Cameron Ling

[chapmanmagic35]

Credit where credit is due everyone....

He has copped a caning from some people on this forum, but I thought his job today on Embley was fantastic.

 

[The_Reaper]

Embley plays as a forward now, and once the eagles midfield got on top he kicked a few good goals

 

[Micksy]

OK.

But he did have 2 holding the ball decisions against him close to the eagles goal that resulted in easy conversions.

He was veeery slow.

When he did get the ball in the centre his kicks travelled further vertically than horizontally.

Love him, but he needs to do something. He won't last if he keeps the status quo.

Sprint training or rest is needed for the sunburnt rooster.

Sorry Chappymagic but I didn't think he was anything really really special.

He made some bad decisions and some shonky handballs and kicks. He was better than the last few weeks which is a good sign. He still was slow as a snail.

i think yer stuck in '04 CM35.

Anyone seen Embley's statistics???

Pretty good job if you ask me...

All because we are struggling, doesn't mean we have to take out 'no' positives...

you sure that wasnt woja, he is the only one in chapmanmagic35's eyes that gets caught with the ball and makes decisions. it surely couldnt be the great clubman.

yeah, but two damaging goals from outside 50m with no one near him, i guess lingy got caught napping and his superior pace just didnt kick in.

Ling was useless in my eyes. He looked slow, tired and uncoordinated against the eagles. He didn't look much different in previous weeks. Ling is rated highly. I think we can do better though. We should trade him off as trade bait. I think Geelong should investigate a direct swap to Carlton... Ling for that other slow nugget red head... Big Lance??!??@

 

[Stoney]

Lingy was fantastic - hold ya head up high. Embley gave them nothing except 2 long range goals.

I'm sure Andrew Embley would agree with myself and chapmanmagic35 here when i say Cameron Ling was one of Geelong's respectable performers.

i agree with devil cat...

Was at the game and thought he was quite ordinary.

The number of people yelling "Dont kick it to Ling" was incredible..

 

[fifth quarter]

remember they told him back then at the talent camps.... wear short shorts so ur legs look longr
he was pretty plump bak then i herd
quik over the ground hez never been

LOL, so TRUE!!

A heap of people around me were disgusted with Ling, especially that holding the ball decision, it was right in front of us..

He looked slow, indecisive and just a bit 'dorky'.

3 mistakes resulted in 3 goals to WC, 2 holding the ball decisions and one where (i think) he handballed it or something across the half back line and gave it to them cheaply, very disappointed in Ling, the cheap possession getter specialist.

I watched the game live on TV (in NSW) and seriously looking at Linga running; kicking the ball etc I do not believe that there is any other side in the AFL that we could trade him to.
I dont know what has happened to him but he has lost all athleticism and I very much doubt that we will see him in the AFL in a couple of years.
Maybe he spent too much time in the gym and it has stuffed him up.
I hope that he can turn it around somehow but you are what you are and his best days as a footballer are gone.

Must have been watching the last quarter and a bit, whoever named him in their best.

 

[ecleftic]

Unfortunately Ling is currently a huge liability. He needs a few vfl games.




Go CATS!!

i thort 5q's post woz raher amusin' schell!

 

[TheTimeCometh]

doesnt matter how many q's yer play for, the WCE got the points. whatever those players mustered in 1 and half was better than the cats. my lasting impression is of 'em walking off winnin' and grinnin', dunno bout you.
