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

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Play Saints, with no Fev could happen.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
