The Age's Rohan Connolly has complied another top five list for his chat with Francis Leach on SEN Afternoons on Thursday, this week choosing his top five AFL feuds that never ended.

Connolly has trawled back through the past 30 years to find five of the biggest feuds in the AFL, with the people involved ranging from coaches to players, and even assistants.

4. Denis Pagan v Barry Mitchell

In 2007, Denis Pagan was coming to the end of his tenure as Carlton coach, with the board interviewing potential replacements, including assistant coach Barry Mitchell.

Once Pagan found out his assistant was gunning for his role, the two-time North Melbourne premiership coach took matters into his own hands.

“Denis found out and Barry ended up working in a coaches box on the opposite side of the ground, and the communication was not there,” Connolly said.
