I think you're the one struggling for an idea. No clue at all. You're a dreamer. You can't seem to work out where the real problem is. Run out who we like next year, if we still have Pagan as coach it will be like shuffling deck-chairs on the Titanic. List-wise, forward-line is great, when they're not injured, midfield is ok when they're not played as defenders, defence needs some work. If the players don't play with any committment doesn't matter who plays, we'll probably lose nearly every game like we did under Walls in 1989 when he lost the players.

To me, change the coach as quickly as possible. Can't believe people voted to keep Pagan on in this poll. They really must get off on losing, or at least really great gluttons for punishment.

sorry jim but i think your the one who's struggling for an idea yes our list has improved over the past 3 years but all the improvement has come from teenagers. reality is teenagers cant really have a massive impact on the outcome of a game but in 3, 4 years time when all of them are in their early 20's then we should be judging pagan.

My god some of you have no idea......... we have had the worst list for the past 3 years. Now we are starting to see some signs of the talent we got coming through but we got no depth. So why blame a coach that has nothing but a hand full to work with. like i said next year we will see the baby blues run out and no longer the likes of Prenda, Sporn, Banno, Chambers, Teague and Longmuir

SB,

I voted to keep him because it asked whether he should be replaced at mid season. I agree Pagan is not the coach for us but I was thinking were the hell is the money going to come from to pay him out?
The people whose intelligence I would question would be those that voted to get rid of him mid season. Unless they can tell me how we can afford to pay him out whilst our incompetent board begs the AFL for money? Care to enlighten me SB?

Why would you even start this poll? Seriously? Just really proves how much of a supporter you really are.

No way should we change coach mid season. If we do, we are a lower team than I thought. Every week some coach is under pressure and they have to face the same shit that Pagan seems to be doind week after week. Like this week, Thompson moving Mooney to the back. Stupid and now he's job is on the line?

Barry Mitchell is a great coach for the young guys. That's why he works with the Bullants. I listened to him on Saturday and he was so calm with them and he throws in the odd joke. The young guys respect him.

Just like the older guys respect Pagan. Though they don't show it half the time, they still respect him. You don't say "Pagan has to go" when we lose alot of games, think of Sheedy.

I voted no. Reason is, you don't switch coaches mid year. It's just stupid. Maybe what needs to happen is Barry could give em a bit of a train during the week. But he does not need to take over as coach.

Sydney did it with Paul Roos and look what happened to them

PS Rodney Eade was supposed to have the respect of his players then to

Sydney is funded by the AFL, we are in the process of being funded by the AFL. Once the AFL deal is completed do it but only at the end of a season

Uncommitted huh?

Yep, I can see the logic. Let's say I am a 22 to 23 year old player who hasn't set the world on fire. Then I get a chance in the seniors. I could go and try my guts out to show that I am capable at AFL level. Then, maybe someone else would be interested in me, or I could continue playing with the Blues for over $100K a year. But no - I have a stroke of genius How about playing like a dud? That way, I don't have to play under Pagan, and can play under Mitchell in the VFL. I can even play in a VFL premiership. Sure, it will cost me $2,200 in match payments each week, but what the hell. Over 4 years, this sneaky campaign by a bunch of strugglers might even see Pagan unseated. Oh joy Pity then that I won't get a chance to play under the new coach, because London to a brick the Board will demand that the new coach plays the young recruits. And with the upcoming superdraft, it's almost inevitable that I'll be delisted. But that's when my plan really blossoms. I tell all the recruiting managers that I was tanking because I didn't want the coach. I'm sure that there'll be plenty of clubs willing to take a chance on an apparently dud player from a bottom team who deliberately plays under his best if he feels like it. It worked well with LA, Karl, Cupido and Begley, so it should work for me too.

Now, of the senior boys, I can't see how many of them could be playing all that much better. Fev and Lance are having great years. Barney is in the wars but trying, and the same with Lappin. Scotland is playing well. Kouta is on last legs.

And the youngsters just want to play regardless. They haven't had a major opportunity, and I doubt if they'd tank to change the coach.

Yep, we'd be absolute champions if only they'd change the coach
