Grant Thomas was spot on regarding Milne.

MILNE is a gun. End of thread. 200 games, 400 goals. He will reach THAT this year. best small forward of the last 10 years ... name one better?? with better stats? go on!! oh you cant???

If people could put their crap behind em he is amazing player with great skill I've seen him kick some goals that make you scratch ya head... anyone saying otherwise is just being silly. GT didn't know how to coach him (like many others) and as for Grand final day?? yeah didn't have a great day like ALL our forwards but he did the 1%s that you idiots dont see he isnt just a one trick goal sneak anymore ...His pressure and leadership is fantastic these days - TOP 22 a given.

He epitomises this great game of ours and what its about. He keeps going and going and going even when d*&6heaDS try to derail him. As for celebrating too much?? WTF?? maybe when he was 21 but geez everytime he runs into an open goal he never boots it out of the stand he dribbles it just across the line, high fives and thats it!! whats wrong with that? he has matured you fools - you guys should too.

Always be a big fan of Milne, sure he had a horror GF but he knows that as much as anyone and i'm sure he was more dissapointed in himself rather then what anyone else can throw at him as an insult.

He sure looks hungry to make amends.

I feel a big season coming from him! 70+ goals

I am also an accredited & experienced Football coach, so maybe my views come from my experience in this area, rather than as a teetotaling English Teacher. Are you sure your not a Crows supporter???

As an English teacher who is literally drinking a cup of tea at this very moment (another good reason for typing one-handed) I am offended

Milne has 8 goals in two (NAB) games. hopefully he gets a chance to perform on the biggest stage this year and silence the doubters.
Raph... well he's Raph. What can I say? He's an enigma that Raph. I'm glad the coaching staff are making those decisions and not me. They got us very close last year and it was about the best Saintrs season I have ever seen footy-wise so I'll trust them.
