And by Jove, if he happens to reach that milestone in 2011, his men will have to deliver and win on that particularl day. Otherwise, we'll be looking at third straight off-season in the realms Prozac Nation, dwelling over what could have been... :(

exactly... Milne had to do some growing up also, after "that" event, and with getting dropped he saw the reality clearly written in front of him, being in a relationship may have helped also
Gt's concerns still remain (apart from the moral issue)
and yes it would be nice to quash them in a winning grand final, but until then

I'm not a fan of Grant Thomas bashers.

Okay, he's not as good a coach as Ross, but you can never call into doubt his commitment to and love for the St/Kilda Football Club. He's a Stk.Kilda man through and through. He one of us goddamit!!

Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Players like Milne are the soul of the club you don't just show them the door.

Milne is a champion, a gun and one of the best small forwards in the history of the game.

Yet Thomas stated categorically that had he not been sacked Milne's papers were stamped, he was out the door and would no longer have been at the club!

What a FAIR DINKUM imbecile!

Had Thomas not been given the flick, Milne would have played his very last game for St Kilda in 2006!

Thankfully this ignoramus was exited out and Milne exited back in!

To all the nuffies, nongs, ninnies, numbskulls numbnuts and clueless cretins who still think the sun shines out of Thomas's arse, ( yes these vacuous ones still exist believe it or not ) pull your heads out of your own and get a FAIR DINKUM CLUE!

Milne is magic!
We need him to be a champion in the finals and more importantly the Grand Finals.
Yep, done. 2 goals in each granny and smashed Hunt in the qualifier. I think he's done.

I like him on FC.

He has a good sense of humour, and I can get a glimpse into how he endeared himself to the players, being such a jolly kind of guy.

Media personality, tick from me.

Clearly. That's why he's the media's go-to man for all bad comments about the club that he apparently loves so much.

i think he calls it like he sees it. i like him on FC, you don't want a guy that just talks up the saints everytime he's asked, has some definite opinions and sticks to them.

plus he hates the umpires, can't fault that.

Ah yes......"I was under duress...."

He eats pressure for breakfast but signs away leave entitlements under "duress"....................doesnt strike me as a duress type guy...

Ah well, he still warbles on about all the "intangibles" (mental toughness, belief clouds etc blah blah)which is all just an excuse to make up for his lack of pure football technical ability as a coach.....which Lyon has in spades THANK GOD.

Regardless of which - you can't sign away a statutory entitlement. The CFO and particularly the president should take the rap for that one.

Personally I think the president tried to sweep the entitlement under the carpet, the board were furious that no records had been kept and probably his neck was on the line.

On the other hand, insisting on an overseas trip that was worth as much as the annual recruiting budget, while Collingwood were spending triple on recruiting, was the coach's call.
