I don't want Ling yet, as good a player as he was, he needs to develop as a coach.
Look at Voss, great player but his pigheadedness as a coach, go hard or go home attitude, just cost him his job and Brisbane 5 players. He would have done better to do an apprenticeship and see what its like when the chips are down and you have to figure out whats wrong and fix it a few times.
I want Ling in 3-5 years time. I would rather Gary Ayres if he's not too old, Mark Harvey or Dean Laidley if he still wants to be a senior coach.
I also do NOT want any ex richmond player, not Cambo, not Knighter, not Bartlett. They all seem to end up in too many feuds during their time at the club. Fresh start no old history.
