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.

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.

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!!

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 ?

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.

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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
