Topic: Denis Pagan


  
  Wayne Carey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Denis Pagan took the coaching reigns in 1993, one of the first things he did was to appoint Carey as the club's captain - the second youngest captain in VFL/AFL history at 21 years of age.
Pagan designed the team's offence around Carey, instructing other forwards to make space and draw their direct opponents well away from the goals to make space for Carey, a tactic which became known as "Pagan's Paddock".
In early 2005, he agreed to assist former coach and mentor Denis Pagan at the Carlton Football Club, acting voluntarily as a part-time skills coach.

 Many unhappy returns - realfooty.com.au
Denis Pagan may have turned his back on the Kangaroos but says he is proud that he left them in good shape.
No one knows what was said when Denis Pagan angrily confronted his successor Dean Laidley at AFL headquarters late last year, but all those at the final 2002 senior coaches' conference who got wind of it were intrigued at the possibilities.
Pagan said later how proud he was to have left the Kangaroos in such good shape - they have only lost one game this season and drew with Brisbane - despite previous claims to the contrary.

Carlton coach Denis Pagan has been the subject of a series of anonymous telephone calls and messages that has sparked an unofficial police investigation leading back to the wife of a former Kangaroos director.

Pagan - who was selected as the Kangaroos' coach of the 20th century - departed the club at the end of last season, signing a three-year deal with Carlton.

Carlton coach Denis Pagan has defended his inconsistent spearhead Brendan Fevola, declaring the temperamental forward an 'elite talent' who is needed at the struggling club.
Pagan said the 'cycle' of Fevola tends to vary considerably, and that encouragement from the club seems to reignite the young forward.
Pagan believes that had Fevola's commitment not been finalised until the end of the season, the spearhead would have been a target for rival clubs.

 Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Despite the official outlawing of so-called pagan philosophy in the 6th century, Platonism or Neoplatonism, continued to maintain a dynamically evolving influence for the ensuing thousand years within the sphere of Christianity and beyond that, interest in Platonism is waxing strong today.
Thus the first to be denied are the perceptible attributes, starting with The Mystical Theology, Chapter 4, which therefore previews the two subsequent treatises on perceptible symbols, The Celestial Hierarchy and The Ecclesiastical Hierarchy.
Both the spatial, material depiction of the angels in the scriptures and also the temporal, sequential images of God in the liturgy must be transcended in the ascent from the perceptible to the intelligible.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Charlemagne
Thus, then, at St. Denis on the Seine, in the Kingdom of Neustria, on the 28th of July, 754, the house of Arnulf was, by a solemn act of the supreme pontiff established upon the throne until then nominally occupied by the house of Merowig (Merovingians).
In 772 these Saxons were a horde of aggressive pagans offering to Christian missionaries no hope but that of martyrdom; bound together, normally, by no political organization, and constantly engaged in predatory incursions into the lands of the Franks.
This was Wittekind's last opportunity to restore the national independence and paganism; his people, exasperated against the Franks and their God, eagerly rushed to arms.

Telling the On The Couch panel that basically "Pagan is no great friend of mine", Carey said he wouldn't go to a club coached by his two-time premiership mentor.
Pagan, who is out of contract at year's end, has refused.
So if Carey joins the Swans, Pagan faces the prospect of eating humble pie and taking a big pay cut to stay with the Kangaroos - an untenable option for a man with the pride and the outstanding coaching record of Pagan.

For the intellectuals of Paganism there was that new thing the moral philosophy of the Stoics; and while some turned in desperation from the critic-riddled mythologies to the despair of scepticism, the neo-Pythagorean philosophies with their teaching of a divine providence and their liturgy of healing and purification attracted others.
And this traditional paganism remained for the mass of its clients substantially the same, anthropomorphic, a hero-worship, a magical cult, undoctrinal, unmoral, idolatrous.
Their spiritual lineage was from the heroes who had formed the armies of Maccabeus, and the traditional religious patriotism of the sect won it a deep and constant influence with the mass of the Jews.
