Denis Pagan's manager Ron Joseph has confirmed that Denis has been sacked and an offical announcement will be made at a press conference at 2.00pm.

3 coaches gone with 6 rounds to play. Surely the pressure is on Essendon and the Kangaroos to make a decision about their respective coaches.

What was it you were saying about sacking a coach early in the week in the other thread Ash?

Chances of Sheedy being re-signed?

Is this what you meant :

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.

Geez, I'm not bad. I had actually forgot I said that.

As for Sheedy, I really don't know. I just hope we don't cave into the media pressure and make a decision based on a couple of losses. Surely we are showing a little more ticker than the Blues at the moment.

That's another club who will be vying with us for the best available coach in the land. It'll make the hunt interesting.

Sportsbet had Voss and Ratten as the prime candidates to take over at the Blues next year. Two od Demonland's preferred choices.

Reports are that either Ratten or Bradley will step in for the remainder of the season. Big opportunity for Brett.

When Pagan moved from the Roos to the Blues he was considered the best in the business. Any interest in Dennis taking the helm at the Dees?

well !!!!!

If your a coach in waiting....its certainly the year !!!! lol

Season aint over yet either..lol..

who's next ??

You would think that they would take Ratten on as there next coach. Shame really, I wanted him at the dee's.

What does everyone think about Pagan coming to the dee's.

He had a bad run at Carlton, but i hardly think its his fault with the draft penalties.

Pagan was shafted by the board who told him to go for youth 2 years into his contract. If they'd told him at the start I think they'd be a fair bit further up the ladder.

Hopefully Carlton continue the trend of winning the week after the coach is sacked/quits and lose their priority picks.

well !!!!!

Its like musical chairs !!!

And when the music stops you can all sit down........well almost!!!

Good for us draft-wise. The Blues had no hope of winning under Pagan and he was gone at year end anyway.

Now with a caretaker there's at least some chance they'll win - look at us and Freo. And if they win they lose pick 1.

One can only hope !

Pfffttt, what copycats.. the whole 'get rid of coach mid-season' was OUR thing. <_<

Two more sacked coaches down the track, it just doesn't seem so shocking.

That was my first thought. The next thought that sprung to mind was, would we take him? I still haven't decided. Lot's of pros and cons to consider.

He wouldn't be the worst choice, put it that way.

While I can't disagree with Carlton's decision to sack him, I also don't see any other coach doing better. The fact of the matter is, they are horrible, plain and simple. No other coach could do much better in the near future.

I think they'll take Voss. He is a good fit for them, as if he fails, the punters will blame the list, if he succeeds, he's a miracle worker.

MFC does not need either Pagan or Sheedy as next coach as theirs time has passed. We do not need a coach only for 1 - 3 years but we need someone with the potential of being a long time coach to build to a sustainable period of success around the core group of young players on our list. Brocky, Bater, Jonesey, Col Sylvia, Flash, Bell, Bartram, Petterd, Buckley, Frawley, Newton, 2007 draft pick. This group should be 10 year players.

On the other hand MFC can afford our prlonged lack of a premiership to go on much longer & so MFC does not have the luxury of ricking an experiment with an untried coach such as the likes of G Lyon, Voss or N Buckley. So means the choice has to come from other current or recent coaches or assiatants with proven record.

BTW Mark Riley's prospects will be extinguished rapidly if the tam puts in another insipid performance like yesterdays!

Why would you want to sack your coach when you're 2nd on the ladder?

just saw on news, replacement named tommorrow

Where have you been?

Play Saints, with no Fev could happen.

Wonder if all those in the media who savaged Melbourne over Neale Daniher are going to give Carlton a spray for sacking a coack one year and six games before his contract expires?

Its like musical chairs !!!

And when the music stops you can all sit down........well almost!!!

And now Denis will have plenty of time for dancing with his sister.
