    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? :-) :-)

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
