This is not what YOU WANT, but what you think will happen...

Anything could happen...

I reckon the board wants Pagan gone and somebody apart from Mitchell as coach.

Based on their performance thus far, it means that this is therefore probably the only option we can rule out as actually happening ;)

Sadly,...........................I think Pagan will stay.

But, even more upsetting is that i think..............

Mitchell will go.
Sticks may go.
& Carlton continues to flood and we head further down this hole that we just cannot seem to get out of.

I was not at all happy with the way Carlton played this year - thought it was some of the worst football i have ever seen and i feel sorry for a few of the players actually.

A CHANGE IS NEEDED! - But i just don't see it happening, unfortunatly.

I am not a Pagan fan in any way, but if he is to stay then there better damn well be some change in the way we play our football. I expect a hell of alot more from somebody who's getting paid $600k+ per year!

Our players MUST take some of the blame, and i think they do take their fair share (and i honestly believe that our list is not the worst in the leauge!), but i cannot see the players saying to each other when we're 10 goals down "Let's all push forward.............we'll just flood em!"

A few matches that i have put myself through the pain of watching more than once this year are

St Kilda match (when only 4 goals were scored)
2nd half of Collingwood match (first one)
Sydney match (Rnd 22)

These matches are a clear indication that Pagan is either
a) Lost and Doesn't have a clue.
b) Needs some assistants with a new age feel for the game and can bring better ideas to the table.
c) Knows what he is doing, but just plain sucks at it!

If it's either a) or c) then he just has to go.

But if it's b) then Fine................leave him on and change assistants.

BUT THE JUST HAS TO BE CHANGES TO THE COACHING STAFF! THERE MUST BE OR ANOTHER PATHETIC YEAR WILL BE OUR FATE!

Last year, nothing was done. This year, we suffered the consequences. If you fail to prepare, Prepare To Fail!

in the 4 years that we have been at the bottom of the ladder, our neighbours have been the likes of Collingwood/Richmond/Bulldogs/Hawthorn
Where are they now?

2 of them are playing September footy.
1 of them just missed out (but always misses out anyway)
and the other had a real up & down season but has shown MASSIVE improvement and has won their last 4 in a row!

Something must be done..............................AND SOMETHING BETTER BE DONE!

If Pagan is to go:-

Coach
- Barry Mitchell (i'm a massive fan)

Assistants
- Terry Daniher (think he's capable of bringing some good ideas to a forward line of Fevola/Whitnall/Waite/Betts/Kennedy)
- Brett Ratten (would actually like to see him as Bullants coach too!)
- SOS (see what he's got)
- Dean (i can't be the only one who believes this guy is coaching material?)

If Pagan stays:-

Coach
- Denis Pagan

Assistants
- doesn't matter really..............it seems to be his way is the only way so who cares who is brought in.
