Milnes goal?

[Caviar]

Re: Milne's Goal Vs Port - Where does it rank?

It was a very good goal but is being way overrated. Seeing it live i thought the commentators went way over the top with how good it was. I prefer a goal that goes through on the full rather than getting a lucky bounce, lets face it, it was an inside out torpedo that landed perfectly on its point to go through. Absolute fluke there is no way he was trying an inside out torpedo and just as lucky bounce. Not like Brendan Fevola or Leon Davis' goal that was purposely kicked to bounce the way it did.

I rate Nathan Jones' goal marginally below it but im sure there will be a better goal kicked this year.

I wonder what sort of comments would be made in this thread if it was Leigh Montaga that kicked that goal?

 

[Rassilon]

wow pie fans have thin skins and thick heads - how about judging the goal not the man.
and think on this - if a confirmed liar gives someone a label, who but an idiot would believe it?

Assuming you're referring to Malthouse, I think you have your chicken and egg the wrong way around.

Malthouse called him what he did because, for many, Milne already has that label, regardless of whether he did it or not.

Malthouse didn't just whip a random slur out.

Malthouse called him that because he's a small minded, foul mouthed, imbecile-without a modicam of self control. But yes, the goal as great as it was, unfortunately won't be given the respect that it deserves-outside Saints.

Agree, if Milne can pass a lie test where he confirms that he was trying an inside out torp that would land on its point and bounce at right angles then, ok, Milne is the greatest ever.

As it stands, he was simply hanging around over the back of the pack, was the first bloke there, threw his foot at it and got lucky. He barely hit the ball, hence the vertical torpedo.

Good goal but hardly a good example of the skills of AFL.

It is a shame that is all Milne is good at, flukes

stop embarrassing yourself and perpetuating the myth that Sydney supporters know sweet FA about football.

Yep only took him 10 years of AFL and tens of thousands of hours of training to be in that exact position at that exact moment with the exact skills required to kick that precise goal.

Anyone can do it

Re: Milne's Goal Vs Port - Where does it rank?

lol

Well he craps all over Daicos, Didak and Davis for goals for a start - shall we start there?

Most reasonable commentators are starting to rank him in the top 2-3 small forwards to have played the game.

Re: Milne's Goal Vs Port - Where does it rank?

Will go close to goal of the year.

What I find more amazing is that St Boring actually kicked 6 whole goals in just one game of football

4.17 ring a bell?

He didn't mean for it to do what it did though (inside out torp, right angle bounce, etc) and to claim he did is folly. He kicked it and hoped for the best which is what he got and good luck to him. It is not a slight on Milne, he was good enough to get there and good enough to get something on the ball. Fate/luck looked after the rest.

It is like me claiming I hit the perfect golf shot because it was a hole in one, but failing to mention that I cold topped it, it bounced off a rock on the edge of a lake, ran through a bunker and rolled up to the cup and somehow dropped! Sure it is a hole in one, but it is not what I was trying to do on the tee. It would probably be the most miraculous shot I will ever hit, but definately wont be the best shot I ever hit.

Collingwood supporters.

You little ripper Milney (possibly the best crumber in the history of the game.)

St kilda Supporters

Then what should we think of Milne who called Licuria a P.....ter. The goal was good, not great. Doesn't deserve to win, but you can never tell what those morons are going to judge, remember Matthew Lloyds.

oh and btw when saying he craps all over daicos for goals - i hope you werent talking about the amount of goals kicked

Milne - 388
Daicos - 549

bare in mind that daicos played a lot of his career in the middle when his body allowed him - so he finished averaging 18 possessions a game, back when possessions were hard to come by..

collected 93 brownlow votes - to milne's 24

basically daics has milne covered in every facet of the game.

 

[Big R]

I can't stand the guy, but that is one of the best goals I have seen. Can't see that get beaten for goal of the year. I also don't think you can call it a fluke if he meant it.

It is an insult to the game to even compare Milne to Daicos.

 

[MF]

Putting my hatred for Milne aside (as other posters seem to be having trouble doing) that was one of the best goals I've ever seen.

Yes, it was lucky that it went in, the kind of thing that would only happen 1 in 20 attempts at best but the intent was there and so was the execution.

I generally think the most overrated goals are the ones that players dribble along the ground at tight angles. They're really not as hard as they look when you know how to weight the ball properly and have it bounce end over end, angled towards goal. Obviously it's a much harder task doing this under AFL game pressure than down at the park with your mates but the same principles in executing the skill still apply. I think that bannanas or checksides are a harder skill to master.

Milnes goal was simply freakish, I don't think many players would attempt it, let alone be able to execute it. Great goal IMO.

 

[Nardz]

im not denying it is a good goal.

im not denying it will most likely be goal of the year.

the part that makes me laugh is the "best goal ever" call and the "best small forward ever" call.

 

[chelseacarlton]

It was luck arse whatever you want to call it shouldnt be GOY!
Inside out torp and bounce,yeh do it again!
Give me the Kieren Jack goal anyday,over an assy volley!!

 

[DavidX]

LOL @ all the Milne haters pretending he kicked it by accident.

It was an absolute fluke. You couldn't possibly intentionally kick that goal.

The most important stat
Premierships:
Daicos - 1
Milne - 0

Daicos revolutionised goal kicking. All these goal sneaks that all teams seems to have now days are all by products of Daicos's legacy.

 

[DavidX]

It was an absolute fluke. You couldn't possibly intentionally kick that goal.

And yet he did just that.
Just because I couldn't and probably you couldn't, doesn't mean that Milne couldn't.
He kicks goals like this all the time, usually with the ball in his hands.
However he has clearly improved to the point that he no longer even needs to use his hands.
What's so difficult to believe about that ?

Perhaps your Milne-hatred is affecting your judgement and
preventing you from giving him any credit for his brilliant skills ?

Re: Milne's Goal Vs Port - Where does it rank?

GOTY by a country mile.

I loathe Milney but that was a touch of class mixed with arse. He knew what he was doing and it paid off. Yes it was a fluke, but he knew what he wanted to do and it came off.

Won't beat that one this year!

 

[bulldogsman]

He never even struck the ball cleanly though, the ball was spinning unusually and could have bounced anywhere. It was a fluke goal and unworthy of goal of the year.
