The Port Melbourne Football Club has great pleasure in announcing the appointment of AFL legend Gary Ayres as senior coach for the next two years.
Gary brings to the Club a level of expertise that is unmatched at VFL level, a Team of the Century member of Hawthorn, five (5) time premiership player and having coached at Geelong (1995-99) & Adelaide (2000-04).
Gary welcomes the opportunity to coach at ‘grass roots level” and is looking forward to the challenge of coaching the most successful club in VFA/VFL history ( 15 Premierships) which has an exciting young list and with another strong recruiting drive that has already commenced will push for a place in the finals yet again.
