    Sunday probably scared him off!

    Ling has told both Melbourne and Geelong that he plans to retain his commentary duties with the Seven Network for at least the next two years

    Ok forget him

    No idea who else we may bring in

    He was never serious. Just keeping his name in the media circus relevant. Good timing to finally come clean after keeping the story bubbling for a year.

    Who was the last successful coach to be plucked from the media? Can think of a lot of failures and a couple of "[censored]-teasers" (G.Lyon and now Ling) only.

    What happened to all the know alls that said he was going to be named within the short term?

    Exactly dd

    You will not hear a word from them over the next few days.

    Don't hold your breath for a "Well I got that wrong"

    To be perfectly honest I was in no rush for him to join.

    Could never see what he was bringing to the table besides no experience.

    Gia from the Bulldogs might be an option. Retires the end of the year and has made it clear he wants to coach. Two year apprenticeship under Roos would be ideal.

    Pity, seems like a good bloke. Will now only make comment like a lot of other tossers, Gary, Dermott, Gerard ....who never had the courage to sit in the drivers seat but are happy to pass their wisdom on to those who do.

    A couple of years will be too late for him as the game will have long passed him by.

    I'm surprised by this decision, I think he would make a great coach

    Obviously has it too easy in the media and a lot of outside interests

    Happy that one is out of the way. We did not need a half committed Ling as our heir apparent coach. If he was interested in coaching he would already be into it full time.

    Already a thread on this Timmy.

    Sorry completely missed that one.

    Mods please close.

    Appears to be respected and very well liked, could work.

    i find his timing just after our worst defeat of the year for his announcement quite interesting. I wonder what prompted him to make the announcement now??

    WHy did we want someone who wasn't fully committed ? He said he had doubts he had the desire to do all the work. Go for one that does!!

    Good IMO, didn't reckon he had it in him

    Yeah I agree, I don't think Cam Ling is the answer to our problems.

    Ling is far too green, will be for some time.

    He may have been touted on Demonland as heir apparent but Roos quashed that fairly early in the piece.

    As to half committed ?? He was taking his time to decide what he wanted to do - I think the noises he made about deciding on coaching were fairly similar to someone else - Paul Roos ?

    All that red hair makes him too green? :-) :-)

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
