Milne's first goal this Friday.

[philtee]

Would love to see the little fella kick one in the first five minutes against Collingwood. The feelgood factor would be enormous.
It would make him the greatest goal-kicker at Etihad, on 300, ahead of Lloyd. It would get that milestone bogey out of the way (for the fans anyway).
It would stick it up MM.
At least it would mean we're on the scoreboard!
It would also fire up that rolling chant of "Mil-neeeeee" which sounded so good at Etihad a few weeks back. And it would give us some ammo to suggest
to the AFL that we should re-name the Coventry end as "the Milne end".
I'm sure the Magpie fans won't mind paying tribute to one of the League's greats in such a way.

prediction:

5 mins to go in the last
we are up by two goals and dominating a puffed out collingwood (LOL)
milne kicks his first for the game, breaking the record
and 20 thousand muppets run on to the ground to touch him and tell him that he is the greatest

momentum gone
pies win by a goal

Stop it your reminding of the prelim Vs Port Adelaide when Gehrig kicked his hundred

It was in the first Quarter, Port were always going to come back. I have heard people say we lost it because of that, load of rubbish.

How can you say that???

Nobody knows if they were always going to come back. We can only go by what actually happened and there was absolutely NO doubt at all they were being run all over and we had enormous momentum that completely changed after that incedent and play restarted giving them time to regroup.

[philtee]

Another factor was G. Wanganeen pulling 2 Captain's goals out of his oort
at crucial moments in the last quarter.

[SainterK]

Would LOVE to hear the Milney chant when he does.

Do it.

[mohannair]

Would love to see the little fella kick one in the first five minutes against Collingwood..

Not 5 min. Phil, I say with the first 30 sec.

[Toy Saint]

My wish is for Milne to run into an open goal in the first 5 mins and kick the ball smack into Joffa's face. His nose will be broken and he will bleed red blood on his black and white jumper

Anyone who'd run on the ground because a Saints player became the highest goal scorer at a certain venue would need to be looked at in the head. It's a nice little milestone, but not one to interrupt a game for...

I just hope we win, don't care if he doesn't get 300 at Etihad until next year as long as he's contributing...

[milney044]

Well I hope the Saints fans get behind Milney and chant his name 'cause the opposition are likely to be chanting a word that's not so nice. So chant Milney's name and help drown out the filthy, feral crowd that is Collingwood.

[saintbrat]

attention is good Hype is OK over the top expectation may not be good

Just be yourself Milney...

Well it didn't exactly help and from I remember they hardly touched the ball at that point then they got a goal after it. It's the type of luck you need in tight games.

John Nicholls was asked: "what one thing do you need to win a flag?". His answer was: "LUCK".

and then we all chant: "game over JOFFA...Ya flog"

So true! Exactly what killed our run that season

Getting excited about Friday night! That's for sure

[Ice Wolf]

Could we have a rolled up banner set up over the Coventry sign so that when Milney kicks the record it unfurls and covers up the name with Milne. would be awesome, but only for the record breaking game other than that leave the ends named as they are.

[noob]

I hope he just effectively plays his role in the team

[perfectionist]

No doubt, all at the stadium will rise as one to applaud the feat.

What's the betting that Seven's coverage might catch a glimpse of the Collingwood coaching box after it happens?

[Enrico_Misso]

I simply don't see why anyone is getting excited about a contrived record like this.

500 career goals is a huge milestone coming up for him (20 to go).
But 300 goals at a comparatively new venue?
Beating Matthew Lloyd's "record".
Who really cares?
If Docklands was built in 1990 Lloyd might have kicked 600 there.

Let's celebrate a win.
And not irrelevant contrived meaningless records.

Well I suppose the rest of us will have to congratulate Milney without your support then EM

Napoleon was asked whether he preferred courageous generals or brilliant generals. Neither, he replied; he preferred lucky generals.

[Sobraz]

It'd be borderline racist for Milney to kick this 'milestone' against the Magpies...
