Our midfield's been terrible for years.

Fair enough... but you would imagine that players like Scarlett or Mooney would know of what Cam Ling is capable of.... otherwise why mention it in the media ?

I think it was Scarlett - I heard it too. It's a decent enough endorsement for me. While Lingy isn't guaranteed to be a gun coach just because of his playing credentials, you'd be knocking the door down for an interview. The other issue is he's building himself a bit of a business empire - more than enough to keep him occupied.

Now I'm feeling foolish.

But my central tenet still stands. People shouldn't go backwards with their careers.

It happens all the time. Reload, have another crack or just be a top assistant.

I would welcome Bails back as an assistant in a few years. He is a smart man.

Well if Ratts left the Poos, perhaps Ling would be on the senior radar there. If he's that good, why not?

Doesn't have the assistant stepping stone yet, but he's fresh out of a very successful club in which he was premiership captain in his final year.

IF... The Blues finish outside the 8, is there a chance he might get the flick? Club going backwards and all of that. They have a history of cutting what they perceive as their losses.

KB on SEN this morning has them finishing 9 or 10, for what his opinion is worth. Not the easiest run home to the finals.

Should we have a go at getting him back as midfield coach (and p!ss off Brian Royal) if he's available?

I liked very much what he did for us previously.

Comments?

He could take over from Neeld.

Is Ratts leaving the sinking ship?

Yeh we'd welcome him back, but not going to happen.... you usually don't go back to your old employer for your old job back...

Why not? Seems to me the only reason he left in the first place was because his beloved Blues wanted him back and offered him a job. Now that they have shown him the door, and he has stated he wants to get another coaching gig, I reckon he could do worse that join Neeld's coaching panel...!

I, for one, would love to have him back.

Heard him at the Press conference this morning.

said he was a"Career Coach" and would be around in the future.

Also said he valued his contact with Parkin over the years.

Guess who is the chief advisor at Port re the new coach

I think he is a monty to coach Port Adelaide

He will not be at the Dees in the near future.

Fair enough, but Adelaide is a hole. Who'd wanna live there?

And Port eats its own. Taking them on as an outsider would be doubly fraught.

If he did not want that entire basket case then I'd be happy if he took on part of our basket case since I remember him having our mids firing like they never have since.

On the field they are a way better basket than the MFC pitmaster.

He wants the big job not an assistant at a poor club.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
