Ayres??
I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything more about him joining our club in some way.There was an article about 2weeks ago the afl website saying he was strongly rumoured to join us.

Re: Ayres??
There were rumours at the time that he was going to get the Academy Director job. Those who started it must have pretty good clairvoyant powers as the rumours started before applications closed for the job !!peter lockwood wrote:I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything more about him joining our club in some way.There was an article about 2weeks ago the afl website saying he was strongly rumoured to join us.

The time-frame matches this as applications closed Friday 11 November !!zebraman wrote:I had a text today from a mate who reckons Ayres has left Port and has the job....his sources are usually pretty accurate
However...I'll believe it when I see it

I have friends who are close to the top at Geelong. (Sadly my only inside-footy contacts these days.

Remember that escapde? Off to Adelaide - and how did the Crows go under the great coach? Not too well... Yet the same playing list picked up dramatically as soon as G Ayres was dispensed with. Hmmmm...
Our club has just seen the back of one Judas, we do NOT need another I reckon.
So it's NO to G Ayres for me - not even if he ditches that mullet and the unnecessary use of the plural form.
It's Dave, man. Will you open up? I got the stuff with me! -------Who?

No job at Port Adelaide can be remotely described as a "Top Job".Junction Oval wrote:Top jobs in footy are not easy to come by, so if Ayresey has resigned, it shows that he has a "definite" role elsewhere - looks like it could well be us.
His fit for the Academy role looks good. I would not have been so comfortable in him being directly involved in an Assistant Coaching role.
More like the job you take when you can't find a job.
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Because the job is about training new blokes and getting blokes from the seniors who STILL CAN'T f****** KICK STRAIGHT some skill lessons. Its a skill teaching job. Does anyone know anything about Ayres to know he'd be able to do it? Peter Hudson turned Loewe into a lovely set shot at goal. What it needs is someone like that.BigMart wrote:Having a guy who was a champion

the Academy directors position does not necesarily include hands on skill training as that is what McPhee, Hudson and Graham are doing.

It's easy to see why the Gary Ayres name is being thrown up on this thread, particularly when most other likely candidates are contracted elsewhere.thirty-seven!? wrote:Interestingly, Ayers has just been announced as one of the faces of Hawthorn's 2012 membership campaign. Whilst it may be reading too much into it, I wouldnt expect him to be doing something like this if we were about to announce him as being on our coaching staff??
However since the Watters announcement there have been many surprise appointments and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Saints pull another rabbit out of the hat with the Academy head.
