Looks like he's been reading TC forum. Was really defensive.

Must say another uninspiring performance, compare to Sheedy's "we're coming to get you" edict. I get more inspird watching grass grow. When are we going to get some inspiration to this club so we get more than 18k to games?

for starters 18k for a team that has finished bottom for 4 years is ok, not good but not bad.

Sheedy keeps backing himself into a corner, first it was the basketball comment and on friday he could not throw players to stem the onslaught and now has come out and said they going after every young player out of contract. What happens if they dont land a young uncontracted kid, should he be to blame.

At least Sheedy is putting it out there - this is the sort of stuff we used to do as a club. BB, do you honestly believe 18k is acceptable for a home crowd?

lol. yeah under elliot...

when we were flying in 1999 and 2000, a game against Port at PP would have got a crowd of 20k if that

18k aint that bad for a team that has finished bottom 4 years..... if we were fighting for a top 4 spot or even in the eight and we got a crowd of 18k then i would say its unacceptable

but we are second last, showing no signs of improvement, finished bottom 3 years now what do you expect

I would expect a few members did what I did today and played golf.

ehhh... can anyone post what pagan actually said?

The interesting part was when Rohan Connelly brought up the 'Carlton supporters aren't happy that you are playing Prenda, Teague, Wiggo instead of kids'. Got really defensive, although did raise good point that you couldn't give up on someone like Wiggo at 23 (therefore inferring you couldn't give up on these guys yet, they are still young and can improve). Then rambled about how you can't ignore VFL form and used Sporn as an example where he averaged 25 touches over 5 weeks. In the same breadth he acknowledged there was quite a step up from VFL to AFL. He kept going to talk about JK and how there was no point in keeping him in the seniors where he could lose confidence and that it was much better that he went back, kicked a few goals and played in a winning team. He was fully prepared for this line of questioning.

My guess as I have stated in another thread (and taking Sticks' comments into account) is that the 'duds' have 3 weeks to survive and Pagan is trying to show as much faith in them as possible. Basically he's trying to squeeze blood from a stone (maybe, just maybe Wiggo the exception)

We Will discuss through the week

We know where we are at

I' asked the players and they came up with the same answers as we did

We need bigger bodies

we are taking small steps

we have been compeitive in most quarters

Oh, that's a newie



Hang on, wasn't it 3 years into a 4 year sentence not so long ago? Maybe we should give Denis a 10 year contract.

SB, are you his scriptwriter??

This was the majority of the press conference, same old, same old. But it was good to see Connelley (even being a supporter of the scum) putting it to him.
