CARLTON'S coaching panel has survived a comprehensive review of the club's football operations, with the Blues attributing their 2005 wooden spoon to the state of the playing list rather than shortcomings in coaching....
The Carlton board also has indicated that it will pursue a long-term list management strategy — a plan over three to five years — through which the club will retain its early-draft picks, avoiding the short-cuts the club believes have contributed to the dire state of its list.
So, despite now being the coach for three full years, Pagan and his coaching staff are still held basically blameless for the fact that he led the push to ignore picking up young talent and going for reject after reject in the last few years, resulting in Carlton being no better off at the end of 2005 then they were at the end of 2002.
Madness.

Put Pagan in charge of St Kilda, where Thomas obviously hasn't been stripped of HIS 'draught' selections, and he might have some success.
