Gary Ayres

[ChrisHunt313131]

After winning his 2nd VFL flag as coach of Port against Richmond today I would love to see Ayres offered an AFL assistant coach role or an AFL club's VFL coaching role - deserves consideration in my opinion.

 

[demondavey]

No way. Lost his mullet. Don't come Monday.

 

[BTs Nana]

He is the true Silver Fox.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

The discussion always get shut down but Christ... his side plays a fantastic, fast brand of footy.

That was a team of 20 AFL players they were up against.

Send him to the pies.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Give him a go up north at GC I guess.

 

[demondavey]

Fairly significant gulf between VFL and AFL. I tend to think the better AFL assistants are well and truly entrenched in the system and I think it'd be great if he was reappointed from a grass roots level, but i highly doubt it with the way the game is played these days.

 

[ChrisHunt313131]

Yeah I doubt any club will - would just like to see him rewarded for his work at VFL level - I'm not saying as an AFL senior coach but a role at an AFL club in a lower position.

Gray hairs all the way

Is there any point of him leaving for an assistant's role?

 

[Underarm]

Is there any point of him leaving for an assistant's role?

Yeah i thiknk he enjoys being coach of a stand alone side. It would be afl club or nothing for him.

 

[demondavey]

What kind of coin would you be on as a VFL coach?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I'd like to see him get another crack at the big time.

 

[wally funk]

What kind of coin would you be on as a VFL coach?

Probably not a great deal compared to an AFL coach, but I imagine Gary would be on the higher end of the spectrum.

Couldn't agree more. 13 points down into time on in the fourth and they still went run and gun through the middle and got their reward. Great performance by the players and coaches today.

If Ayres gets a Gold Coast gig next year you can guarantee Gazza will leave. His father will make sure about that.

Ablett Jnr no chance to play at GC next year already.

Never liked each other from the young days growing up in the drouin and Warragul area

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

how can you turn down this guy?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Ports flag the other year was the result of a very unsettled opposition.
This year though they had a full compliment.
Don’t think he is AFL standard coach, but wouldn’t be surprised if clubs chase him to at least coach their 2nds

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Give him a go up north at GC I guess.

He's certainly open to that. He said as much this week in an interview.

 

[Pea Nut]

Considering all player payments at Port stopped months ago, I can't imagine it would be much.

Yep. A lot of alleged star AFL coaches wouldnt have capacity or awareness to have a crack

Really? Any reason?

In 2011? They went undefeated for the season.
