Could Pagan coach this side (in his prime)and would they improve?

[Rooscals]

Do you think Denis Pagan could do something with this team in his younger years?

Carey said Pagan 'broke some guys but made many more'

He would be reported to H.R for hurting this groups feelings.

 

[Cyber_punk]

I have actually thought more than a handful of times how previous coaches would fare in the current era.

Tactically Dani Laidley did pretty well for a while and did alright with a far less talented list.

 

[Only Forwards]

There would be significantly less backwards steps that’s for sure.

Would we win who knows

 

[Passmore]

Not sure anyone anywhere would cop the abuse anymore. Same with Barassi.

Fantastic in different times. Wouldn't mind time travelling back for a week or 2.

Dani Laidley was a very good tactical coach. One of the best we have had.

 

[Elite Master]

Dani Laidley never coached us. Dean did.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Yep

 

[Gasometer]

Hard to say

If we are saying Denis of 96 using that eras tactics we would be no better off.

I dare anyone to go back and watch the last quarter of the 94 Preliminary

We would not have lost that game in those dying moments had we have iced it using todays strategy.

I reckon we are at 1991 equivalent in the rebuild.

Lots of promising young talent but a handful of older blokes burnt by years of underperforming results who won’t make the next era

I’m rambling now

In short, not right now

The players are still petrified of him it seems.

The name in the stat books is now Dani Laidley. That's how this works.

Let's respect her choices by not deadnaming. She hasn't live two separate lives. Dani Laidley was not born in the last decade.

 

[zoomba23]

I think the better question is, 'would current North beat 2016 Essendon?' That would be the cripple fight to end all cripple fights

 

[Val Keating]

**** no. They couldn’t even handle Noble

So does that mean that she’s the first ever woman to win a premiership in the AFL?

 

[Val Keating]

And the first female coach.

That is a real insult to our memory and intelligence. The stat books is nothing more than revisionist history generated by modern day WOKE ideology The fact is everyone called him Dean Laidley back when he coached us and so did Dean himself, we all know this to be true. Go back and read any article by the press from the early 2000's and it will say: "Coach of the Kangaroos Dean Laidely".

We can call her Dani Laidley now given that is what her identity is and has been for the last 5 or 6 years, (which has also been officially and legally enforced with regards to the name change), but lets not pretend that she was always Dani and that she was always a "she" because "she" wasn't.

North 2016 barely beat them (14 points). This side would get wiped.

That’s what I always thought. Do you know if the records show that Bruce Jenner or Caitlyn Jenner won a gold medal at the Olympics?

Smoke meth, snap your brain in two and your name in the history books changes.

“That’s how it works”.

That side was famously fickle against teams it should've beaten, though. I think it'd be quite a clash

For me this game was the beginning of the run of crap right up to yesterday

 

[muttley45]

I still reckon his team rule of no U turns would stand up in todays game, also instant push up's for skill errors at training wouldn't hurt either.

 

[Limerick]

Hi Rooscals, I think the real question is there a coach out there who could get the best out of our list by providing a successful game plan that they can handle.

We have had some success in the past when Pagan took over from Schimmelbush in 1993. Just need to identify the next pagan if we end with 3 wins or less

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Pagan's head would inevitably explode after watching the combination of multiple players refusing to kick on their non-preferred foot and the sheer lack of defensive effort and intent.
