I'd like to see Gary Ayres at our club in a Snr Asst Coaching role. By all reports he is a very astute game day coach, has AFL senior coaching experience and what he has been able to achieve at the Borough has been outstanding. To get a stand alone VFL club to two premierships and three minor premierships in that time is impressive.

Very good point.....

Would be good but big call to relocate at his age I'm guessing.

I know we've lost a lot of coaching experience, but I like the current group of young line coaches in Kirk, Shaw and Johnson. They are all sharp footy minds. We also have a few other guys around the shop like Crouch, Maxfield and Nick Davis. I don't think we are necessarily short a coach even though we lost Stewy Dew.

With experienced coaches like Longmire and Blakey at the helm I don't see a place for a Gary Ayres who has been used to running his own show for a long time.

Dean Cox is the latest rumour.

I doubt he will take the job with us once he sees the group he has to work with.

Considering that looks like an excellent kilo of spuds, you're comment is a bit harsh.......

The Dean Cox article isn't loading for me but if he is coming as the ruck coach then that might explain why Taubert was having drinks with the current and past ruckmen?

We should be so lucky to have the 4 in the picture. And wouldn't put much of a dent in the salary cap either.

The article says Cox has senior coaching aspirations so if he does join us it doesn?t necessarily mean it?s as a ruck coach

I played golf with Gary Brice ( ex south player and president of the port melbourne past players association for those people who don't know who he is. ) after port won the other day. I asked him about Ayres and if he still wanted to coach at AFL and he said Garry IS interested but doesn't know if there is much interest with AFL clubs

Blast from the past Bexi. Brice was a very good player at half forward. No 7 with a barrel chest. Successful coach of Port as I recall.

I liked Bricey as a kid. South and Port were closely connected, so I always barracked for Port in the then VFA. Was very happy to see them beat the Tigers in the VFL GF.

I'm excited I thought we needed a shake-up and now it has happened. I think new voices will re-awaken the hunger.

Tend to agree with this. New Blood(s)......

A fantastic player for us and Port Melbourne and a Premiership coach of the Borough! Great bloke as well!
