I made the decision to travel to Melbourne to watch us play the Demons at the MCG instead of St Kilda.

Imagine telling me I made the right decision immediately after the Demons game?

My VENT is... is anyone going to travel to watch this team anymore? I don't even want to watch them play against Collingwood on the TV (I will) let alone spend a dollar more to watch players who get paid 3x to 10x as much as me running around, half invested in the outcome as I am.

The trust with the supporter base, is surely broken now?

I made the decision to travel to Melbourne to watch this game. You can imagine exactly how I'm feeling this morning.

ONE of the things that gets me is that after the Melbourne loss and last night, in the player interviews, both Switta and Ryan said, and I'm paraphrasing ' coming into the game we knew they we strong in X,Y and Z and would look to shut down our A,B,C. Unfortunately they beat us by being really strong in X,Y and Z and we just couldn't get our A,B,C going.'
We actually know what the opposition is going to do and can't stop it.
Mentally, we're a million miles off it. We have no idea what the mental fortitude level required is to win.
JLo saw no signs during the week. Let me tell you, they were there. He just has no idea what to look for.

I am shocked that Switta was interviewed post game, I didn't even realise he was at the ground. At least his jumper would have been nice and clean for the TV audience.

This club genuinely sucks all the joy and compassion I have for sport out of me, why do they insist on not making tough calls and staying the same middle of the road team year after year?

To me this game that we lost the reaction/response by the heirachy of this club(not the players/coach) will show what this whole club is all about

Players and coaches should be thankful that they're not in the NHL /Major League/soccer because fans would be rioting at the door

And we should be - I’m also a Tottenham fan (yep it’s equally as painful). The fans are genuinely protesting against Daniel Levy and the club management… outright protests in the streets with flares etc..

I’m not suggesting that, but most fans just meekly accept this mediocrity week after week.
Vote with your feet - don’t go to the games.

Absolute unadulterated dogshit. Sadly our members are the weakest in the competition and we will continue to accept it, no pressure will be applied to the board and nothing will change.

Best way for the supporters to push JL out is not turn up this Thursday night. The club doesn’t deserve support from us supporters after what they dished up last night. I don’t think I can watch it even on tv - it’s not good for my health

Gotta be honest: I might have to check out (#eco) for a while. It's just no longer fun, I'm not getting anything out of following Freo anymore and I have a newborn at home and priorities elsewhere and I don’t want to be a miserable bastard because my weekend interests are bringing my mood down.

Whilst we have Longmuir and a list who seemingly couldn't give 2 f***s I don't see it getting better, have to take a sanity break. Hopefully the board make some tough and smart decisions in the near future and my interest can re-stoke but until then I may save my footy for passing interests in local teams, better stories and better footy.

Seriously, what the f*** are we doing?

Yeah after Melbourne ruined my weekend I did the same. Came down south with my partner this weekend and made a restaurant reservation for game night. Knew this was coming.
I watched the first Q while partner was getting ready and laughing, turned the TV off 5 minutes into the 2nd.
Went out for dinner, had a nice night, checked the score later & just shook my head.
Yeah I’m here this morning checking out the vibe while wife gets ready again but I doubt I’ll bother using my membership seat on Thursday. Will certainly not engage with any football media this or any other week.
I’m just about ready to go back & watch the WAFL at Freo Oval on Saturdays.
AFL is just too rah rah & expensive these days with membership, Kayo etc & life’s too short.

The main positive from this club is that it's quelled my frustrations down quite a notch with my NHL team - the Canucks ,they literally are the Dockers of the NHL 🥴 😂

I've disagreed with you on this forum for years and years going all the way back to when you wanted Walters to return and I wanted him to stay out longer to really earn it. But credit where credit is due, you at least get the vibe of what is going on, and you called this all week last week.

It reminded me of the 2012 and 2013 finals against Geelong, where I just knew Ross would have us firing on all cylinders game day.

Small thing but Switkowski doing the post game interview was such a bad look. Of all the terrible efforts out there his was arguably the most terrible.
Spouting nonsense we have all heard before.

The coach needs to go no doubt - but you are a fool of you think that solves all our problems.

Different sport but this clip of Roy Keane on man united 2 or 3 years ago really hit home to me watching us last night.



For those of you that aren’t football fans - Keane was eerily correct in his prediction. Ole got sacked and two coaches later they are worse than they ever were. Many of the same fraudsters are still there playing for man united meanwhile.

Could’ve been talking about himself for how there’s no accountability or lack of toughness.

How ironic. Get the most ineffecetive player of the most ineffective team of the night to front the media.

Would love it to be less than 20k attending but it'll be "Thursday's" fault if it happens 😂

I’m glad I’m not the only one in the doomed relationship of Spurs + wharfs. I want Levy and Garlick both gone from respective clubs by the way!
