Feel like the supporters and members are owed an apology of some sort from the club's leaders. Players, coach and lets not forget our 'high' performance sport science team.

Won't make me feel better but seems like we are owed something. I will likely renew my membership before Xmas again for the 26th year in a row but it won't an automatic decision and not with the same enjoyment and optimism.

Is it just me?

I would like answers as well but I honestly believe nothing they say will make me feel the slightest bit better.

Like I stated yesterday, if the club banned " Mad Monday " I might be slightly appeased.

I too think the club should not be silent and am a little surprised that nothing at all seems to be being said at this stage.

I don't think it'll be an 'apology' and, truth be told, nothing they say will please everyone - but some sort of statement needs to be made.

Why would they even suggest something so stupid.

Clearly going to be an attempt at a sincere heartfelt apology

Apparently there is going to be a Nathan Jones press conference at 1.45

What about the rest of them!!!!! Coaches and sport science failed us in the back half also. He better not be stepping down from captaincy. Is one of the few that tries

I am a little over apologies to be honest. We have been [censored] for years and we sure know how to talk as a club and say the right things but can never put it into action. 

An apology would fall on deaf ears as far as I'm concerned, and surely the club knows no one would give a [censored] what they say now, they blew it, again.

That is not an official website - it is someone having a sick joke.

If there was a press conf of any sort the announcement notice of it would come from the club.

Ignore it, someone is trolling.

Maybe Jonesy saw Norm Smith in his dreams last night and he told him that the curse is now over and we can be good again in 2018?

rather than an apology - a more constructive response would be answers surrounding - what happened... and actually detail it (rather than mediaspeak of we will review it) - and what steps from a physiological, psychological, structural and coaching perspective need to be addressed.

Yeah, usually Fox sports is on to these things quickly and nothing mentioned on there.

Agree Luci! Nothing on the website and Slobbo is currently on SEN - no mention.

Only coaching staff can do that after a review which can't happen only 24 hrs after season has finished.....As much we are all [censored] it requires a methodical approach...

Still hurts though

I would say that 'statements' mean nothing.

Actions will mean plenty.

We don't need 10 changes but I would say that anyone not deemed to be a competitor should be sweating.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
