Give it a break, you are now accusing the umpires of colluding with a team for wins.
Please take a step back from your computer, this is embarrassing .

Always good to read the thoughts of a fan who accepts their team's inadequacies with equanimity.

Sad. St.Kilda had their chance to win, their lack of forward line composure and greedy kicking cost them the game. Milne was lazy and seems to be choking so close to 500.
56 inside 50's to 44. You didn't convert well enough.
lol, you are so bitter.

The Saints have had a good start to the season, up until yesterday. And the stats do back up what I said.

What does that even?

Dockers have had a far better start.

Better, not far better. Squeezed past us at home by 2 points. Lost to Sydney, and had a win against a s**t Brisbane side in a woeful game.

Yep. But my point was about how the Sainter hierarchy responded to it, and how that affected the team.
I think 2011 showed Ross's window with the saints was up. His coaching in the finals v the swans was complacent and very unross like.
Very unlucky not to have got us a flag, but coached for the present. With our list we need a coach willing to bring in a new system and new players. The uncompromising defensive based footy took its toll, as it appears to have done for the pies.
With Geelong the obvious exception, getting into two grand finals is as good as it gets in modern footy. Since 2004 we've seen the swans, eagles, port, saints, pies all play in two. The hawks in one and one prelim, the dogs in two prelims. Saints very unlucky.
Good luck to Freo, better luck to us I hope.
Happy with our new coach - we wouldn't have gone forward with Ross this year.

Dont give your team too much credit, it was a win by double that margin
OK. Thrashed us by 4 points.

A win is a win. I don't hear anyone complaining when you only beat the hawks by 1 point. The better team on the day is the one with the 4 points, simple really.
Umpiring was fine and I was glad they put away the whistle for once. 12 a piece for free kicks so I can't see how it could be shockingly bad or one sided.

Is that your big hang up, that I said the better team lost? Well, yeah on one level the better team always wins.
On another level sometimes teams just throw away their opportunities. The Saints in the second quarter were shocking in that regard.

I travelled over for the game - it was an arm wrestle all night.
This was a game that a Pre-Ross Freo would of not turned up for a qtr and been thrashed.
From my vantage point, early St K scored of Freo errors ...2nd half these gimmies were not there and the Sainters were trying to kick into a loaded defensive half.
Blaming the umps is pathetic - St K skill errors gave Freo the easier run in the 2nd half and we were running harder at the end of the game.
Basically if St K were good enough they would of converted a number of those kickable goals in the last and upped the ante.
Where I grew up - bad kicking is bad football.

Is the point of the OP to tell us he played footy at some level?
