Not at all. Pagan coached North Melbourne the most celebrated loved and successful team in AFL history and also coached Wayne Carey who is without the doubt the greatest AFL player ever!
The mighty blues treated denis like crap,signed him good good draft picks and other players and he didn't get any. How he put up with the years he coached there it would have driven him mad like it did me after what happened to the blues
Staggers me how boards want to move on coaches who have basically coached a Dynasty. They think they’re rejuvenating the club for a new tilt of more of the same but are then rubbish for the following decades. Think Chicago Bulls getting rid of Phil Jackson & Jordan, North getting rid of Pagan. Both clubs garbage since. It’s often the ego of those in charge that’s responsible for the change and the need to exert authority and influence over what is a dominant figure of the club.
How is it tragic? Hes rich, and wanted to keep working like a lot of AFL players do when they are retire. What a bizzare comment. You must be brain dead
Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Met him down in Hobart in 2015 at the Salamanca markets at a local cafe. Tried to cut the line in front of me. Total flog.
