Oppo Camp 2014 non-Geelong AFL match and general discussion

There's an article on Lingy on the AFL website in which he says he didn't think he wanted to sit in front of a computer for hours and hours, going through edits- ie a senior coaching job. Assistant coaching wouldn't be so bad. Roos is looking for someone to be a coach (I think) in 2016.

 

[you pick one]

My take on Ling and coaching is yes I reckon he can turn his hand to coaching and be very good at it,he also has a very good business brain which is evident by the way he set up his finances while still playing,my gut feeling is he will eventually take some sort of a paid position in the AFL ranks but not as a full time club coach,If his business obligations allow the time mid field coach at the Cats would be nice,could he become a successor to Balme down the track?

And with him goes most of my discussion material in the Supercoach sub forum. So many double/triple entendres... gone
Goodnight sweet prince.

Was asleep around the time Roos came on.

Can understand that. Roos isn't the most exciting coach.

Caro had a go at the AFL for potentially changing the father/son rule.

Seen this one the main board.

CARLTON will tomorrow announce current Adelaide chief executive Steven Trigg as their new chief executive.

Yep! We know "T", we know.

Haven't yet read the article but thought a comment by Ling when asked what would be gained experience wise by taking an assistants role at Geelong he suggested quite a lot as he'd only played under CS for one year. Maybe, if he does go down the coaching path, we aren't out of the chase. Would love him to take over the mids.

That said, much easier gig doing the telly work and much better paid you'd imagine. I'd stick with that if I was him.

A weekend at Gazzas

In view of the fact that you are now retired and waddling around that mansion wondering how to fill in the hours, you would be the perfect host I would have thought.

Wouldn't mind at all if he took THunt and Guthrie under his wing and gave them some tips on tagging as well

Much ado about nothing....
The game's at the G

Edit: I see by a later post that this has already been discovered. Sorry.

Even though it is at the 'G' it would be a big ask for a player still on his break to fly back from, say, Bali just to sit in the stand on a cold Melbourne winters day. A well wishing text would suffice I would have thought. A bottle of Red from those who knew him particularly well perhaps.

Well done Pods. Have a good one.

As if he'd be reading BF.

Steven Trigg to Carlton; is there a more natural fit in sport?!?

 

[BotsMaster]

Crows fans wanted Trigg gone. So why would Carlton pick him up?

They're cheats so they recognized him as one of their own.
While we talking about cheats... Now that Hird is back in the country is he holed up at the Ecuador Embassy?

Maybe he was the steak knives in a deal to lure Dangerfield

The o great one at Essendon has landed back in the country I see.... Surely the bombers tell him to stay away until the year is done with, the bomber fans are excited and seem to think it will gel the team, I can't see it being anything more than a distraction and circus.

I'll laugh if they chuck out a 2 time premierhsip coach for the golden boy... who presided over a drug cheating program... and hasn't achieved anything as a coach... truly staggering

[darren forssman]

Mate.
If you don't like essendon, you want him back into the fold.

A few years of failure and their history will be clouded for 50 years.

I can't stand them... would laugh my arse off if they brought the golden boy back this year, bomber cracked the shits and walked and then then they struggled... add whatever may come from the ASADA stuff..

Also on that have to laugh at the bomber fans theory the show cause notices are a bluff... ASADA had a retired judge look over the case before doing anything and certainly can't afford to end up with egg on their faces after all this by having no case

Look, I've never liked them
And I certainly don't want them to die. But slow torture would be ok by me.

never hated Essendon myself. Even after all this s**t hit the ceiling, have never been interested in it whatsoever. Been bloody annoying how much time has been consumed into it by the media instead of focusing on what's happening on the footy field.

Collingwood & Hawthorn I wouldn't mind seeing get rabies and subsequently shot but that's just me.
