It's been wonderful watching Milney over the last decade and a bit. He's the best small forward of the modern era; a St Kilda champion.

Dal Santo just misses out.

Lot of time for Kosi - I too like his honesty and down to earth approach. Sure, never reached the heights of those expectations but has been a good contributor. I think he did at stages...just the head clashes he took really took a toll... i feel he was robbed in a way... <edited by MODS> luck with...

I'll give you Fisher, but everyone knew Goddard would be a star. The frustration was that he didn't hit the ground running.

I can't go past that game against Hawthorn, I think in 2009, where we rested all our guns - still won - and Armitage took the 3 votes.

The signs are there and we are fast-tracking many youngens at the moment. Signs of what? Our best players week in, week out are the same guys that were our best players 5 years ago. That is the genuine worry for me, that there hasn't been anyone to come through - Jack Steven perhaps is the only exc...

To be fair, he's always struggled to jump.
McEvoy's tap work has to get better if he's going to become an AFL standard ruckman. I know his work around the ground is pretty good, but he's there primarily for his height in the ruck. He's not agile and nimble enough to play any other position.

When I've seen him play, I've been fairly unimpressed. Proven to be average at AFL level is perhaps one way to look at it.
I'd be looking to the WAFL/SANFL/VFL before Mitch Brown.

I hear the boy from Lorne, off the Great Ocean Road, Jack Steven came from the Geelong Falcons footy factory...

Welcome back Milney, kick 10 goals mate!

He's doing some good work with East Fremantle now: http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western ... 6664363467

Milne has certainly silenced his critics.

We'll probably waste pick 3 on him

Will always struggle.

It is a big issue

this is the truth , wat can he or club do. We have invested so much in him, can he work his game around this. Sum pretty harsh comments people forget he is 21 very very young

McEvoy will be 24 next month.

Stanley rucked for a bit and went forward and kicked a couple, which was good to see - especially that 60m pearler. Frankly I thought Stanley showed more in the ruck today than either McEvoy or Hickey.

Didn't Saad kick around 30 goals last year?
Geez, obviously the guy has some ability. He's still relatively young by AFL standards and is going to have the odd shocker.

It's not as if being a St Kilda forward right now is the easiest job in the world either.

#3? If we go into the Melbourne game with the same intensity we showed in the first quarter today we might be looking at pick #2. Knowing our luck, we'll be the game Melbourne actually come out to play against, or are trying to impress their new coach in, etc. We have a habit of playing bad teams in...

Munga wrote:I'm not just talking about today. His entire AFL career to date, he aint close to an average ruckman. Good around the ground clunking big marks, not a ruckman.

We started looking better today when Stanley went into the ruck.
McEvoy didn't do much, and Hickey is very much looking like a wasted pick.

I think we can safely say that this will be the week.

Huh? Has Cornes even played this year?

Thanks Dragit - saved me. These people living off Milnes glory days.....FFS if we do that we will merely delay the inevitable re-build. Hes done - time to move on. 550+ goals means he has some credits in the bank. He's down on last year but he's got some company there. There should be plenty of pla...

We need to take a deep breath because in a few weeks time no one will remember or care that we lost to the dogs, a bit like when we lost to the Suns at the start of the season..

And spare me "we've been shyte before......so we can handle that" rubbish - this side has spent the last decade DEMANDING respect from the football world.......are we now going to slink back to "pathetic old St Kilda?" We're already back there unfortunately. I think you'll find ...
