Disgraceful.

Lose Liddle and Cross and you might as well sit out 2014. As reliant on them as the Crows are on Sloane and Dangerfield...

Think the players are sending a message about their feelings towards Ronnie???

No disresepect to South but great % booster for the bloods. It will more than likely put them back in 3rd.

Been doing that all year.

No disresepect to South but...

Why not - it's well deserved.

Absolute joke Ron MUST GO these floggings are not good enough and cannot be accepted!!!!!!

It is just EMBARRASSING getting smashed like this!!!!

The board need to man up and make the tough call cause this current situation is not good for anyone!!!!!

Only had 0.16% to catch up on North and they had done that by the 11-minute mark. Now they're 1.61% ahead which is as good as a win.

Rarely lost for words but tonight I am ....

...feel sad, angry and utterly disappointed.

If there is not a change after this result today , well......

Fk knows !!! And with south ...fk would not even have an answer !!!

Pure 100% $h2tful performance that !

Our last game next week is against Sturt - hope we don't win as some on the board might see it as justification for keeping him for the last year of his contract. He's done.

Been reserved on this subject the entire season but today was enough. If he doesn't go, players will.

Yeah agree Scott, you have been silent on the issue but it has got to a point of no return.....

If they do win against Sturt and the board see that as some sort of justification for keeping him then the board should p..s off themselves!!

This year they have lost supporters and if nothing changes.....it will be a ghost town down at Noarlunga and the players will be off to rival clubs. (...and really who the hell could blame them!!)

Glad I wasn't there

Listening to the 2nd half on radio was bad enough. Nothing but a procession of goals to the Bloods.

I've been 50/50 on the Fuller situation, but geez, after days like today...

That's not excusing the pathetic, unacceptable performances from our players which highlight the lack of character and pride that many seem to possess.

I love having a read through Scott's stats, and one of the most damning ones from this season has been our scoring output. 58ppg. Simply dreadful, even accounting for a wetter than usual winter. And to think we have the Ken Farmer Medallist..

Scott the players have already gone. The young ones from 16's to 18's over the last few years who WERE the future could SEE no future. They are miles behind ever other club, BUT they shouldn't be. It's not just RF there are a couple others that are there just for themselves. Scary to think what will happen over the next few months.

After 4 years and we are still getting belted!!!!! Club going nowhere under Ron people need to realise this!!!

He MUST GO, lets not forget he has been allowed to recruit who he has wanted and implement his game plan and we are still getting hammered, the club has backed him 100 percent and he has not delivered!!!!!

Don't give me rubbish about previous coaches either Ron should be judged on Ron's performances!!!!

100-point floggings are symbolic and four in a season is totally inconceivable and utterly unacceptable. The club needs to make a statement, and they will if they have any ounce of credibility and a backbone.

Over 20 seasons between 1993 and 2012 - through some of our absolutely bloody bleakest years - we suffered nine 100+ losses (so one every two years basically). Even that's not acceptable.

Before this year, we had just the one since the end of 2008. Things were looking up in 2011 after making the finals. While not making the finals in 2012, things were positive in a lot of ways ... ie. we only won one less game than the previous year (stupid actually because we shouldn't accept going backwards or mediocrity); our biggest loss was by only 44 points and we lost four matches by less than a kick; and we had a Magarey Medalist. Some hope at least.

After our loss to Norwood in Round 12 this year and the club starting to reach all time lows again, three wins in four matches (with the loss being our smallest loss at Elizabeth in over a decade) gave us hope that all is not lost with our direction and endeavour at least.

But this year has just ultimately been a shattering and diabolical waste of time. Why would Ron want to even bother coaching the last game? Man up, nick off and give those players who are lost at least something to hold onto over the summer for the club's sake.

BTW feel for big Brooksby. 50 games for the club today and that was the result. Averaging 28 taps a game this year and a bloke that can hold his head up high almost every match and a terrific club man.

AND, credit where credit is due to Westies. Terrific win and hopefully you've helped our board make what should be an otherwise easy decision in every other type of business model on the planet.

Don't worry, the Roosters should have bridged that gap by quarter time tomorrow...

Only one more flogging to come for the year. Hartigan would be staying in the Crows next week, so it should rain goals for Sturt. Whatever happens at senior coach level over the summer, we are gonna have to do some impressive recruiting. We need a CHB, a CHF and some bigger bodies in the middle.

What a stinker of an effort !
Either the coach goes or we will slip further into the cess pit!
Fair dinkum if I was overseeing that sort of rubbish I would stand aside!
If it were another type of industry you would get the chop!!
West are pretty good and we are garbage on today's effort and for that matter the whole season. How you could let a team kick 23 goals on a heavy oval is beyond me!
Flicking a coach is not always the answer but when the team as shown throughout the season really is not fair dinkum something has to give. We might not finish bottom but we are definitely the biggest joke in the comp!

Fortunately the Tigers have wrapped up the spoon pretty much...

Very disappointing for the fans...

Not sure who they should look to next year, maybe Micken?
