Cheap Premierships

[DroopStDanny]

Cheapest one was the 1966 premiership where the Saints were the beneficiaries of an all time favourable free kick record

Fitting there is no footage/photos of the players in St Kilda guernsies.

Also

Q: Why is it prohibited to swim at St Kilda beach?
A: Because it only has 1 flag.

Plugger smacked down with the first reply. Nice job.

LOL

cheap cheap

The 1966 premiership was not cheap, have a look at the last 5 minutes of that game, St Kilda had to hang on against the Pies and the umpires.

Baldock, Ian Stewart and Cowboy Neale were repeatedly infringed as we were clearly the more talented team, we should've won that game by 5 goals.

Well written thread plugger. Glad you're not afraid to speak the truth

1.) Interstate club beats Victorian side whose home ground is the MCG
2.) Interstate club beats Victorian side
3.) Victorian club beats Victorian side.

If I was just trolling I would say Geelong's 2009 and Collingwood's 2010 premierships were cheap, they weren't cheap, they were hard earned.

But that's not the tune you were singing to at the time, was it?

...

bro, ur team just won a premiership, how are you triggered by plugger 35

Walking to the pub, have a quick look to gauge reaction to our win and this is the first thing I see. Sorry, it just came out.

Enjoy your salt bath, BigFooty.

 

[Carowhine]

Yeah 12 wins in a row or whatever it is and we arsed it

 

[Stax on the mill]

We’re all guilty of that from time to time Steele. Think Pies may have been a tad more competitive today if we’d got through.

 

[Freomaniac]

Congrats to Richmond but they won another cheap premiership today with an interstate opponent not turning up.

Other cheap premierships.

Geelong v Port Adelaide 2007

Hawks v Sydney 2014

Hawks v West Coast 2015

Bulldogs v Sydney 2016*

Richmond v Adelaide 2017

Richmond v GWS 2019

*umpires

I wish St Kilda was so lucky but we ran into Geelong and Collingwood in our 2009 and 2010 GFs, two other Vic teams that had more MCG experience than us.

I know people will point out that we played an interstate opponent in the 1997 GF but Adelaide were a f***ing good side back then with Mcleod, Riccuito and Darren Jarman.

St Kilda was missing our best ruckman and arguably our best player in Spida Everitt, our no.2 ruckman in Lazar Vidovic and Nicky Winmar's dad died so he was cooked.

Maybe one of these days we will get one of those cheap premierships like Geelong, Hawks, Bulldogs. Richmond.

Ironic you said that.

you look at Todays scoreline. It was 114 to Richmond to GWS 27.

Your a subiaco fan. your team beat South Fremantle 120-24. You call that a cheap WAFL flag?

 

[RAPPA]

Can’t blame Richmond for winning. Collingwood shouldn’t have choked

 

[Substance]

The amount plugger would give for a cheap premiership...

 

[KeilorUnder9s]

What a sad, bitter and twisted individually. Ill be at Punt Rd celebrating our second flag in three years if you need me... #umpires

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Crows were missing Riccuito and Modra for the '97 Grand Final and played back to back away games and was down at HT in the '97 GF.

Didn't the crows finish 5th, lose their first final then get a home semi?

 

[Plugger35]

But that's not the tune you were singing to at the time, was it?

The GF replay was a joke.

It was hard earned the week before in the real GF, it shouldn't have gone to extra time.

We were robbed by the bounce.

We were also robbed in 2009 by the Hawkins poster.

I didn't taKe either of those results gracefully but they were great battles.

Got to sleep in their own beds, then walk across the road to their own ground and even got some of their own supporters to officiate them.... Lucky ducks!

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Bahahahhaha absolute dog shit thread

 

[GROTTO]

That was in '98 and no Home Semi.

Crows played 5 consecutive interstate games in a row to win the '98 flag. Arguably the toughest flag ever won.

Yeah it was all umpiring...

Saints threw in towel in the GF replay

Disgracefully weak effort

Nothing of that was their doing. The system is not even but that's not the Tigers fault.

 

[Glenn_]

This one ranks as the cheapest ever. They beat a fake team, they won a fake flag.

Rather ironic , coming from a supporter of another soulless franchise.

Robbed by the poster? It was in the second quarter. Saints choked when kicking for goal like us in 08.
In 2011 a Collingwood player hit the post in the 3rd and it was paid a goal. Can't say you were robbed by an incident in the 2nd quarter.
What about the ridiculous free on half time that cost us 2 goals?
