Yep, like the previous coach......and the current coach that dropped him to the seconds last week.Little Dozer wrote:Fantastic effort! And to think some people wanted to "exit" him out...
Milney plays well - Makes the doubts look like fools.
Milney plays poorly - Makes the believers look like idiot.
If is fair to say that Milne has had some great games.....and some really poor ones.
So its comments like the above that make me really wonder how people think.
My thoughts are - just let him play.
I have stated many times I just want to see him go no further than the 50 arc, kick his goals and improve his chasing and corralling, which I reckon he has done.
He puts in some shockers, but he puts in some rippers.
I sat with Tigers people a few weeks back and they were all worried about Milne breaking out - funny to see it from their angle - and he did - and won the game for us.
Just let Milney be Milney and he'll win more games - or contribute - more than he'll lose us games.

He plays a position where it's not really possible to boot 4 or 5 every week. Sure, he does have the odd shocker here and there but we look a more dangerous team when he is in it, and the fact that he has booted over 300 goals is testament to that.Spinner wrote:Yep, like the previous coach......and the current coach that dropped him to the seconds last week.Little Dozer wrote:Fantastic effort!

arrrhhh.... the names bring back a flood of memories........i loved peter bennett and billy young......so did my sister........one of my earliest memories is of my sister in her pusher at the side of the old st kilda cricket stand yelling out ...come on peter bennett......i wish roo could kick as accurately as billy......he would be the afl's no 1 star if he could...billy never missed..
...for good clean looks and silky smooth footy skills you couldn't go past george young.....loved him too....
...ahhhrrr....cuz...you are never far from my thoughts ...and prayers....
...cowboys a friend...but he's a rude prick.....could play footy all the same....
went to school with breen...he was a couple of years behind me though....
named one of my kids after plugger....changed it though.....by common usage...notdeed poll...i will leave that to "neil elvis' when he turns 21.....
spider......???...what can you say...loved him once though...like plugger......love can turn to dislike then hate...like a rejected/rejecting partner.....billy mohr......i'm told he could really play.....
alan davis...started out as a 17 year old rover in his first game....grew over summer into a size caplable of playing most positions.....including full forward.....ratbag.....shame really....
stewie...loved him too...still do...a real gentleman ...my son's favorite.....
we all love fraser...
roo...what can i say that i haven't already said......except that he will end up one of the saints all time greats when he leads the saints to a second premiership......
milney...i knew he could play when i first saw him in the dons premiership win against us..then the following week in the don's game against the hawks in london....nothing since has made me change my mind........'nuff said.....

aaaaaaaah yes stinger me old pal...those smooth footy skills were just sublime I agree.
Now for those good clean looks.....awh my gawd..... like a good bottle of red wine he has matured oh so delightfully, belieive me.
He comes to our Western Saints functions and all this ole girl wants to do is droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah stinger me ole mate he still has those good clean looks and not an ounce of extra body fat on him. Looks like he can run off that half forward line with that raking leftfoot and put it right through the centre of the major posts.
Gee stinger didn't realise you were in love with him at that time too! I think my sex might have turned him on more that yours....he does bring a son to the Western Saints functions who looks just like him so I think my approaches would have won out over yours in those days mate
Cheers

feast or famine? he scored at least 1 goal 125 of his 150 games.Sainternist wrote:Imagine if it wasn't feast and famine with Milney? He'd probably have close to 500 to his name by now.
Still kudos to the little fella. Has brought us some memorable moments.
if he had scored 500 goals from 150 games that would make him one of the greatest small forward of all time with a 3.3 goal average
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
even phil matera who many argue is one of the most brilliant small forwards of the modern era managed only 2.9, and daics himself, the legend of collingwood scored 550 goals from 250 games, and 97 of them came from just 1 season.
i think the expectations on Milne are ridiculous and their is insufficient appreciation for what he has achieved.
he is one of the top 3 small forwards in the competition for goal delivered in this decade.
1. phil Matera
2. Jeff Farmer
3. yapper Milne.
and folks are condeming him because he hasn't delivered more

well said, dan. imo the best small forward in the competition and has won us three or four games this season. it is a fact of life that small forwards tend to be a bit hot and cold

Robert Harvey- Simply the best
nice work reiwoldt moving up the charts...
5 or 6 more season he'll be a comfortable second.
play his last few years when he slows down some at FF, yablett style, could shoot for no.1
i reckon reiwoldt if we used him as such, could be 80 goal FF.
