The whole situation is very difficult. I'm treating it like I would if he was a family member or a close friend. My number one concern is for him and his family. I do know there is another party, and I also feel for her and her family, but I don't have the same connection to them as I have for Stephen.
As a Saints supporter I feel a connection. If playing footy this week helps him then I support it 100%, as I would a family member or close friend in the same situation. In saying all of this I also understand why people don't want him playing. Very tough situation for all.

Re: Sex assault victims' groups hit out Milne selection
Agree with all the above and you could also add- Play him: The club still believes in the player as they have over the last 9 years. Acknowledgement that milne is the same person he was 2 months ago ,2 years ago etc.Waltzing St Kilda wrote:Play him: massive negative publicity, club's image tarnished, sponsors shy away.
Don't play him: player unrest, AFLPA outrage, morale problems, a perception that the club has cut a great player loose in his time of need.
Terrible, terrible situation.
The winners: other clubs, the media, armchair moralists.
