Yep, good honest piece. Well done.
Gotta love Denis, he may not look the best in his press conferences, but he delivers every single time.

What the coach says: "It's been (a) disappointing (season), it has to be. You can't finish on the bottom and think other than that. The reality is we are three years through a five-year sentence. I think the club's done pretty well from the scenario they're in, but it hasn’t made any impact yet. I can tell you that in a previous life, sometimes I was in automatic pilot and people would be patting me on the back saying - 'you're a champion' - and all I was doing was having a latte and watching the footy. Then we get beaten by nine goals and people say - 'you're a moron, Pagan'. I know in my own mind what we've done. We know where we are. I don't need to discuss it with anybody else because, at the end of the day, nobody wants to talk about losses - they only want to see wins. I accept that. I'm a big boy." - Carlton coach Denis Pagan ahead of the Blues Round 22 match against the Kangaroos.
