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.

He has previously said he is interested in coaching, not sure when though. Said same today. Old news.

He is mentoring the Melbourne captain, he has had informal chats with Melbourne. Hold the presses!

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

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 a

Are you trying to be the king of the internet or something? Why are you trying so hard to make this into something you apparently said a while back?

Cameron Ling said he has had a chat with MFC about coaching next year, and in the CONTEXT it was said it's a big deal.

The internet isn't a competition mate.

Just pointing out that this isn't news to the king of irrelevant replies

Surely MFC couldn't make any firm deal with him until we get a coach first. Perhaps the most it could be is 'would you be interested if our new coach asked'.

Alternatively we can start a rumour that the coach is already chosen.

Just a thought maybe the MFC know who they want as coach and could have a verbal agreement in place.

Now it's a matter of getting the required assistants.

Hey this is the MFC anything is possible.

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.

I agree and I know his credentials, although it would be completely idiotic to give the key midfield coaching role to someone who has NO coaching experience.

He was an excellent on field leader, by both influence and order. However with the situation the club is in we can not afford to place blind faith in someone without the coaching experience.

If the club is back to this position in three years time, I don't know how it will survive after these first two strikes under Bailey and Neeld.

I'm sure Ling himself would do a better job than Brian Royal, although Ling will be more suited as the Midfield Development Coach (1 under the Midfield Coach or his left hand man).

With the club going forward I want to see three experience heads as the Defensive, Midfield and Forward coaches. Then their assistants/ development coaches who can be your Lings, Kirks, Browns etc.

The development coaches (assistants to the Defensive, Midfield, and Forward coaches) should be young and enthusiastic (e.g. fresh from the game and well respected by all, like Ling).

These blokes will be fundamental for developing the players skills and instilling a culture with the right attitude to train hard, play hard, and never give in.

I can't imagine how getting Ling as an assistant would be a negative. He comes from a very successful club that knows what it takes to win and he is one of the hardest working players I've ever seen.

I would be stoked if we got him.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
