Another big game- the last three grand finals. They're both serial offenders when it comes to choking in big games.
how many small fwds have had great grand finals??
It's not about dominating the match, it's about making the most of your opportunities- which the subjects have both failed to do.
Milney and Schnadzo seem to be escaping criticism.....

If we are dropping guys because they may not be part of the next preimership side then we may end up with no players. Milney has had a good year and certainly deserves his spot. And last night he was far from the only forward stuggling. The question is are the forwards stuggling because of their form or because of the way we play.clisaint wrote:That's the question, isn't it?

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh so could it be that the ball droping short or going over the forwards head like it did 90% of the time last night was the reason we lost hmmmmmmmmmm so if that is the case Milne had nothing too do with the lost and this post is quite pointlessplugger66 wrote:If we are dropping guys because they may not be part of the next preimership side then we may end up with no players.

so its not just collingwood fans who hate Milne it seems like a fair few of St Kilda fans dont think much of him either what a sad state we are in
he is one of the BEST forwards this club has ever had

Personally I think every game is a big game.
It is, after all, an elite competition.
Milne is doing what he always does - see stats - and is still a valuable piece of our machinery.
On the Australian cricket selector logic shown by many on this site West Coast would be dropping Embley, Cox and Kerr.

"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
Who was on Schneider?
13 possessions, 12 uncontested, no scores, no assists....and a ridiculously long run up.
Milne I'm not too surprised, I've said before that Hunt traditionally does pretty well on him. I think that's because he is one of the only true small defenders left and Milne does better when he can run rings around someone who is a mismatch in size.
