bj will have to kick them 300 metres as he is sitting in the stands tonight.


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

There was absolutely nothing in our prelim against them last year. Though we were the best team all year, i felt disappointed we didn't convincingly enter the grand final. We scraped through because the dogs missed some crucial shots at goal. Likewise we lost the grand final because of that..

Anyway, not really keen on playing the dogs yet. There's something far more important to worry about.

The dogs are everyones ladida pretty special sentimental favourites. They're so poor and tortured so the sympathy rains down on them. I will never have pity for them, they are a threat to our chances and must be treated with equal brutality.

Don't really want the saints taking tonight too seriously. Just have some fun, it's pre-seasons. Lets see a few Milney bananas, a few Goddard 300m 9 pointers, but a win isn't too big of a deal.
Ah but deep down there's fear for them. In their mind's deepest darkest recesses... 'Please don't let St Kilda win a flag before us. Pleeaassee.'

At the source, they're terrified.

It's a significant weakness.


"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

haha oh...right. Didn't know that!

Then Milne should roll a few through on the ground from ridiculous angles to make up for goddards absence.

Just one question. Is it better getting into another Gf and losing Lenny for a week or the opposite. And yes I know we dont get an option.

Who's to say he wouldn't have sustained a more serious injury in some outback town in New South Wales. Of course I'm not happy about his injury. :roll: Sorry for being happy about getting to see the boys play on my birthday though. :P

True, he could have hurt it anywhere
Would rather him hurt it early in the year and be ready at Round 22 and beyond. Missed round 1 last year but had a fantastic season.
