Re: I will get caned for this
Understand wanting to stay away from the very ugly scene that will occur
ut not sure why any supporter would not be able to 'enjoy the game because Miline is playing'
My concern is that supporting Milney and his right to be presumed innocent and go above his normal work will be misconstrued by the media / saint / Milne haters as us saying that he not not guilty and the whole thing is a beat up - and this will have advise impaction on the other inncent party in all this the girl cncerned and in the long term Minle and the club that he loves.
The whole thing is ugly and seems galitorial at times - with people throwing around hateful insults and feeling like it is OK to do so - but that is the nature of the game - surly trick is to rise about that crap and feel OK about supporting a team and people for the right reasons ( if if they are not understood) - and not get drawn into a slanging match

Re: I will get caned for this
Respect the decision of the original post but I will definitely be going.
I will be there with bells on.
We can't all stay home...otherwise the only people there will be Carlsum, Mick Shithouse and his gang.
Yes it will be tough but it was tough watching Hawthorn beat us by 100+ points at Moorabbin in the '80s!
Go Milney!

Re: I will get caned for this
I wonder about that as wellMr Magic wrote:On a slightly different tack ......
I'm wondering how all this publicity will affect the possibility of finding jurors if the case is proceeded with (and personally I'll be surprised if he is committed for trial)?
I would think it will be tough to find a panel of people who haven't heard much about the case and not formed an opinion (one way or the other).
The more publicity this gets the harder that would seem to be.
I got selected for JD around the time of the whole Lovett mess and wondered how inappropriate it would be for me to be on that jury on the outside/low chance I was selected for that particular case.
Though the chances were minescule, I decided I'd merely state my case and let the ppl in charge decide these things.
My feeling was inappropriateness aside, I thought I could still remain impartial. Other ppl I'm sure could remain impartial too even if they have read the papers... very few would be aware of the actual details of the case.
I'm guessing many... even most on here would still believe it's a forced sex case

Not a case of me thinking he is guilty, he is entitled to the presumption of innocence, I just dont want to be involved in an ugly crowd.
I feel for everyone in this tawdry episode, including us as supporters, even though it pales into insignificance compared to what Milne, his family, the woman and her family are going through.
However I could not enjoy the game with him in the team even though I love him as a footballer.
There is too much ugliness in the world, and I fear Saturday night will be one of the ugliest crowd reactions to a player in a long long time.
I dont want to be party to that. I dont want to be involved in a mob mentality on either side. I dont want to be involved in the negativity and ugliness of it all.
So I will sit this one out. Call me soft, call me a piker, I dont mind.
Its how i feel.
Go Saints hope you absolutely thrash the Bluse and Milney kicks a bag.
I guess I am different.
I love Milne as the footballer and if I really gave a crap about Milne the person or Milne the intelligent I could probably have a better conversation with my secretary and that is saying something.
So I will happily stick up for him and play my part in the theatrics in all of this because that is what this is.
Whether Milne is guilty or innocent has literally no impact on me or my life going forward. So why not get as aggressive as the blue baggers against us?

Ask them how Doratich is going, is he still allowed to sit in a car.. what a wankermcadam05 wrote:Just remind them of Carlton's own history of its players and sexual assault , even good'ol John Elliott made it part of his shtick at sportsmen nights how he joked he payed off women who would dare too cry rape
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Hopefully we ll be winning which will make it a lot easier in the grandstands to put up with morons.
Cant believe afl chief comes out and admits the crowd will be ugly without even reminding people to be respectful of the people around you . Pretty much gave the rapist chant the green light.

Re: I will get caned for this
Agree Joffaboy. Thankfully I don't have to make the decision, but also think it could be real ugly. Would've been better to bring back next week against Port.joffaboy wrote:But cant bring myself to go on Saturday night with Milne in the team.

Disappointed your not going JB, not for the reasons you have stated, which I completely understand, just disappointed you wont be there to add to the atmosphere and enjoy your company, always a bit of fun when your there.
If you change your mind, great.

Re: I will get caned for this
Sad day when a pack of cheating Wogs turn us away from games...sad sad day.
Re: I will get caned for this
I'm a wog mate of Fireys, and I don't think he's racist...... he hates everyone equally
....and....
Only the most just, kind, eloquent and erudite wogs follow the Mighty Saints, SaintPav....... Wogs that follow other Teams are by default, "Cheating Wogs"......
..it's a sad reality I know...but it remains an undeniable universal truth similar to, "No Collingwood supporter has a full set of teeth"

For what it's worth my stepfather is Italian and often refers to himself and his family as "wogs", should I give him a lecture?

Re: I will get caned for this
Pom & Wog are not equivalent terms…
Just like Kiwi & Nigger have very different historical backgrounds & connotations.
Wog is a derogatory racial term & just because you know an Italian guy who calls himself a wog doesn't mean it's open slather. Same as an African American calling himself a 'nigger' doesn't signal open season on that term either.
b.t.w - I am not offended by this, but if you think it is okay you are kidding yourself, just saying.

One of my best mates is italian and refers to himself and his family as wogs. He dosnt have an issue with the word "wog" and would agree that society is becoming far to precious. Oh and your spot on with the reference of playing the "poms" and i bet 99% of society has no issue there!

Fortius Quo Fidelius.
I can't 'not' go. I am concerned, however, that these circumstances may keep genuine footy fans away and at the same time attract spiteful bastards who might not otherwise have bothered to be there.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

I feel it's been covered but I think to some it's more broad then just footy, if that makes sense. ( I'm not trying to take away from those who are content/very keen/ certain and all that to go or from those who don't feel any of the things in the remainder of my post)
It's not certain what the atmosphere will be like, some don't know morally how it sits with them, some don't want to take their children, some fear safety, some just don't feel they want to go - based on the events surrounding the game.
I'm a fair dinkum supporter but for various reasons that I've covered in various posts I will not be going. I'm convinced many others are also fair dinkum, but respect what ever their reasoning for not going.
Appreciate that we may not agree on this, just giving my opinion.
