Ling to Melbourne/ Get Cam Ling

Recommended Posts

'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.

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

Scott West?

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......

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
