Ling is out

Featured Replies

Posted

Cameron Ling is out of race.. It gets more interesting now.

 

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!!

A fat contract. This stuff doesn't happen oever night.

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? :-) :-)

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
