Napoleon Bonaparte was invading England. One day he was standing in his tent when one of his generals rushed in. “Emperor, there’s 1000 enemy troops coming over the hill.”
“General”, Napoleon said. “Fetch me my red jacket”.
“Why do you want that?”, the general said.
“So when they cut me, they won’t see me bleed.”
The general walked out of Napoleon’s tent truly in awe of his commanding officer. 15 minutes later he rushed back in again “Emperor, original estimates were wrong. Its actually 100,000 enemy troops coming over the hill!”
There was a pause and then Napoleon said:
“General, fetch me my brown corduroys”.

Josh Battle, FWD $ 117,300, expected to debut for St Kilda Friday night against Essendon
Battle is a mid sized forward. He doesn’t get a lot of the ball but he’s highly skilled and certainly knows where the goals are. Has a lot of potential and should be a regular senior player within a couple of years. Still at high school he has hit the scoreboard regularly at Sandringham and deserves his chance but… He will probably go out when Membery comes back from suspension.
I expect some good news at the selection table.
Greene , JJK , JPK , Howe all to be named and , hopefully play.. Gazza to be named , but will face a fitness test tomorrow.
In not so positive news i saw footage of Oliver limping with what looked like an ankle injury all through the Dees training session today. Obviously will travel to Alice Springs , but must be in some doubt and a chance of being a late out.
This better happen as i can’t take another week without JJK, he was killed me too much already
He is in.
Already confirmed Greenwood is back.
I’m gonna deck Scott Thompson on Saturday
Just you wait and see
#YearOfTheHyphen #NTUA
I doubt that you could put a dent in fairy floss.
I am tipping Scotty to kick more goals that you this match.
Good News for Stef Martin owners with Archie Smith dropped.
Mason Cox dropped also. Maybe we’ll get some premium scores from the premium rucks this weekend?
Williams back, JPK back, Greenwood back. No one out either.
Hmm… SC gods, what are you up to?!
The calm before the storm
with the rubbish naming of teams and then “late outs” lately, I’ll believe they are playing 5 mins before the bounce!!!!
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME PLAYER JAY KENNEDY HARRIS IS BACK!
Been averaging 40 possies in the twos, might be eating those words soon.
Not this year, I bet, but soon.
Who to trade in for SPP (via DPP)
TU: T Lynch
TD: Buddy
Don’t think I will be able to loop hole this week so who do I have on the field
TU: Parsons
TD: Greenwood
Great teams this week – no major surprises!!
Who to trade scooter out for:
T/up Zorko
T/down Titch
Both have great runs home – particularly in the SC finals.
Have an important league match this week – so would like the person I bring in to score well this week in particular.
My opponent has Titch, but surely Scooter / Geelong works him over this week at Skilled?
Zorko is probably going to get more attention too, but do Richmond have any decent taggers? Zorko seems to go pretty well at Etihad.
Tictch lowest score this year 85 v geelong
with the amount of trades i have left i was hoping Strnadica would get a game….
Playing ol’ Motts in LOEC1 this week. Expecting Motlop to hit 200
