NORTH Melbourne has put its hat in the ring to snare former Geelong skipper Cameron Ling in a full-time coaching role next year, Roos coach Brad Scott says.

Why?

If he demanded the opposite of what he wanted, it is likely he'd be a huge success at Richmond  ;D

Can anyone tell me why Micky o isn't discussed in coaching terms

He sounds like he has a good footy brain and comes from good stock

Think he might be what we need to actually develop a descent indigenous player for once

Ling unsure if coaching is for him
Peter Ryan 
July 21, 2014


THE MUCH sought-after Cameron Ling is unsure whether coaching is for him.

Ling, the former Geelong captain who is fielding a range of coaching offers from AFL clubs, says he doesn't have "a super unbridled passion for coaching" and is doubtful whether he is suited to some aspects of the job.

He told radio 3AW on the weekend those doubts made him question whether he wanted to enter the coaching world.

Melbourne officials sounded out Ling last week over the club's senior assistant coaching position for next season, and North Melbourne and Richmond are also keen on winning his services.

Ling said he could see the positives and negatives of coaching.

"There is a big strain on your time, and that is with any job, so I'm not trying to make excuses here," he said. 

"Is it something that is 20 hours a week sitting on a computer just staring at a screen looking at edits and games and everything like that, and 20 hours of working with players and communicating, or is it five hours of sitting in front of a computer and the rest is working with players?

"I'm not one who loves just sitting there in front of a computer screen watching and re-watching and fast forwarding and [looking at] different camera angles."

But Ling said he was excited and motivated by the prospect of working with young people and "helping them to improve, teaching them a little bit about the game [and] hopefully achieving something special together".

Hard to argue with this post after reading the interview with him.
