Aw...what are you guys worried about? I've read the 'Whinging Supporters' thread and am now thoroughly convinced there has never been any umpiring bias against St Kilda from these guys, or any other umpire, ever!

Matthew Head is a corrupt umpire. This is known by all.
He handed the game in 2005 to Freo on a plate with ridiculous decisions throughout the game.
After the game the trustworthy Tony Jones overheard Matthew Head commenting on his delight at "getting back at Stkilda".
If only it was just the one game mate...but it's been seasons and seasons worth of silly buggers...pretty well since Ross Oakley announced he wanted us out of the league. It's a shame we wasted the only season the AFL wanted us to win...'97, when we were Victoria's 'Great White Hope' against the marauding interstaters. But, just like last week...whenever we want 'em to produce the big win we all know the Saints deserve, they come out flailing and make us feel the opposite. Sigh.
Anyway, I won't succumb to depression...we got some scores to settle this weekend, so the maggots can pay all the dodgey frees they like, report the entire side on unseen evidence whilst we are assaulted by opposition players, it won't stop the Sainters from coming home with chocco's chockies this weekend!
Are you sure you can trust anything that Tony Jones says? Like alot of other commentators he just likes to make a statement to cause a stir.
Forget the umpires if we are good enough we will beat Port.

Well it's been nearly 3 years since Tony Jones publicly aired repeatedly what he alleges Head said to him.
In that time he
hasn't resiled from his statements
hasn't retracted his statements
hasn't apologised for his statements.
BUT more importantly,
neither the Umpire concerned, the Umpires in general nor the AFL have instituted any legal proceedings over it. Nor have they demanded any sort of retraction from Jones or Ch 9.
These are the same people who threatened all sorts of retribution on James Hird over his remarks about McLaren.
What should we 'read' into this set of circumstances?
