Geelong names Cameron Ling as captain
thoughts? Right or Wrong choice?

I think Selwood would have been a better choice but I'm sure ling will do a good job.

Selwood would have been my choice!

Geelong's improvement has to come from the kids of which Selwood is the stand out. Ling would have been an excellent vice captain to Selwood providing support and direction.

I think Ling is a great choice, heaps of experience, he is an absolute work-horse (ugly as one as well) and its a reward for all his hard work, a bit of recognition for him, that'll keep him going hard for a bit longer i think

Simon you are an idiot! Ling deserves it so much more than Selwood. All you need to do is open your eyes and watch the fanta pants play. He leads from the front putting his body on the line all the time. Selwood is a glamour player who hangs off packs not a leader. Im finding it very hard to think of a good captain in the past who doesn't have the same attitude on the field as Ling

Chris, Selwood is one of the hardest players in the competition who always sticks his head over the ball. To suggest he is a "glamour player who hangs off packs" is ludiChris. Perhaps some of the Dockers should watch how he goes about it and just try to emulate him. Then they may eventually be seen a real club and not the joke of the competition

Selwood a glamour player who hangs off the packs???? Congratulations, you have just set the 2010 benchmark for the most ill informed statement of the year. If this is indicative of Freo supporter's football observations then it's no wonder they stand and applaud at home games when the dockers come off the ground after being beaten by 8 goals!

who cares i think they have got a slightly bigger issue now a cocaine drug trafficker. Oh well a few players who had a few too many drinks is trivial now Given alcohol is a legal substance, LOL, Enjoy the media attention GEELONG ha ha ha, people should get to know their own club b4 commenting on others.......

You gotta admit though, Geelong administration handled the situation better than any other team has in ANY similar situation.

The first I heard of it was that the Cats had contact the AFL and the media before the media beat up started. When you look at the Blues, the media let it out before Carlton did and (I have no doubt) the situation was made to look a lot worse than it probably was!

That being said, Stokes should cop the book for his actions! it has been such a big thing in both the AFL and the NRL in the past few years that any player who gets involved is an idiot and deserves what they get.

Sandra,

Considering it was a Carlton player involved with Jason Moran doing cocaine that resulted in a table top dancer being threaten with her life, I hardly think your comment is valid. Going to make up some more lies??? How about you once drank so much alcohol, you passed out, vomited and suffered hypoxia, resulting in some brain cell death???

Bahaha - have a listen to it. This is from the nutter who wrote: ".. it is time for all AFL fans 2 unite which ever team u support and stop the media running around and possibly even stalking players..".

Who, in the same post wrote in regard to Fevola's Crown incident: "..and i know that he did not behave on the night. But once again how did we get all the 3/4 stories from the MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP purchasing News Papers and watching the TV news until the media clean up their actions as well....... Send the message we are all fed up with gossip!!!!!!

Fed up with media gossip are you? Ah, I see, only when it's about the bluesers. When it's about any other club you're right on board ready to use media labels like 'cocaine drug trafficker'. Bahahaha, what a joke.

Ready for the papers tomorrow? Here's the probable back page: "Carlton scared of the rain". The scheduled intra club practice match cancelled because it was raining! Bahahaha. F^ck the members and supporters who came to support us, it's too wet! Let's go the pub instead. What a pathetic club.
