I heard that rumour last week....nothing has been announced yet, but more than happy with him if he gets the gig

Can i ask why you think the decision was made for Sandy to appoint their own part time coach instead of the arrangements we have had the last 2 years.

It is awfully strange, and does not put our second tier players in a good position.

My understanding is that the hours involved of being Sandy coach plus development coach with the saints was somewhere in the region of 80 hours per week. With a young family I guess that was having a detrimental effect on his personal life...the decision to have just a part time coach has been given the ok by St Kilda as far as I know...I'm sure whoever gets the job will have some form of involvement with St Kilda...just not the same full on involvement that Andy Lovell had..

I just worry that Sandy and Frankston will be the only 2 clubs with part time coaches. Even Port melbourne have a full time coach. I am looking through my Saints eyes and I am not sure how both sides can play similar footy when the coach will not be around the saints much at all. i must admit it seems to me that this arrangement will struggle to last the 5 years.

I don't think Gary Ayres is full time at Port Plugger...I think he has some sort of business (liquor store?) plus his coaching duties

I was told by a Saints coach he was.

Agree FQF, looks like Sandringham are not completely comfortable with the present arrangements and would like their own man there. The coonection will still remain but it won't be the same as with Andy Lovell.
