kicked two in the last quarter of the NAB cup final, which we won by about four points.

kicked two in the last quarter against essendon to snuff out their chances.

kicked seven tonight in a team that won by 3 points.

who else is kicking goals?

[St. Luke]

Never write off Milney. He has natural talent and IS a match winner! Good on ya Milney!! You beauty!

(also, the game was way toooooooooo close!)

[Sainterone]

Well done Stevie Milne - great effort tonight.

[Dan Warna]

plays well in front of goals, very ordinary when running around the wing or HBF, good to see him building a solid year in 08.

[esaint66]

Good a good look at the medal as i gave him a high 5 when he was walking down the race . Great game tonight.

[Enrico_Misso]

Wow - did Milney win the Ian Stewart medal ?

How good is that ?
I don't think Hird ever won one of them.

[asiu]

the train huffing his way towards the wing , milne running around outback .....but you win by kicking goals

Good to see you've highlighted the more important outcomes of his performance tonight.

Good work Milne.....Didn't know who won it until I saw that medal around your neck

*There wasn't a presentation of anything...no announcement at the ground.

[saintbrat]

he had it on when leaving the ground- anyone see on TV- I haven';t watched the replay in total yet- someone must ahve presented it? ch ten chose the winner.

[milney044]

He was interviewed after the game and then had it given to him not long after.. i dont think it was officially presented because not even i saw it and believe me, i would have looking forward to watching the replay.
Great game milney, match winning performance.

and I thought he was the major catalyst in us getting back into the game last week agaist PA

[super dooper]

All i can say it is amazing what happens when u plant him the forward 50 and he doesnt go searching for kicks up the ground.

If he has games where he has 2 kicks, so be it, if we persist and he applies defensive pressure he will eventually have games like he did last night.

[Sainterone]

Milne's seven goals last night takes him to 289 and he leapfrogs George Young and Nicky Winmar into P9 on the all-time list of goals kicked for the Saints.

He's now eyeing off the 300 mark and those players just ahead of him:

Barry Breen 308
Allan Davis 308
Cowboy Neale 301
Spider Everitt 299

[Hawkesbury Saint]

I only caught the third quarter and then the last. I am looking forward to looking at the replay.

I can't see every game and it's mostly on the TV (though I do get to Melbourne for a couple of games each year).

However I make this observation and wonder if it is easily contradicted by you who are closer to the action than Darwin.

I don't think I have seen Milney as confident nor demanding of the ball as a forward since his night out of 11 against the Lions. He seemed to present really well last night and play with amazing confidence in his own ability to gain the ball and do something constructive with it. I'm not sure if the G-Train's present struggle, Kosi's run in the ruck and/or Roo going off inspired him to take forward line leadership but I thought his whole attitude to the need and his role was transformed last night.

Am I reading too much into it? I thought he honestly showed signs of greatness at a l;evel he has struggled to hit consistently for quite some time. I know footy is a 'head' game and players thrive on self-belief all the time. It just looked like Milney had it all together last night.

For goodness sake I'm glad someone did.

Onya Milney you were fantastic from what I saw!

[Sainterone]

Yeah, I saw that too Hawkesbury Saint.
For a guy who is so regularly run down here, I think he has a strong leadership ethic.

I think he might have put his hand up for the leadership group a few seasons ago.

I am a firm believer in leading by example on the field - Milney did that last night.
