Id like to see Harves/Watters as senior coach with Ayres in a mentor role.
You can say whatever you like about his previous go rounds but Ayres stint at Port Melbourne has been pretty impressive. Won 69 out of 89 games in 4 years including 21 games undefeated and a flag this year. Hard to top that.

I am vengeance....I am the night...I....AM.....BATMAN
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass and im all out of bubblegum
ROBERT HARVEY A.K.A The Great Man, Banger, Harves, Ol' Man River...
384 games, 4 B&F's, 3 EJ Whitten Medals, St.Kilda Captain, 2 Time Brownlow Medalist, 8 Time All Australian, 2nd Highest Brownlow votes poller.... The greatest of ALL TIME!!
How would you or any one of us know? I'd suggest that no-one on here would have the first clue on how good a coach he is. Unlike a player where we see them perform every week, coaches jobs are 95% done during the week where no-one outside the inner sanctum observes them.
How many thought that Alistair Clarkson was a good appointment 6-7 years ago?
What exactly is the case against Ayres? So many people have said no on this site but not provided reasons? Those that are for Ayres have provided logocical reasons suporting their case.

Please not Ayres for the senior coach though; he had his chances and never got to the top
Goodbye membership if so.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Put it this way. I want to be wrong. So incredibly wrong.
Gary Ayres is all of a sudden so incredibly gifted as a coach that his failures at Cats and Crows is ignored???
IF Gary Ayres is such a fricken coaching gurur - why the ferk hasnt he been hounded for the last 4 coaching jobs that have been appointed? - he wasnt even in the mix for them..............but the goold old saints will provide the perfect fodder to kick start this guys career?
**** disaster IMHO - IF thats allright with some round here to have.
BTW - How long has Ayres been out of AFL????
Why wouldnt you go for a senior assistant who also has been at the forefront of the best club for the last few seasons????? and who is CURRENT???
Board changes are also a worry..but then you can almost hear the media "here goes the saints implosion.............Ross's call was justified.." FFS.

When Ayres name first came up I thought not a bad choice, these stats help solidify that.

Yeah, Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, Adelaide and, of course, Freo must be kicking themselves they didn't wait for the VFL Premership to be decided!

Suppose we'll have to wait til 14th October
If you mean October 14 2012 then yeh we should know by then? Maybe?
When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss
