Re: Cameron Ling to retire
Thanks man. I'm not near a TV, radio or internet that allows streaming. Has there been any mention of who will be replacement captain mate?
Ling is an out and out champion.

Re: Cameron Ling to retire
Just removed a post speculating he'd make the announcement at the Carji Medal tomorrow.
What a wonderful way to go out. A good year form wise, culminating in a top performance in a premiership winning team.
Read somewhere where the club was attempting to talk Otto into going around again. No mention of Dash.
Balmy has said a couple of times that when the so called draft boot camp is out of the way the club will have discussions with those contemplating retirement.

Re: Cameron Ling to retire
Cameron Ling has formally announced his retirement.
Thanked the club for a wonderful 12 years was a boyhood dream to play for the Cat's the team he grew up supporting.
Was a bit emotional when saying goodbye to the boys the thing he is going to miss the most is just the relationships you build when training and playing with the guy's.
All the team were there to see the presser.
Lingy was thinking about retiring through the year but only came to the decision in the last few days. Decision made after a chat with CS on Sunday.
Finishes on 246 games 3x Premierships 1x AA
A combination of mental and physical factors made the decision still loves coming to work each day but it is the right time to move on.
Club has asked him what he wants to do in the future Lingy said he wants to have 12 months off but does want to be involved in the future

Re: Cameron Ling to retire
Think Ling wanted to get it out of the way so he can enjoy the Carji tomorrow with his mates. Fair enough. Wonderful career, love him.
Yeah if you listen to Cook on radio yesterday he didn't explicitly say that, but you did get the impression they'd like Otto to go on to help the young rucks. I think that's 50-50 at best though, if you listened to him interviewed today he sounded very much still wavering about what he's going to do and said he'll decide in the next couple of weeks.
Nah not yet. There's a process that needs to be gone through for the board and the leadership group to ratify the new captain, even though we all know it's 99.9 % certain it'll be Selwood. They'll announce it when that's been done.

Re: Cameron Ling to retire
Thanks to Linga for all his fantastic dedication and hard work over the journey. I hope he gets a gig on TV, he's a very personable guy.

I thought I read somewhere that Dash was being spoken to about going on another year

Re: Cameron Ling to retire
You could be right. Just haven't seen it. As Balmy has suggested I'm sure all will become clear when the dust settles. What with the celebrations, draft camp and the Carji tomorrow there's a bit occupying the minds of the powers that be at present.

Re: Cameron Ling to retire
Coulda probably gone on, but great to see a champ go out on a high.
Good on ya Lingy, Now to run for mayor.

Re: Cameron Ling to retire
I heard this and felt mixed emotions. I was baffled when i got the msg from my brother that he'd pulled the ping today. I was coming back from ther parade stage where i thought he'd mention it there. Anyway...
personally i'm a bit shattered as i love watching him play, he's so vital to the team with the rolls he plays and an inspirational leader. We all love Linga.
I feel good though knowing he went out on the best possible note. Playing one of his best games, skippering a Premiership side and even kicking the last goal. Bloody legend!!!!
I think i speak for all when i say We love ya Linga. Enjoy your roll with 7 next year. Show the others how it's done in the media!!

Re: Cameron Ling to retire
I also love the fact that I was looking right at him when the final siren went on Saturday. The smile on his face I will never forget. I quickly whipped out my camera and took a couple of snaps of him... they turned out pretty crappy but ill be sure to keep them

Memories last a lifetime- the blood swiping episode with Buckley in the early 2000s sticks in my mind as we farewell Linga. mmmm what happened after that- Ling went on to win 3 flags, Buckley NONE, one owns half of Geelong and the other assisted to knife Malthouse and now coaches,,,errr,,,you know the rest. Linga, forever the star!!!
