St Kilda Football Club Premiers 1991.

St Kilda Saints FC: Premiers 1991 Officially.

The season began well. Three really 13 - 9 seasons in a row in 87 (including a reserves Premiership), 88, & 89, followed by a mildly exciting 1990 season, didn't yield actually getting to participate in Finals. Match fixing kept The Saints out, check the fake standing for details.

There were the league's usual "grip on reality problems" in the early rounds. St Kilda FC won the first 4 in a row. However, the score was wrong by 30 points yet again at Kardinia Park (like every year since 1964 except when it was wrong by more), resulting in a 4 point triumph turning into a pretend 26 point win by the hamming it up with scary catty face Geelong FC. Repulsive. 

In Round 4, a classic appeared to unfold at Moorabbin versus Collingwood. However, Robert Harvey ran in and slotted a goal to put The Saints in front very late in the game. The initial cheers quickly changed to an "oh no, the umpires going to pay it a point" bored "ewwww". They pretended it was a draw. 

People pretended to be using "bulk hand held cameras" at The Saints players in the Round 6 game v Carlton at Princes Park. The Adelaide Crows first trip to Moorabbin resulted in a 131 point win to St Kilda FC in Round 7, in Lockett's first game for the year. He ran out of game juice after half time and kicked 12.6 78.

The Round 10 home game at Moorabbin was the end of the use of the stadium for men's matches. St Kilda kicked 10 goals to 8 after quarter time and lost. The crowd was just a little too big for people to feel comfortable. The immediate decision was to move all home games away (to Waverley Park) as soon as possible, and limit ticket sales for the remaining Moorabbin games. The "mystery cramps and headaches" in the first quarter didn't help, either.

In Round 11 The Saints improved to to be listed as a fake 5 - 1 - 3, before being credited with defeating Hawthorn at Princes Park for the first time since the 1970's. A disgustingly unfair and incorrect statistic, by anyone's measure. It should have been a preview of better in the Finals.

Wining 5 out of the next 6 was all good. Followed by what looked like, in retrospect, a desperate panting attempt to deprive St Kilda FC of finals in the next three rounds. St Kilda lost 3 in a row, but didn't really lose the game versus the Demons at Moorabbin. Yet another fixed fake 1 point loss. 10 premiership points were missing by that point, and St Kilda was falsely portrayed as "teetering" in the last spot for the finals, with a bye to come. Still 6th after the bye.

St Kilda won every game for the rest for the season. On the mathematical brink of finals on the fake standings after Lockett kicked his 100th goal in a superb away win in Adelaide against the Crows. 

That was followed by finals being secured despite 10 premiership points being AWOL with a 20 goal, 120 point defeat of Brisbane Bears (or Hawthorn 2) in Round 23. Without Tony Lockett in the team, rested due to injury. He already had 107 for the year.  He would have kicked 10, surely. 17 goals to 2 after half time anyway. The Brisbane Bears have full wide screen complete memories of quite a few losses to St Kilda FC between their entry in 1987 to their merger in 1996. 

The final Round against the Swans was a difficult formality, Lockett kicked 11 in a 39 point win. He finished the home and away season with 13 v Carlton, 10 v Adelaide, missed the 120 point win over the Bears, then kicked 11 in the final round.

The corruption addicted non-purists were devastated. St Kilda FC was listed as qualifying 4th, even though it would have been at least 3rd if the results were correct. In the end it meant a Final versus Geelong regardless.

The 2nd Elimination Final in the 1991 AFL Premiership Season Finals Series, St Kilda versus Geelong at Waverley Park.

It was the first time St Kilda FC got to play in a Finals match since the lunatic’s corruption marathon started against the club in the 1970's. The most recent final being the space-techno-oppression disaster that was the compromised 1973 First Semi Final against Richmond. 

People responsible for engineering dangerous crowd crushes of St Kilda FC spectators in St Kilda FC seating areas for no valid reason all the way through the 60's and 70's at every final (and at Moorabbin), saw it as another opportunity to try again. The crushes had been getting worse every year through the 60's & 70's, as they studied their previous attempts to cause death or injury, and sold more tickets for areas where there was still some space the previous game that people moved into to make sure everyone was okay.

In the 1971 Grand Final there was an insanely over sold crowd of over 118,000 (around 25K over capacity), and a fixed game, probably partly to try to make The Saints fans move in outrage suddenly to induce injuries in the crowd like a chain reaction. Those lunatics spent 15 years fantasizing about St Kilda FC spectators being evacuated onto the field seriously injured or dead, with the games halted, in the 60's & 70's. St Kilda officially being the 1971 & 1972 premiership team due to match mixing convictions is the correct outcome.

In 1991, they literally begged the league to sell 10 to 15 thousand too many tickets above the capacity at Waverley Park for St Kilda FC's first final in 18 years. 

So they could crush the fans in, try again, and see if they could get St Kilda FC supporters evacuated due to serious injury in an engineered crowd crush. They had asked for 10 thousand extra tickets go on sale (hoping for 15K) to crush people into the St Kilda FC designated members areas. In the end, only the rated capacity of the ground was put on sale, despite their begging.

Those lunatics pretended to watch in horror as the 63 thousand spectators sat comfortably for the game (relative to the stadium conditions) and could move freely, cheer, clap, and wave flags and streamers. Howling like lunatics every time something controversial against St Kilda FC happened (or radiation weapons came on at The Saints) that might have caused near fatality injuries if there had been a crown crush, like blatantly incorrect scores.

