Cameron Ling for MFC 2014 Rumour

Ling has spoken with MFC about coaching next year. Informal chat, but still, bloody good news!

Was just pushed about it on the Ch7 pre-match show, and seemed VERY coy.

(When I say rumour, this was actually said by Ling himself, the rumour part is that nothing is official yet)

    Would be a huge get.

    Just wish the next thread will be a fact rather than another rumour.

    I wrote a few months ago about how he was at training and having chatted to him, learnt that he was mentoring Jack T, so no news here really

    Nothing mentioned about capacity or type of role. Just said he was thinking about getting into coaching next year, and when pushed he admitted he had had an informal chat with MFC.

    That was as a mentor role, we're talking about a coaching role. Completely different.

    Do you honestly believe he would be mentoring the captain and would not have had an informal chat with the club?

    This isn't news at all, it's a lot of nothing, Ling will be considering a job as assistant, nothing will happen till we have a senior coach.

    Gotta love all these rumour threads.

    Can't wait for one to be FACT.

    I suppose when we perform on field we won't have anymore rumour threads during the season.

    If we can't get Roos, I'd get Ling as coach without a doubt. Choko, Eade, whoever else couldn't hold a candle to the things this guy could do for us. He's a gem, and if you don't believe me just look at where the Cats were when he got there, and where they are now.

    He is a huge part of what has made them so successful.

    Melbourne should be moving heaven and earth to get Ling to come here as an assistant. Would be an enormous influence on our developing players.

    This was spoken about by Ling himself. So it's NOT a rumour that he's spoken to the club.

    Lol... If you think the possibility of Ling being an assistant next year is no big deal then good for you, personally I think it's bloody fantastic, and the fact he's talking about it himself on TV means things have been ramped up and he's seriously thinking about it.

    I wouldn't go that far just yet. I'm sure there are tonnes of other clubs interested.

    Nonetheless, the fact that we're in his ear is nothing but a good thing and hopefully he's up for a new challenge in his life and views the chance to take our list and mould it into a premiership-winning team as something he wants to go after.

    Would be a massive get as an assistant. Not senior coach. The club can not go untried, even for Ling.

    The most heartening aspect , everything else aside, is someone finds in as a good thing to be thinking Melbourne is coming onto the right path.

    I think it's great.

    It's why I wrote about it a few months ago. It's why this is old news

  • Quote

    As much as I appreciate Ling I don't want him as a key coaching figure. Simply because he has no coaching experience. I want him on board, however he would be more suited as the midfield developelment coach (left hand man to the midfield coach).

    It's NOT old news, Ling just spoke about it on the pre-game show about 20 minutes ago.

    There's a difference between you seeing Ling at training one day and Cameron himself saying on TV he's thinking about coaching and has spoken to MFC.

    The impression I got was he's a VERY good chance to be coaching somewhere next year. He didn't say he was seriously thinking about MFC just coaching in general.

    He was captain of the best team to ever grace the football field, at a club that turned it's fortunes.

    Cameron Ling would be perfect.

    Ling is the ultimate battler that got the best out of himself.

    Come to think of it, he'd probably be the best player on our list - barring Jones.

    Well he doesn't need the money, anyone wanting a challenge knows where we are.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
