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.

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? :-) :-)

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
