Got quite excited to see Ling walking away from the Aami Center and past training. Even more so when he walked around the oval and watched training from near Richmond station end.

Went and got a pic with him to make her Geelong relos jealous and couldn't help myself throwing in line about how this will send rumour mill into overdrive, he commented how he has recently started doing some work with Jack Trengove and Jack had asked him to come along to check out training. Spoke very highly of Jack.

Would love to see him at the club a lot more!

I'm loving the fact that we are hearing more and more reports about our players seeking out or being connected with established AFL stars of the past and current day. Trengove speaking to Ling is great.

Watts speaking to Jobe Watson is great - and is it just me or has Watts form improved since we heard news of this.

I'm not sure if this is being initiated by the club or the players themselves, but it is a great sign of the players being willing to learn and develop, even to the extent of finding good people outside of the club to help them along the way.

Despite the manner of the loss against Essendon one great thing I noticed after the game was how Brendan Goddard went straight over to Watts and seemed to have a good conversation, not just a short sharp "bad luck" or "good game" comment. It's just a very positive thing to see amongst all the other crap we read about.

It's really good that the players that are being called out to talk and mentor are very good players and in the instance of Ling, very successful. We probably couldn't ask for better role models for our young midfielders.

I just hope Lingy doesn't turn into another Garry Lyon and loses touch with footy reality by staying too long in the media.

Ling sounds like a fantastic communicator and appears to have a lot to offer in a coaching capacity. I'd have him at the club in a heart-beat.

I noticed this as well and thought it was really good to see.

That's called buttering Watts up for a defection to Essendon in the near future.

He'd be a no-brain target - all the tools to succeed, just poorly developed, looking for support and hopefully you can get him on the cheap.

Don't be too excited about Goddard rushing to pat him on the back.

Almost couldn't think of a better player for Trenners to be talking with at the moment, with all the talk about how he's lost so much of his pace. Considering Lingy wasn't the fastest player going around but was still a great player/captain. Good on him for going out of his way to help a young and upcoming captain of the game. Hopefully see's a bit of himself in young Jack.

Lingy was giving nothing away, though I tried. Asked straight out whether Jack had OP and if not what has happened to the pace that he had in his first two years and is no longer visible. Got nothing...

I would rate Cameron Ling WAAAYYYY ABOVE Gary Lyon, for footy nous and ability to Mould success through practical experience!

Come to think of it I rate Cameron Ling Above Gary Lyon ... Period!!

Not really, was there whole time once he set up shop, I went and said hi to him, was very friendly

Well there you go I was there for the first 30 minutes or so and I didn't see Lingy over in the bushes. I was basking in the incredible balmy weather riding my bike back home from the city. While I was waiting for training I rode up to the Collingwood setup and it is fantastic, so open with a running track on the outside of the training oval. I can report to the Victorian Goverment that funded Eddies vision of a training facility that is safe for women, that there was one women running around the track. Who knows how many women were running around the tan where there must be any number of deviants just waiting to jump on them. Thank God for Eddie and the Goverments funding of the Lexsus Centre.

They were questioning lingy about coaching at the mfc on one of the footy shows. Said he would be more then happy to listen to what the mfc have to say and would definetely consider it. Said nothing had been said yet.

deeluded deeluded deeluded.....names like Ling and Knights send a shudder through me. Am still confident Dees can crack a Flag in my lifetime and hopefully be a final 8 prospect by 2015. Sylvia, Hogan, Clark/Dawes, Toumpass, Viney, Watts, Blease, Gawn, taggert, Clisby, Frawley, Howe, Terlich, the Jones boys,Trengrove, Grimes are all class players and still developing. Two more high high draft picks, a quality EXPERIENCED Coach and we're on our way to a flag in 2016 or 2017.

Thaipantsman call choose someone firstly who wants to Coach MFC not just for $. My choice at this early stage in no particular order are Mark Williams, Rodney Rocket Eade or Bomber T if h we can afford him.

Williams at 54 would be good. Please don't entertain the thought of Knights, Ling or any other "thinkers".

I don't think anyone is calling for Ling as senior coach but as part of the FD he will be a great pickup.

He's not ready IMO to be a senior coach, who is straight out of footy? But could become one.

.... assistant of some kind, right hand man? but I'd prefer he be the right hand man, & coach the VFL side, as his priorities in his first season. Being the No 1 assistant, when free from the Scorps time schedule...

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
