There is also a similar story in The Age. I thought this interviewing was very revealing. Nick doesn't sugar coat his thoughts about DP. I thought the following was pretty interesting:

Quote:
In Kouta's book he wrote that Denis Pagan blamed he and you for trying to get rid of him. Was that fair?

I guess that he (Pagan) might have thought players were against him, but, as Kouta said, we stood up and said what we believed in at the time. It wasn't like we went into a meeting and said we want the coach sacked. We wanted a change in the environment in the way we needed things to happen, such as training.

How do you get along with Pagan away from football?

I have a lot of respect for Denis and what he's done in football. But there are probably times where we haven't got along well. He's one that will call it as he sees it and so am I.



and

Quote:
What is Brett Ratten like as your new coach?

Ratts is big on using the ball well - making sure you win it, then hang on to it rather than turning it over for the sake of kicking it long. More creative handball and more run. We need to run more as a side.



Also says some nice things about Barry Mitchell at the end of the interview.

I have to say after that interview I wouldn't be too disappointed if Nick was awarded the captaincy even though I am still leaning towards CJ.

Stevens deserve it,let Judd not carry the burden of everything.

I thought he even said he didn't want the title,just wanted to play footy and get the respect first from his team mate.

I don't understand us pushing him,remember he will be targeted by every club this year,let him take care of that and not give him all the extra work it probably cost us him with injuries and his performance,might not be to his best.

I didn't play that well, maybe got 18 touches, but I still got the three Brownlow votes because they were booing us both. The umpires must have thought it was me every time they heard a boo.


ROFL....shows what a farce the Brownlow is.

No doubt his rehabilitation has moved along nicely, however there still is a measure of uncertainty about his fitness. It's a serious injury which can end his career in a heartbeat. It's something that would have to be considered when weighing up his captaincy chances.
