Pagan had North in the finals for 12 consecutive seasons and won two flags, at a club with no money, bugger all members and crap facilities, yet he somehow lost all his ability as a leader of men the minute he walked in the door at Princes Park.
Odd, to say the very least.
I've had a gutfull of sacking coaches and looking for the next quick fix, it's got nothing to do with Malthouse in fact I've never particularly liked the bloke.
If we sack Malthouse we're officially a basket case, beyond help.

With old coaches, especially Pagan, the game passes them by. By the time he got to us he was trying to play a by-gone game plan. He was still running 30 interchanges when everyone else was running 100. As for Mick, why play so many behind the ball and have such a negative game plan when he's seen time and again we do better when we are allowed to get numbers forward and run, as happened late last year. Not mention other games previous years where we've been a mile behind where he's changed the played, allowed us to run and we've fought back quickly. When he coaches like that he does a good job but why no do it all the time if you're a smart coach. Terrible last night to see players run to the middle and have no-one there or ahead of them to pass to by hand or foot. A coach worth his weight in salt coaches a side to their strengths, not their weaknesses. It why Ratten did well. While it wasn't totally flawless he coached the side to their strengths and got results from not necessarily a brilliant list. He was stiff to be chopped if you want to talk about changing coaches.
