'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.

    well we won't get all of them, but we want the best of them.

    Just as we do with the players, in it to win it.

    His speech to the GWS players was really good.. Would make our midfield stand taller.

    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.

    I think this idea has been raised before, but we could certainly do a lot worse. I would be thrilled if we signed up Lingy.

    Yep, there is already a thread on this.

    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?

    lol

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

    Let's get him.

    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.

    Don't really care about Chocos feelings .Just get him out of there and get me results .Cannot comprehend why he is still there .

    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......

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
