Cameron Ling for MFC 2014 Rumour

Featured Replies

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!

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.

Well you thought it inside your head a while back, but tonight Ling said it himself.

That kinda makes it news.


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....:)

U come out with some gems bb I'll give u that.

He said it long ago

Did he? Feel free to find that quote where he said he'd spoken to MFC then.....

Thought so.

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 have already pointed out what Ling said (on the same segment on before the game) before.

He is mentoring Trenners, saw him leaving club offices walking to training ground as already posted.

Not rocket science.

I think Ling would be great for the club. Just as long as he doesn't compare rebuilding a club to redesigning tomato sauce bottles.

I thought the head coach chose his assistants...

Maybe they already have chosen the head coach?


who wouldnt want ling as an assistant?

I think he likes the look of our red polos, prob thinking they'd go well with his hair colour ;)

Maybe poach Bluey McKenna?

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.

Maybe they already have chosen the head coach?

that's what i heard early last week.

Was told to wait 2 weeks....

Just passing it on....


I'd love Ling, Simpson, or Hayes to join the club.

If I was them I'd be very reticent to join the Melbourne Football Club. I'd understand if they erred on the side of caution.

Who's name was mentioned wyl?

No name was given RB apart from a big announcement in 2 weeks.

That was last monday..

 

Well, the guys who have been mentioned as possilbe assistants are all the sort who won't run from a challenge, so it's entirely plausible that they are considering joining the fun. It's shaping up to be a very interesting few months around Demonland.

True. They were all very courageous.

They were also good at decision making. Don't hold your breath.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
