St Kilda parts ways with coach after eight straight losses, including a record‑low score

St Kilda announced on Friday that head coach Nick Dal Santo has been relieved of his duties after the team suffered eight consecutive AFLW defeats, one of which matched the league’s lowest ever score.

The historic low‑scoring loss last week left the Saints’ tally so small it could have been drawn with a child’s crayon – a tongue‑in‑cheek way to highlight just how low the scoreboard got.

The club said it will now begin a search for a new coach in hopes of lifting the side out of the cellar.

Supporters will be watching closely to see whether the next match breaks the losing streak or adds another entry to the low‑score record book.
