Pagan Gone


Guest Peter Griffin

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

Sheeds to leave Essendon BUT will get a job with Andrew Demetriou. He has super footy knowledge

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

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!

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

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.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
