Will Milney be de-listed at the end of the year??
What are the chances of milney being on the ST Kilda list at the end of the year?
A lot of the media have said he should go i disagree
I think we should keep him

There will be list changes at years end,there will be trades hopefully but it's
all guesswork and opinion until it happens......
Milne will stay is my guess but i'm betting the coaching department are talking about how to restructure the forward line come draft/trade time....

Because from 30 out he persists in dropping the ball across his boot. Which by the way, is the wrong option and just makes him look like a complete fool.mick13 wrote:That goal he kicked from the boundary brought back memories of 02-05...good ol Milney!
I'd have my life on him slotting that more than he would from 30 out on a slight angle!
Now I have to add, I love him at the same time, BUT he just dosent play the percentages and is extremely frustrating!

- 5th Highest Goal Kicker in St Kilda Club History
- 2002 St Kilda Leading Goalkicker
- Only small forward in the AFL to average 2 goals per game
- 2nd St Kilda Leading Goalkicker 2005, 2008
- On track to kick 50+ goals for the 3rd season in 2008
- Has kicked at least one goal in 17 out of 18 games played in 2008
Without this guy we would lost 2-3 goals per game from our forwardline.
What are we going to replace that with?
Milney is fantastic, and some people have no idea about the difficulty of playing in that position, especially with a forwardline into which delivery is so poor.

I hope he is delisted.
You can argue that he's kicked one per game or whatever for however many games - but what else does he do? He kicked 2 great goals last week but he contributed nothing else. No fwd pressure, no hardness at the footy, no consistency in his game whatsoever. he had 8 possessions last week (2 until half-time) including 3 clangers and 0 tackles.

2-3 per game this year ... where do we get those goals from if Milne goes? Yeah ok someone else might make 1-2 extra tackles a game and get a few more possessions, but hurting the opposition on the scoreboard and kicking goals is what we struggle with. Milne can do that.QuestionOfAccuracy wrote:I hope he is delisted.

Re: Will Milney be de-listed at the end of the year??
Hard question ,don't think we have anyone to replace him at present, maybe Schnider but hes been disapointing . He really needs to be more consistent & he not a pup anymore . Jack Steven by all accounts is an up & comer but I havent seen enough of him to make a judgement. Has been a player that has thrilled & frustrated us all over a long time but he probably need something special in the next 3 games to keep his spot.azza12 wrote:What are the chances of milney being on the ST Kilda list at the end of the year?

We've done some dumb things in the past, but trading or delisting Milne isn't going to be another one of those acts. Even though I was a big fan of GT, his idea to get rid of Milne didn't sit very favourably with me AT ALL!
I'm a big fan of Milney! Always have been, even through some of his dumb moments, I can take the good with the bad with a player of his calibre!

When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

If the team look alive, and they didn't on Saturday night...they ARE dangerous! I seriously don't know what's holding back their performance...or their desire to perform. That's the disappointing thing.

trade milne you have to be kidding. He has kicked more goals than almost any other small forward to have played the game. He is the 5th higest goal kicker in the clubs history and has kicked more goals than Riewoldt and started the same year. He has also averaged more psessiosn this year than in his career.
