedifying sight of Rohde, Schwab and Frawley turning up for work at clubs that had rejected them.

"The decision was made, you cop it. I could have stayed and had the last nine weeks of the year, but what does that achieve? You're not going to be there next year. You'd just be setting the place up for someone to come in and take it anyway," he said.

"Poor old Danny, he stayed nine weeks and didn't win a game. Schwabby stayed one week and found that the emotion of not having the job any more flattens you - it doesn't make you productive. Rohde won one game, I think, after the decision was made. Adelaide won four, I think.


Hmmm.

Ayres leaving when he did cost us a priority pick.

What a stupid comment. Sounds like you want the club to perform badly and play for draft picks.

... & Tambling?

Would've made a nice replacement for Andrew McLeod.

With the position we were in midway through 2004? You bet.

... & Tambling?

But that would change the whole complex of the draft...we might not have got Meeson.

Food for thought.

Well - we would have been able to still get Meeson with our pick, after getting Tambling (say, or perhaps Griffen) with our priority selection ...
