Why Why Why Denis?
I almost choked on my Weetbix this morning when I was scouring my RSS Feeds and the headline “Refreshed and ready to coach an AFL side again at 60″ appeared and Denis Pagan’s picture inserted. Why does he want to go through it all over again? Well once a coach always a coach I guess and Denis sees himself as a career coach. You would have thought his experiences and Carlton, who sacked him with 6 rounds to go in the season, and he admitted that he was probably a “dead man walking” for the last 2 years, were enough to turn him off, apparently not. He described his time at Carlton as “a nightmare a minute”. There is some inspiration right there on why you would want to do it again!
He seems to have begun his campaign to return to the coaching gig and is warning the AFL that the Y Generation of coaches that have bee touted as candidates for the new teams, mainly Michael Voss, would be a huge risk “Gee, I’ll tell you what, you’d want to make sure you put an experienced coach in those two positions,”, just trying to throw himself up there in the eyes of the AFL I think and make sure they know he is still around.
I reckon a Y Generation (as he put it) would be great, new face, new ideas, different game styles. Provided they had some experienced support around them. It would be great to see a Michael Voss or a Nathan Buckley take on the challenge, just not Jason Akermanis. Get some fresh faces in there I say. Denis my advise to you stick to your new business venture at Teams at Their Best.
What do you think, Is Denis past it and do we need to see some fresh faces in the coaches box?

bah! Give it up Dennis!!
The problem with coaches like Dennis and Sheedy is that they are so out of touch. I have heard rumours of Dennis and his players having words over playing style and Sheedy was the same, playing an out dated game style. Best thing that has happened to Carlton and Essendon was getting rid of their coaches last year.
btw I signed up for his new website as its a rival to mine.
