Ling - I'll call it now

[SmothOperRaider]

Cam Ling to retire mid-season & take up place on coaching staff.

Will go down an all-time legend of the club.

 

[Ninty]

30 touches, 6 tackles and a goal not a good comeback game?

(I have not seen the game, FYI)

 

[Roadie]

Commentary team made a good point, we have to stop kicking it in front of him and start hitting him on the full.

Who did he play on chief? I know. Do you?
I reckon cam is coming to the end. But you are an idiot.

Go use google for the knowledge if you dont actually watch games.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Ling = stay

Mackie = off for season

 

[S for September]

Ling was one of our best mate, what game were you watching?

I thought he was the same old Ling as always and it was a great first up effort. I dunno - call it a hunch, but I just can't see him running the whole season out for some reason. They've really turned this into a young man's game.

(I'd love nothing more than this thread to be bumped the second he lifts the 2011 Premiership trophy BTW)

Sorry to intrude but I thought Lingy was brilliant tonight, beat Pav in one on one's a fair bit. Not an athlete by any stretch but most important he's very smart crafty footballer No doubt he will end up in the coaches box one day.

 

[Seb]

This thread is laughable.

Lingy embodies our never say die attitude and tonight was no exception. He added some real grunt around the stoppages and kicked a crucial goal early on.

He's only around here to troll, doesn't pay attention to the games clearly.

Ling did his job beautifully tonight.

 

[SmothOperRaider]

Jesus some of you kids are precious (esp VC, king of the keyboard tough guys). Please quote the part where I said he didn't play well tonight. He was great tonight and led us to one of our hardest fought win in years, given how easy some wins have been for us at times.

I'm just saying I think he won't make the journey this season. Calm down, jerkoffs.

 

[Turbocat]

Ling had his scratchy moments but he did more than most in what would have been hot conditions for the big red man. For him to snipe back he must have been tired cause he is more cluey than that.

I doubt he will be retiring before the end of the season , its not really his style.

 

[catman2006]

Not sure what game I was watching but Ling did a great number on Pavlich, kept him to 3 marks and 1 goal.

 

[Generalissimo]

Ditto for Tom Hawkins.

Jeez you can talk bigfella. Had a chance to watch the 2009 preliminary yet or is Hawkins still the devil?

I'm not trolling whatsoever. It's an honest call. But go and ask your mod buddies to card me anyway because I've hurt your feelings again

 

[JUBJUB]

Wasn't April Fools Day yesterday ?
Ling was very good tonight

Yeah Hawkins is in roaring form, but for some reason he's protected and Ling should be gone.
9 touches and 2 marks for Hawkins, yet the captain has 30 touches, 6 grabs, 6 tackles and a goal and is too far past it.
You really know your stuff champ.

I still don't think he should retire though. he may miss a few to rest him through mid to later part of the season but I think he should see the year out as long as his injury free

 

[True Blue Cat]

He played well. Yes he was outpaced but he has been his entire career.

I disagree. No he isn't fast but speed doesn't always define an athlete. His endurance is what he has relied on for his career and while he always looks exhausted he never seems to run out of energy.

Your reading comprehension leads a lot to be desired, bigman.

Just adds to the list of reasons I'm thankful I'm not you.

Never said I WANT Ling to go. Something just tells me that he WILL.

 

[Topper]

Ling - no, Mooney - yes


Ling's captain of the club, he'll see the season out and it will be his last.

Mooney, prob should and i think he will, general soreness after 1 game and no preseason games is a big worry

Based on what? He hasn't indicated anything like that.

 

[AWOL]

I wrote him off at the beginning of 07 to my brother. Don't I look silly now??
A true champion of the city, not just the club. (I'm not saying that you don't agree either...)

 

[Lach72]

Ling was good, largely as Pav doesn't have a defensive game

 

[CF]

Ling did a good job tonight so he should stay. hawkins should go though
