SOS has shown he has got a footy brain at Sydney and now the doggies, dont write the idea off
Silvagni has a communication problem - he is not a gifted public speaker, he cannot express his ideas succinctly or with any inspiration (and please dont give me that "speech at 3/4 time in the 99 Preliminary Final" as an example).
We dont need Teddy Whitten type "you've got to inspire me" type speeches from our coaches.
We need vision and long term plans to resurrect this football club from the abyss of:
- poor player development
- poor player training facilities
- lack of scientific approach when it comes to developing player training programs
We need to be bought into the 21st Century.
You cant get by anymore with getting a Jezza to fill the breach mid-season and bring you from bottom place to a spot in the finals in the course of one season - those irons in the fire dont exist in the AFL anymore.
We need to think outside the square - like I have said elsewhere is it Ric Charlesworth type who would be a Director of Football with all elements of Football Operations (including Match Day Coach) answerable to him, I dont know, but what I do know its better than what we have been doing for the past 4 years.
Pagan was a great man and coach for his time and I have been the first one to sing his praises and have said give the man time - just check all my posts here and at the other place over the past 3 years. But I have realised that his time is up.
I should have realised at the Family Day back in 2002 after Black Friday when Pagan stood in front of an adoring throng and promised us "FINALS ACTION" in 2003. Maybe he didnt realise the enormity of the task or how shit we were. He may realise it now - but its too little too late.
TIME FOR SOMEONE NEW.
1000 people in for $1000 - PAGAN OUT
You will be bigger heroes and leave a more lasting legacy than the "CARLTON HEROES STAND" every will.
I am dead serious.
