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)

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 me

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

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.

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.

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.

Facts, FACTS, you cant handle Facts !!! Its a fact apparently that 99% of facts ....aren't. So we have no worry about dealing with facts here DemonOX....:)

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

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
