Greater Western Sydney coach Leon Cameron won't bother arguing with anybody who puts the boot into him or his struggling AFL side this week.
The Giants' woes continued in a 35-point defeat to Essendon on Saturday night, which marked their fourth straight loss.
The expansion club, who next face Adelaide away, haven't endured such a bad losing streak since 2014 and they risk missing the finals unless Cameron stops the rot soon.
Such a scenario would be an incredible fall from grace for GWS, who were touted as premiership favourites earlier this year after reaching the preliminary finals in 2016 and 2017.
"The scrutiny has been on us for the last two or three weeks. Will there be more? Probably," Cameron said.

"We're in the business of playing four quarters. Clearly we're not doing that.
"So whether they come at myself or our coaching staff or players, it's probably right. You can't argue.
"We'll look at all aspects of our footy club to make sure we're reviewing in the right way. That's what you must do when you have a form slump, you can't run away from it, you have to hit it head on.
"We've got to be mentally a little bit tougher on each other."
Cameron highlighted a lopsided tackle count (85-57) and clearance count (55-42) as among the most concerning elements of the loss to the Bombers.
A match-changing burst of four consecutive goals from Essendon early in the final term has also given Cameron plenty to think about.
"We've got to play and fight for four quarters," he said.
"If there's structural issue our coaches have to deal with it. If there's effort issues then we've got to deal with it.
"We're not going to shy away from hitting it head on ... you can't wish your way to a win."
Tim Taranto will be monitored closely this week, having failed to finish Saturday night's game because of a tight quad.
Phil Davis could return from concussion against the Crows, but Cameron noted the co-captain wouldn't be a saviour.
"You can't just pinpoint one person and say Phil Davis is going to come in and fix our issues," he said.
