'The bloke was a good player and made some comments on TV I like, so he would be a really good Coach'...?

Dennis Cometti wasn't a bad player and I reckon he'd bring a lyrical game style and a dry humour to our forwards - who clearly need it with the delivery they get.

I've seen a few posts lately about bringing Lloyd to Melbourne and others about Royal as midfield coach,the development of our mids etc. So let me throw this one out there. We could do a lot worse th

I'd be very welcome to the idea of having Ling mentor our midfield group.

Would love to see him take over our midfield coaching position. Fresh out of the game, and played in grand finals, captained the best football side in our era. Ling has everything we need for our young midfielders to learn from. Has played on the best midfielders the game has seen, and more often than not limited there involvement. If MFC are serious they should get rid of the out-dated "Hack Royal" and target Ling!!! Get Him

I'd love to see him as a playing midfield coach... Offer him a nice inducement for 1 or 2 years to play, & help onfield setups, as well as at training.

Watched a small snippet of pep-talk he gave the GWS kids the other day.

At least get him for one of those...

Poor Brian Royal.

To the question of why is the midfield bad, the answer from MFC supporters is 'Brian' and 'Royal'...

Personally, I think it isn't so stupidly simple as the line coach, but that's just rpfc being rpfc.

Dont often agree RPFC but you are absolutely correct

It must be diffficult for any line coach when all you have is 1 Huff no Puff "leader" unfit skinny players poorly skilled players and immature lets all get the ball syndrome

Nobody can work with that lot easily the worst midfield in the league

Mark Neeld was in charge of Collingwood's midfield when they won the flag in 2010.

Let's get him.

soooooooooooo Rpfc you would rather Royal, over Cam Ling? righteoooo

I'm sorry. Are you putting him on a playing contract?

Even though Royal is in the Bulldogs Hall of Fame I would play Ling ahead of him...

If we are talking about the midfield line coach - I don't know how he is going, I can't tell you what we should attribute to him in his first year as mids line coach.

I always read on here how bad he is, but never any substance. I want substance.

I'm addicted to substances...

Only for some rpfc.

I too don't consider Royal the crux of the problem but hey, on face value, Ling does have some appeal.

I don't think you read my post clearly, I am less worried about Royal's feelings than I am with the thought patterns of Melbourne supporters:

Melbourne + Brian Royal = Melbourne's Midfield is Terrible

Melbourne - Brian Royal = "Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together"

Has a lot of respect amongst the younger players, was a good move by GWS to get him to speak with the players after the game. but as has been said he is busy with business and may not have the time. Can always ask the question though.

Is it Royal or the Cattle?? Or both?

I think it is more the cattle who know the end is near.

That said, Cameron Ling's performance in the 2011 GF was all class.

A big battering ram/Sherman Tank.

He communicates well...

Get this coach - get that coach. How about some of the players get some heart and pride in the jumper. It doesnt matter who the coach is - this "stuff" has got to come from inside a player and not be coaxed by some put on a pedestal people trainer

Annoys me that Hird has Bomber next to him in games and Neeld has him .

Got any ideas Chocco?

The old Beamer /Jamar thing isn't working .

Nathan Jones is improving every year .

The others seem to be reversing.

May be he'd consider a part time roll? He'd be a get for our midfield......

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
