Didak!!! Thirty seven goals this year as against Stephen Milne with 51. I guess playing for Collingwood means you only need to be two thirds of the player of other teams to get a gig. Stephen Milne should be a walk up start - easily the best small forward of the last decade - who has just kept on getting better and better. No-one comes close to his stats (see below). Lenny Hayes and Brendon Goddard should be the other two Saints.

I refer people to his left handed gather of the contested ball with 20 seconds to go against Geelong (not to mention his 3 goals).
Montagna is talked up and definitely a hope, but his late H and A form was not as strong as his early season form.
Dal Santo a slight chance, but there's a lot of good midfielders out there.
"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!'
"He spoke of his stride, his power and his willingness to push himself to exhaustion. All of the things that are on display each weekend in the No 12 jumper" Garry Lyon

Milne wasn't in the squad of 40
Was what I thought it should be. Not what I reckon it'll be.
Shoulda specified that...
