I cant believe there are votes for yes.
He has been instructed to play youth otherwise Teague Bannister and Saddington would be in by now.
He still plays Fevola one against three and then comes out and says he should look at Johnno Brown and be like him. I wonder how Fev would have gone last night playing against an Irishmen who is still learning the game and has 16 games under his belt - Gees a FF with 26 possessions - Fevola would have got 100 and kicked 15 with the same match up.
He stifles the youth by giving them set task and tagging roles each week - Once every now and again is ok but every bloody game come on
He constantly high lights the positives in the opposition and points out the negatives in his own team.
The sooner this flower is gone the better
I am losing interest in a club I have followed all my life very quickly
As I'm repeatedly belted around the head with: where is your evidence on some of these points?
As for the other stuff, the Fev/Brown effort was in relation to Fev's efforts with the umpires. The rest is called constructive criticism. Geez.
Sydney you have a point to say Pagan could be getting stale, but you never have anything to back it up, neither does anyone else.
The staunchest anti-Pagan people rabbit on about the same points and never address them in detail. I liken it to propaganda and it's why I do my best to bite my tongue in regards to coaching discussions.
I don't doubt some of these people get legitimate info on the club, but there's nothing to say that what they're hearing isn't laced with personal agenda, or even second-hand for that matter. All it takes is one person somewhere down the line.
Chinese whispers.
Hey Jimmae - Happy with the gameplan Pagan took in on Saturday night were you - exciting stuff was it - a good old fashion shoot out - the crowd loved - sure we lost in the end but what the heck it was exciting .
It took old DP hours of stategic meetings to employ this plan .
Tell me how you loved his tactics on Saturday night Jimmae - tell what a masterstroke it was that nearly came off - If Fev hadn't , if those three didn't , If Jackson hadn't - IF- If If but will learn from that but the question Jimmae is will he
I was impressed with the fluency of our play when in possession; I was impressed with how we rotated the forward structures and had multiple goal kickers; I was impressed with the way we defended kickouts; I was impressed with the ability to stifle most of Brisbane's efforts to kick into their 50 down the corridor; I was impressed that we were still in the game despite crucial umpiring decisions usually falling Brisbane's way.
Both teams went for the shootout, and Brisbane, who have proven to be a much better side than they were touted to be at the beginning of the pre-season, got over the line by a couple of goals. I'd say they were very lucky.
I'd say the biggest killer for us on the night, having watched the game at the ground, were how one way or another, whether it be through a sloppy entry into the f50, or a brain fade by the forward, we coughed up a lot of turnovers between 35 and 50 m from goal that were essentially two-goal turnarounds.
I can go further into it, but
if a slight lift in composure by the team was the key thing that separated us from a victory, I'm pretty satisfied because that comes with time spent reinforcing different tactics & strategies that work for our side.
Forget this talk about Judd and drafting, when did employing tactics suddenly become a plug and play process?
I yearn for the days 3 years from now when it's about 10 players on the list learning the systems in the ressies, and maybe one or two in the senior side. Not 3/4 of the bloody list.
Pagan might not be around then but the next coach will be thanking his lucky stars he wasn't developing a team all at once.
