Milney's 11-goal game
Back in 2005, most of us remember him kicking 11 against Brisbane.
But I didn't realise that that's now more than any current player has kicked in a game, according to this article:
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/t ... 5873016828
which adds some more, richly deserved, recognition for the guy, who we all love despite him being an annoying little sod. His 200 games will feel good for everyone.

I was there!! What a night. Will never forget the milney chant going up around the ground. I think goal no. 10 (or might have been 11) i remember thinking surely not, was well out from a virtually impossible angle. But everything he touched turned to gold that night. I also recall this was the same night i Aker got cleaned up off the square by i think it was hamill?

As well as the fact his goals have played a significant role in our team making the finals.clarky449 wrote:Can we just enjoy and talk about Milnes performances without bringing up his interstate and finals record
I was really happy to read that article from Crawf. It's about time he received a bit of recognition for what he's achieved.
From reading this thread even some of our own supporters can't appreciate how hard it is to average 2 goals a game as a small forward over such a long period of time.

Ah, i love it when people bring up this game That game was so good i made a DVD of it, Milney's signed it too so pretty happy with that . Never have i seen a player (or team!) dominate a game like that one. A game I'll never forget and the best feeling chanting his name.
Now all i need is that 200 Game Stephen Milne highlights package - seriously, someone get on to it!!
