If we're gone - how do you excuse losing to us, 2 men down.
I don't. But that's not the definition of a good team (being able to beat Collingwood). The definition of a good team would be a team that wins regularly enough see them make the top 4, across a full season. Last year, St Kilda were clearly in that bracket. This year, they're not. Just because you beat Collingwood doesn't make you the second best team in the league. That's a very circular argument. eg, Collingwood Beat Carlton, so Collingwood are better than Carlton. Carlton beat Geelong, but Geelong beat Collingwood. By your logic, all three of these teams are the best, and at the same time, none of them are.
For more than a month, the saints have been struggling to maintain ladder position, and will continue to do so every time they play a half decent team, at least until Riewoldt comes back. And even then, it's unlikely he'll be performing at his best for quite some time. You'll probably stay in the 8, but wont make the 4, which means you won't be one of our best 2 opponents. In fact, you'll probably get beaten by us next time if you continue to play the way you have for the last month.
