You can sook about the umpiring all you like, but at the end of the day, St Kilda just played bad football.

Max King - bad football
Mitch Owens - bad football
Jack Higgins - bad football
Liam Henry - bad football

Not going to win games if you keep wasting possession and hitting opposition players by foot.
Saints have had more free kicks

As always they look for excuses
 
Except that's not an argument, that's just you being unintelligent, as usual.

Hmmmm

Your argument amounts to "your point is bad". At this point, one can very safely conclude you are not intelligent. It is as simple as that, squirt.

So my argument wasn’t an argument, but you then change that view and suggest that it is. You are the one questioning my intelligence? LOL
 
Saints not quite meshing together in midfield and attack. Defensively been pretty good keeping Geelong to 9 goals. But they might wonder abt missed opps midway in q4.
 
Hate that rule.
No, it's good rule and we needed it because too many players were cheap-shotting opponents by diving into their legs and causing ACLs and broken legs

The problem is when umpires get it wrong and incorrectly penalise the player who is there first & over the ball (Stocker) and they reward the crafty stagers (like Dangerfield) who deliberately crash in to milk the free kick

The rule wasn't designed for that bullshit. But every time the AFL make a new rule, the smart players quickly adapt and learn how to make it work for them.

Probably should have said that I hate the interpretation of the rule.
