Milney.....
I was stoked with his game tonight.
A real thinking man's game.....awesome disposal, positioning, and movement throughout the park.
He is living up to his childhood hero, John Platten (although a different type of player), and worthy of the number 44.
He has the makings a clever veteran type player that may be around a few years yet.
Gone are the stupid decisions of his younger years, perhaps he will even get better???

Brilliant goal - it's funny, because you could preempt it. As he was picking up the ball you knew straight away "goal". ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

While this is a forum and freedom of speech is a right in a democratic society, I think there are a few too many experts on here who like to sink the slipper in when times aren't going our way. Sounds a bit like the Geary bashing that was going on earlier on last year. Now that guy is turning into a star! Give him Robert Harvey's jumper and it wouldn't look out of place on himsaint66au wrote:Hear hear
Almost played as a mid tonight. Whoever here said his tackling and 2nd efforts were non-existant Id trust would be feeling a bit foolish

what a star! what a goal ! and just love the way he a schnieds team up and look for each other When Schneids came I thought it might be a case of he or milney for a spot but wow they are just a super dangerous combo up there, and just seem reallt happy to give off goals to one another And relly potent back in the dry with Koz to feed off
congrats to the selectors with Eddy in under the conditions ' but I think they will have to look to going back to the missing forward tall back at home Big Mac has to be a show

He's been my favourite consistently for 7 years now and when he produces stuff like that, it's not hard to see why. An excitement machine and with his progressive improvement in his defensive side he is a very valuable, very damaging player.
he's proving the interstate hoodoo to be nothing more than a myth, a great all round performance last night.
Great job Milney, best small forward in the comp for mine!

Amazing whata bit of faith does....
One coach states that he can't play interstate...and wants to trade him.
The other shows faith and DEVELOPS him asa player..
Milne's DEFENSIVE side has improved enormously..landed 4 tackles...
Milne is now a much more complete and consiteant player....and an opposition coaches nightmare.
I also can't wait till Schneider match fit.
These two are going to cause our opponents a lot of grief.

So true SR, and especially with Milne being such a confidence player. It's just such a nice change having a coach who actually plays him rather than having him sitting on the pine for extended periods. Ross is getting the best out of him and it's a credit to them both.

Good point - I'm not sure it is great coaching - seems like the sensible thing to do to me.
But it's great to see in any case. A couple of years ago, it was very disheartening to see Milne on the wing or on the bench. Most of us knew where he should have been. Now the opposition know that there is no rest - one mistake in our fwd line and Milne pounces. Just a small opportunity and .... Goal of the Year coming up...
It does seem that our coaching panel has now got the offensive / defensive mix right - and with a bit of luck (without too many injuries) we can be very confident about the remainder of 2009.
One of the things I enjoyed last night was the booing from port supporters when port chipped it backwards - we put them under so much pressure they could not go forward. That was great.
