Guest Friend - Gary Ayres

Guest, Friend... Gary AyresWith Swanny off on very important business (most likely crafting the perfect last-minute excuse from the porcelain throne), we brought in footy royalty to hold court—five-time premiership Hawk, former Geelong coach, and all-round legend Gary Ayres. In this epic chat, Ayresy dives deep into the locker room stories, coaching lessons, and footy wisdom only decades in the game can deliver. He pays heartfelt tribute to the late, great Allan Jeans, reflects on coaching the enigmatic Billy Brownless, and shares his unique perspective on playing alongside the freakish talent that was Gary Ablett Sr. Add in mentions of Hawks icons like Dunstall, Dipierdomenico, Langford, Mu, and Platten—and you’ve got an episode that truly earns its spot in the Swanny & Friends hall of fame.Follow & support us elsewherePodcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Year Round CarnivalThe Kennedy Community Center: https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/club/kennedycommunitycentreSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/hump-day-with-swanny-and-friends.
