Demetriou should be shot for changing that PP rule because we need talent more than any other side with Kouta, French and Lappin all ageing players. And so called Carlton supporters have the temerity to say Elliott wouldn't have let Demetriou hit us on Black Friday. That **************** with Parkin and Brittain are responsible for this situation not Denis.
That's my knee jerk post.

I'm afraid the buck has to stop with Pagan this year. No more hiding behind excuses. I understand only too well the challenges he faced when he came to the club, but that doesn't make him immune to criticism. Sure, he didn't create the salary cap issues, nor did he overpay our senior players, but let's look at some of the repercussions that have occured on Pagan's watch:
- Only 5 minutes after he arrived, our b&f winner, McKernan became a dud. As did Beaumont, Murphy and a few other lesser players.
- Then within the critical 2003 draft, he brought us Mott, Bannister, Bowyer, Deluca, and Kenna. -All did nothing.

- Now we have guys like Fevola and Houlihan, who after initially improving, they are now going backwards.
I wonder what would've happened if Brittian was still our coach. I admit he wasn't a good coach by any stretch of the imagination, but at least he had a gameplan and a group that was capable of working in cohesion. All we have now is a group of players lost at sea.