There have never been any excuses or reasons for trying to engineer crowd crushes involving St Kilda FC spectators and never will. Including the pathetic lunatic dribble of doing it to try to make spectators get evacuated onto the surface "impersonating Jesus" when crowd surfed to the pitch, to please lunatics like "rogue lunatic Islamic terrorists" and fulfill evil personal fantasies.

These days, they try to make St Kilda FC supporters make noises as if seriously injured in a crowd crush and needing to be evacuated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using any terrorist means they can get their hands on. About everything from the lunatic scale corrupt results, to the mail getting delivered everyday, to electricity bills and ticket purchases. 

Tony Lockett [4] broke the league record for the most goals kicked in an Elimination Final (after a new record had been set the day before in the First Elimination Final). Well worth a medal. He was credited with 9 for the game, but kicked 10.

St Kilda qualified for the Finals in 1974, 1975, 1978, 1987, and the almost absolute chaos of 1988 (where the league standings incorrectly said The Saints finished last, instead of really qualifying 5^th), but match fixing kept The Saints out of the Elimination Final in all of those seasons. St Kilda would have qualified even higher, if not for the modern space-techno-interference in games starting 1973 Finals Series (think Marvin the Martian in a space  suit).

The 5 other teams that qualified for the Finals became aware The Saints playing in the Finals Series was unavoidable for the first time since 1973, despite all their illegal cheating and violence, around two weeks out from the Finals. St Kilda was in the final 6, Lockett had secured a century of goals for the season in 15 games, and the Saints had the bottom two teams at Moorabbin for the final two games (Bears and Swans).

The involved teams held a “crisis meeting” about it. Initial arguments that there was “still time and ways” to make it appear The Saints missed the finals in the final two games were unceremoniously doused with a “they’ll probably win by 100 points in each match, ten goals even if we cheat”. The other teams eventually decided to "make doping a pact" with each other, using a new method of cheating involving an intravenous drip, until St Kilda FC was out of the Finals. After discussing using all the usual methods, they decided to go with body fat and muscle tissue plasma bags as well.

They said something like “If St Kilda has made the Finals despite what we do to them every year, for the first time since 1973, they just must be the best team in the history of the universe at this, man!"

It has had the deserved disastrous consequences for them all, when a new test was developed for their method of cheating in 1991 during the 2019 to 2023 new tests doping blitz. The AFL’s doping agreement with the authorities in 1991 meant the “irregular samples” collected from the Finals Series in 1991 were retained, until the convictions were secured in 2022-23 with a new type of test and bulk failed samples.

Bulk doping pacts involving multiple teams have not been unusual against St Kilda FC since the 90's.

The disqualifications are the ultimate good news for Saints fans everywhere. St Kilda FC are officially the 1991 Premiers (official 2022-23), with all other finals teams disqualified for systematic doping, beyond appeal. Lockett kicked 10 in the Elimination Final, but was only credited with 9, still good enough to be declared the Norm Smith Medallist for the Season.

They are, of course, claiming to hold all disqualifications to ransom for debt relief to pay off their cheating debts until now, and then use for more resources to cheat with, as if a reflex action.

St Kilda really won the Elimination Final 8 points. Lockett was credited with a miss from the top of the goal square in the first quarter that was really a goal. Bruns really missed in the 3rd, and Brownless shanked a howler in the 4th, but both were paid goals. The opposition players (in some cases) smelt terrible when they sweated after half time. 

St Kilda FC won 15.12 102 to 13.16 94. Geelong initially pretended to win by 7, with the match fixing (15 points like the officially fixed 1971 Grand Final) used a “back-up” because the other forms of cheating didn’t work. They also fixed the match to attempt to deprive St Kilda FC of the income from the guaranteed two further finals, a Grand Final, and real possibility of another Premiership. It would have been a financial bonanza in their opinion.

As it finally stands now, St Kilda won the game 14.13 97 to Geelong [DSQ] in the official doping convictions. St Kilda FC receiving the equivalent of a retrospective “walkover” win in every other Final for the year, in technical terms.

Lockett was officially listed as kicking 127 for the year, +1 for the Elim' Final 1^st quarter incorrect score. Lockett would have played in at least two more finals matches (possibly 3), and would have needed (around) 22 goals to hit 150 for the year, the league record. 

Given that more incorrect scores were deliberately paid when he shot for goal during the year, Lockett would have been a realistic chance to kick his 150th and break the league record in the Grand Final (including during a win), if he met his season average or better for each game. He also missed the 120 point win over the Brisbane Bears in Round 23.

St Kilda should have played Hawthorn in the 1991 Second Semi Final. The Saints now the Premiership team, regardless. Looking forward to it.

The Elimination Final would be one of the great classics if St Kilda FC had been credited with it's win on the day. 8 points was "a little slender" of what it would have been though. But, it is difficult to explain to cheating addicts the consequences on the form and technique of deciding to cheat, and running through the process to do it, before the game even happens. Sometimes they just don't understand it adversely affects their ability to play.  

Danny Frawley became St Kilda FC's 4th Premiership Captain in sequence of years (officially, after factoring in disqualifications. Baldock, Smith, Trott & Frawley).

Anthony Lockett has therefore added a Norm Smith medal and Premiership medal to his St Kilda FC collection, which includes winning just about everything in the clubs "resurrection" year of 1987. He should have played in a Final though, and was ineligible to play in the now confirmed (via match fixing convictions) Reserves Premiership Grand Final win in 1987.
