Rumour gathering speed that he will be gone by the end of the day.

    I think the rumours are wishful thinking of Carlton supporters who are becoming desperate to get in the coaching merry-go-round with Melbourne and Freo.

    hope this is just speculation from carlton fans

    we do not need carlton chiming in and interfering our hunt for a coach

    I heard there was a hoax email sent out earlier today relating to Pagan getting sacked today.

    SEN even sent someone down to Optarse Oval to investigate but Carlton denied it.

    I must admit, it would be a strange time to sack him, the Friday before a game. Surely a sacking is best done earlier in the week.

    ash, do you think sheeds will be back at windy hill next year? do you think he'd like a fresh challenge? or simply retire if he doesnt get the gig again?

    I think that it might be a good thing at least he knows how to build a list and get a flag every now and again.

    Remember we havent won since 64.

    l have been told from some one with in carlton that pagon will be SACKED .

    with in the next three weeks and Voss will take over .

    at the blues he cant fail

    he could still fail at the demons or the dockers with both teams still good to go in the top 8 next year.

    if he makes carlton get in next year he has had a win if not well they are in bad shape any way .

    lets see if my fly on the wall is right within the next three weeks

    Sheedy would be good in a football development role. Do the AFL already have someone?

    if roos sack laidley , the roos will crash n burn

    I'm sure they'd welcome back Pagan

    Like Mark Twain rumours of Pagan's demise are greatly exaggerated.

    In any event, I don't believe that Carlton would entertain sacking Pagan before the end of the season because, as history has shown time and time again, teams always win the week after they replace a coach. Now, that's the last thing Carlton wants to happen this year! :lol:

    Quick question for the better informed........

    Is Pagen actually contracted to the Blues for next year?

    believe he does have one more year on his contract.

    But with Mr Pratt as President finding a spare half a mil isn't as hard as it used to be

    Fair enough, thanks kieranbj :) !!!

    The Roos are sitting outright second and you think they will sack the coach? :lol:

    Pagan has been dead in the water from some time.

    Who knows......they sack the coach, win the next game and lose a priority pick!

    Nah not even Carlton could do that. :angry: They will probably sack Dennis after the final round when he wins them the last game of the year!

    To DS's defence the club itself is unwilling to extend his contract atm, and that's never a good sign when a coach is in his last year. There have been a couple of rumours floating around that they want someone else to coach them.

    Given the Club has gone through a gut wrenching battle over relocation, its no wonder they have not opened up these discussions.

    They may prefer other coaches and may wish for Laidley to leave of his own accord.

    But they are sitting outright second and exceeded all expectations of them.

    Given their financial peril is tighter than ours which coaches would they be after?

    I am not sure North would want Pagan and I am not sure what Pagan brings to North given he went to Carlton to ironically escape the financial constraints of North. There's no Carey at North now to build a team around.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
