the always put resting midfielders in the FP.

I think phil matera and jeff farmer would be the only two exceptions.

Or they pick a young gun with 1 season and 10 fewer goals than milne :lol:

Should he be in the AA team, yes.

Will he be named, no.

If he keeps kicking goals he will make AA for sure. Le cras made it last year as a specialist small forward. Heard Leigh matthews talking about it last week . Specialist small forward is back in vogue.

I'll give you another exception Neon Leon in 2009.

Davis' numbers in 09, 35 goals from 23 games, Milne's 09 figures 46 goals from 23 games. Says it all.

Should be , but probably won't due to the lack of respect he gets from the media and broader football community.
Thankfully for milney after 10+ years , he is slowly turning this around .

However I would love somebody to rig up a couple of microphones for next weeks game , down the collingwood cheer squads end , so the football world could hear the glowing respect they have for him. :lol:

His forward tackling is inferior to that of Garlett and Betts. Having said that, he's putting forward a very strong case.

You should hear what glowing reverence Mark McClure has for the old tip rat. Nearly guaranteed that if you listen to grandstand today you will hear the phrase "beats up against weaker teams" and something along the lines of "goes missing in finals/big games/" Hmm yes I seem to remember differently in last years finals series Mark! To the tune of 3,2,2,2 including a clutch goal in the last Q of GF#1.

Don't often disagree with your opinion dcstkfc but horribly wrong here. Milney's workrate the last 18 months or so in this area is second to none of small forwards.

aren't the fwd pockets in the All Aust team just two more sports for midfielders?

Look at the story last week on how Milne should be in the StKilda team of the Century by the end of the article yes Milne was in but on the bench and Lenny was in the fwd pocket

His consistent 10 year performance is now "forcing" the media to give Milny his just deserts. Well done Milny.

Surely there's a chance... we've seen the media finally start to turn this year as they wake up to Milney's career achievements.

I live in hope anyway... would love to see Milne get AA, Dal would have to be a shoo-in too.
