Re: The Carlton Rejects of the 80's
I look back at the 91/92 list and wonder why Rob Walls, Dennis Pagan or David Parkin weren't coaching?
All were jobless in 1989 when Doc finished...

Whale oil beef hooked... P66 straight after... I have a quote this time and can have a laugh at the dribble
From what I know...
Sheldon had never coached a side period?!.... Point being
Pagan had coached successfully in the VFA at senior level.... And of course Under 19s with an 80% win/loss ratio... and numerous Grand finals on the trot.
He hadn't coached at senior level when North hired him either... Had he?
Oh,
And the other two were premiership coaches

Wow Jones was good value. Peter McConville, as mentioned, was quite good and Ken Sheldon given his overall contribution to our club down the track, was certainly an asset. The rest, well???

The rest got recruited because they were better than anyone else we had.Moorabbin Man wrote:Wow Jones was good value. Peter McConville, as mentioned, was quite good and Ken Sheldon given his overall contribution to our club down the track, was certainly an asset. The rest, well???
As I recall (and I may be wrong) clubs had no limit to the amount of players they could have on a list, and with Carltons money they just built up more and more players. At that time I think the Carlton seconds may have beaten our senior team - so their rejects stepped straight into our firsts.
We'd also had some luck with other "surplus" players - Rex Hunt and Max Crow, so it may have been a case of just taking what we could get.

Yeah Totally agree. These were the 3 that provided the real value to the Saints sides at the time. We were searching for a real ruckman and WOW arrived and he certainly stood up. If my memory is correct I think McConville came to the Club as a key forward but ended up playing a lot of games across Half Back for us.

Hard to imagine Parkin or Walls ever wanting to coach St Kilda.BigMart wrote:I look back at the 91/92 list and wonder why Rob Walls, Dennis Pagan or David Parkin weren't coaching?

Pagan's senior coaching career didn't start until 1993. Would have been an incredibly bold move to appoint him in 1989.

Saying that it was a sad period for the club when we got into the finals for the first time since 1972 doesn't really make any sense.spert wrote:

It wasn't sad. It was a great time for the club and I have no idea what your on about.
Respect for the club? Respect for the coach?
