9. During the Pagan/Carey era, North Melbourne pioneered this tactic, which helped them turn games into fast-paced, crash-and-bash contests.

From Quiz North in the 1990s

Answer: Pagan's Paddock

Pagan's Paddock is when all of the attacking players clear their attacking 50 metres so that the ball can be bombed into the open space. This gives North's forwards (Wayne Carey, in particular) room to run onto the ball. More recently, Hawthorn used a similar tactic - called Buddy's Box - to deliver the ball to Lance Franklin.
