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?

No idea how anyone can fault Jones for this. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. He fronted up, and didn't point any fingers. This bloke has given everything to this club every second since he

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.

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

Why would they even suggest something so stupid.

Clearly going to be an attempt at a sincere heartfelt apology

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
