Stephen Milne - Match Winner

[Sainterone]

...sounds better than trade bait (tongue in cheek or not).

Great to see Milney win another match for us (and such an important one too)

When we had such trouble finding the goals we needed, Milne stepped up to do the job for us. (7 goals)

[BigD]

The Round 22 Specialist!

[st_Trav_ofWA]

my god my love for the little bugger has increased ten fold !!! bloody little champ !!!

[Ryanstein]

has truly come of age this year

go back and watch the nab cup and his leadership then

Stephen Milne for PM.. little champion!

[evertonfc]

For all the torment the little bastard has put us through, he's given us some great moments.

The second half of 2008, he's emerged as a team-oriented, damaging, clever, smart and hard-working player. And courageous.

What more could you want?

Keep it up son.

[Sainternist]

Possibly the most unpredictable player to put on a St.Kilda jumper. But boy, is he exciting when he decides to tune in!

[borderbarry]

I know it wont happen, but Milney should make AA this year. There is no better small forward in the game.

[doristhesaint]

The little fella loves the club.

[Sainterone]

...and 23 disposals today is his best effort ever!!

[saintly_safes]

I said about 2 weeks's ago that Steven Milne needed to do something special to hold his place on the saints list & boy has he delivered . Just goes to prove if we can play an attacking stlye of game & get the ball into our forward line quickly it gives our small forwards an opportunity to reap the rewards

[stinger]

anybody who posted in here that milne should be traded should cut their right index finger off......and i'm serious......

[The Saintsational Man]

Milne is an absolute gun.

Just as much heart and guts as anyone out there.

Gotta love him.

[perfectionist]

THe last three weeks have been his "best ever"!

And today, HE was the one who was responsible for the percentage effort.

If ever you wanted to see how force of mind can control a situation, today was it with S. Milne.

[midas_touch]

Have always been a fan but Milney has been a revelation since getting dropped mid season. Has become a lot more team oriented, and has never been as consistent as he has now. 54 goals for the year, which makes him the leading small forward in the competition is testament to his performances this year. Good onya Milney .

[SainterK]

I believe the turnaround has been due largely to the wider football community embracing Milne since he's heroics in WA. It's the first time that a little bit of R.E.S.P.E.C.T (outside of the Saints supporter base of course) has headed his way. Does a lot for one's self esteem....maybe Milne needs to feel the love in a manner of speaking?

Well, if he's not "feeling" it now, he never will!

[WayneJudson42]

I'm 90% sold on the guy. Let's see if he can now back it up in a finals series. If he does, could be the diff b/n a flag and another wasted year IMO.

[St.Kenny]

have always backed this bloke against the knockers

How has he given us torment?

He has averaged 2 goals a game as a small forward over 150 games.

[i_luv_nick_riewoldt]

Milney has been fantasitic-he wears his heart on his sleeve! Absolute champ, he is always one of those players that makes you sit on the edge of your seat when he has the ball- will he kick a goal or will be get run down and tackled! Such a passionate player!! He definitly fires up the crowd when he kicks goals!

[JohnE]

And to think he lined up for the bombers and beat the Saints in the 1999 Reserves Grand Final...

[markp]

What a gun!

Here's hoping he can immortalize himself in the finals....
