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)

    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

    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
