Timeline

1947

Denis Leslie Pagan (born 24 September 1947) is a former Australian rules football coach and player in the VFL/AFL.

1967

Pagan played 120 games for the North Melbourne Football Club between 1967 and 1974, kicking 5 goals, mainly due to his permanent spot as a hard-nosed defender in the back pocket.

1971

He represented Victoria in interstate matches in 1971.

1974

After the Grand Final loss to Richmond in 1974, Pagan was pushed out of North Melbourne by senior coach Ron Barassi and Pagan's dwindling form and the club's reassessment of its squad in the aftermath of 1974 loss was the factor that caused Pagan's departure from North Melbourne Football Club.

1975

Pagan then moved to South Melbourne for two seasons from 1975 until 1976, playing 23 games and kicking 0 goals.

However, these events did not deter Pagan from his dedication to the North Melbourne football club, despite Barassi's authoritative coaching style.

1978

In 1978, Pagan played for Port Melbourne in the Victorian Football Association.

1979

Pagan's coaching career began when he took the role of captain-coach of the Yarraville Football Club in the VFA second division in 1979.

1980

He piloted the team to the 1980 minor premiership and Grand Final, but the club lost the Grand Final against Brunswick.

Pagan then returned to North Melbourne, and had great success as its Under-19s coach over the following decade.

1983

Pagan led the team to nine consecutive Under-19s Grand Finals from 1983 to 1991, resulting in five premierships: in 1984, 1987, 1988, 1990 and 1991.

1991

After the AFL's Under-19s competition was disbanded at the end of 1991, Pagan was signed by the Essendon Football Club, where he led its reserves team to the Victorian State Football League premiership in 1992.

1993

Pagan returned again to North Melbourne in the 1993 season, and was appointed senior coach.

He had an immediate impact at the Kangaroos, taking the side to the finals that year.

1996

Pagan led North Melbourne to a premiership in 1996.

1998

Pagan also led North Melbourne to the 1998 AFL Grand Final but fell short and lost to Adelaide.

1999

Pagan then led North Melbourne to another premiership in 1999 and reached at least the preliminary final every year from 1994 to 2000.

He was known for pioneering a successful tactic which was termed "Pagan's Paddock", based around his key forward Wayne Carey.

The coaching strategy involved moving all forwards out of the 50-metre arc and midfielders bombing the ball into empty space.

The key forwards would run with the flight of the ball to take a mark or running goal.

By the end of his term at North Melbourne, he had established an impeccable reputation as a senior AFL coach and the longest serving coach in the club's history.

2001

His worst season at North Melbourne was in the 2001 season, when the club missed the finals for the only time during his 10-year term at the club.

2002

Pagan quit as senior coach of North Melbourne Football Club at the end of the 2002 season, despite the team finishing 7th, which was a better result than expected after Wayne Carey left the club at the beginning of the year after his much-publicised affair.

Pagan then went to sign a lucrative deal with the Carlton Football Club.

Pagan was then replaced by Dean Laidley as senior coach of North Melbourne.

At the end of 2002, Pagan was appointed senior coach of the Carlton Football Club, replacing Wayne Brittain, after Brittain was sacked when Carlton under Brittain finished sixteenth (last-on the ladder position) for the wooden spoon in the 2002 season.

Brittain had a year remaining on his contract, and was paid out by the club.

Pagan's attempt to rebuild the side was not helped by the fact the club had been hit with salary cap breaches which prevented the club from rebuilding its playing list in the short term.

2003

As a result of these penalties, in Pagan's first season as Carlton Football Club senior coach in the 2003 season, Carlton under Pagan endured another unsuccessful season, finishing fifteenth (second-last) on the ladder with four wins and eighteen losses.

2004

Employing a recycled player policy in an attempt to rebuild the team for the 2004 season where Pagan led Carlton to eleventh on the ladder with ten wins and twelve losses, which was Carlton's highest placing under Pagan, and carried this into a pre-season premiership in the 2005 Wizard Cup.

2005

However, this proved to be a false dawn, when Carlton under Pagan ended up receiving two consecutive wooden spoons in the 2005 season with four wins, one draw and seventeen losses, and in the 2006 season with three wins, one draw and eighteen losses.

2007

Carlton under Pagan did not improve much in the 2007 season, sitting at fourteenth on the ladder after Round 16, 2007 with four wins and twelve losses.

Between Rounds 12 and 16, Carlton suffered five consecutive heavy defeats, the last of which was a 117-point defeat against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba in Round 16, 2007.

It proved to be the nail in the coffin for Pagan and his job, and Pagan was sacked as Carlton Football Club senior coach the following day on 23 July 2007.

He was not bitter at the club's decision, and wanted to go on record that he would never have quit as the coach of the Carlton Football Club.

Pagan was replaced by assistant coach Brett Ratten as caretaker senior coach for the remainder of the 2007 season, who was eventually appointed full-time senior coach of Carlton.

Pagan had a year to go on his contract which was paid out in full by the club.

2008

There were talks that he may have been sacked at this point, in a club board meeting coup led by club president Graham Smorgon; however, it was decided to extend his contract until the end of the 2008 season.

2014

Years later in 2014, Pagan later stated in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper that coaching Carlton was "a very difficult assignment", also taking into consideration the fact that the club had lost valuable draft picks in the wake of the salary cap breaches.

2020

Pagan is a dual AFL premiership coach, and he also won the prestigious Victoria derby in 2020 as a trainer and owner of the horse “Johnny Get Angry.” This victory made him the first Australian sports figure to win an AFL premiership as a coach and train a group 1 horse race winner.
