Cameron Ling for MFC 2014 Rumour

[stuie 7,374]

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)

[beelzebub 23,389]

capacity ?

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

he would do wonders to the culture and confidence of this group and really rates trengove and grimes

[Schneider 220]

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

[stuie 7,374]

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.

[DemonOX 8,823]

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.

[Chook 15,022]

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.

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.

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.

might well be a done deal stuie.

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.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

PJ making all the right moves.

Cameron Ling, Paul Roos or Brett Kirk would all be gold for our club.

[beelzebub 23,389]

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

[ignition. 1,478]

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.

[stuie 7,374]

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.
