Nice sensible and articulate first post..welcome Wendysaint.wendy wrote:Not trying to claim i know anything or think that i do, but I am happy with the outcome if watters and hinkley are our last two men.

Ayres would make a great mentor to an aspiring VFL coach. He hasn't been a senior AFL coach since 2004. It's like travelling down the road in a horse and buggy the game has changed so much.saint patrick wrote:Still reckon Ayres might be in there in a mentoring capacity..with one of the young guns as head coach..time will tell

Take it you are being sarcastic there Pav..still reckon he would have a lot to offer having coached at the highest level[Geelong and Adelaide] and currently at one level down with Port Melbourne with considerable success as well..tactically one of the 3 former assistants in the running for the main gig will have a pretty good handle on tactics,game styles ect ...SaintPav wrote:Ayres would make a great mentor to an aspiring VFL coach.

I'm not saying that Ayres doesn't have anything to offer just that he hasn't go anything to offer us given that he hasn't worked at an AFL club for three years.saint patrick wrote:Take it you are being sarcastic there Pav..still reckon he would have a lot to offer having coached at the highest level[Geelong and Adelaide] and currently at one level down with Port Melbourne with considerable success as well..tactically one of the 3 former assistants in the running for the main gig will have a pretty good handle on tactics,game styles ect ...SaintPav wrote:Ayres would make a great mentor to an aspiring VFL coach.

I reckon we interviewed him to get a mix of expirence and asisstants in the pool given that Eade had pulled out. It's just my opinion.

The mix of a young gun, with an experienced back-up, who could control his ego (difficult in AFL) sounded good to me initially, particularly with the enormous amount of change occuring within the Football Department.
All of the young guns will have the "footy smarts," but how good are their "people management" skills? I am confident that there are are couple of people on the Coaching Panel, who are very good at assessing these areas.

i'm still hoping for:
Senior Coach: Scott Waters
Backline Assistant Coach: Max Hudgton
Midfield Assistant Coach: Robert Harvey
Forward Assistant Coach: dunno
Combined role of Senior Assistant Coach/VFL Coach: Peter German
I think we need to bring in some ex players to help with develop ala what rocca and max were doing at collingwood
