Loved the arsey goal and the kiss to really stick it up them. I personally thought he handled Walker/ Carlton's tactics well and learnt a lot from his battle with O'Brien. Got a couple of frees, didn't do anything too costly - got in a couple of arm wrestles but couldn't have really helped that unle...

Timely thread given I'm currently writing up a piece on Milne over his career from a fan's perspective - for my own enjoyment given that he's been my favourite player for over 10 years! I would love him to make another All-Australian, but in all honesty I'm not hopeful given how long it has taken fo...

Here here!

I honestly dont see a huge problem with a "fken homo" Alot of the time it isint used in a way where you are calling someone a homosexual, eg the word Faggot gets used so many times now, but it isint used in a gay sort of way. Spot on and again adds to my point of our society becoming too ...

Is that seriously what the complaint is for? Seriously?! What a joke, calling someone a homo, the 'victim' doesn't even care and yet there's an uproar over it. Our society is getting way too precious and far too politically correct. You'd have to send me away for the number of times I've called some...

I really can't see how they're going to prove anything, heck the whole world could read Malthouse's lips, captured on video and all and he still got away with what he said. Just say they could prove he did say something untoward, though, what exactly would Milne's punishment be? Would he get suspend...

Well I gotta say I didn't realise MCkenzie was out, I was looking forward to him attempting the same tactic on Brendon this time around. BJ has hit good form the last couple of weeks and hopefully after suspension will rise above any of the 'behind play' stuff that goes on. Will be interesting to se...

Basically the ump paid the free because it was Milne who infringed, that's my logic because there was nothing in that at all. Milne got the raw deal all night because the umps don't like him and because he retaliates which is stupid but to pay a free kick that's not there because you have something ...

5. Hayes 4. Riewoldt 3. Montagna 2. Dal Santo 1. Goddard Thought Geary, Gilbert and Dempster were good. Dempster is the unsung hero IMO, does his job every week and takes strong marks when needed. He's been better value than Schneider overall which I didn't think would be the case when the two came ...

For a player who apparently had a poor start to the season he now has another 40 goals for the year. Please play on next year Milney, we are really going to struggle to find a replacement. He played a ripper today and I really thought he was gunna get us over the line when he nailed his 5th, sadly t...

5. Jones 4. McEvoy 3. Hayes 2. Saad 1. Ray How people are leaving Jones out of their 5 baffles me. 28 disposals at 86% efficiency, 15 contested possessions, 12 clearances and 9 tackles. He won his own ball time and time again across all four quarters. BOG by a country mile. +1. Jones was clearly be...

Got my tickets, Level 1 Aisle 38 Now here's hoping Milney plays the next 3 games and my flight back to Aus isn't delayed! I'm sick of the Bombers getting up against us, here's hoping things are about to change - it is a Saturday night at Etihad - pretty good record at this time and venue

Very enjoyable game, minus the result. And I have to mention the atmosphere too because it was electric, including the social club area which I haven't been too impressed with, but they were great and it was a fantastic contest. Looking forward to heading up to the Gold Coast this week.

Yeah we certainly ignore them, if anything it makes us yell even louder! It's still bloody annoying though to be told to shut up when we cheer for the players. If we were swearing or being racist or offensive then they might have a point, but not when we're being loud in support of the Saints. Mind ...

I can sympathise with you milney044. Used to have a reserved seat in the outer on lower level for 8 years with a mate. Had a few oldies behind us who told us to sit down after an exciting goal one day. Really pissed us off, and it never felt right tempering our enthusiasm thereafter. :evil: Ever si...

Well I wish I had the luxury of sitting around you folk who actually want to make noise. Instead, I sit in the Social Club where you are told by fellow Saints supporters to "shut up" when you shout support for the boys. I know I have mentioned this in another thread, but far out it is path...

Bloody hard!! I tried to come up with our bottom 6 by doing my top 25 right now if we had all players available and came up with this: FB: S.Dempster T.Simpkin J.Gwilt HB: J.Gram S.Fisher J.Blake C: N. Dal Santo L. Hayes L.Montagna HF: B.Goddard N.Riewoldt A.Schneider FF: A.Saad J.Koschitzke S.Milne...

I think the behind the scenes stuff the Cheer Squad do is great, from organising trips interstate to making the banner. It's the stuff at the actual games, in their seats that's the issue. I think some do try to get things going and there are a lot of good chants, like the "Milney" chants ...

I'm no longer surprised our cheer squad is so quiet, not when I sit in Social Club a few bays away. Here is an example of our "supportive" supporters in this area. It was the start of the third quarter and Riewoldt was going after the footy inside 50 and the group I was with were yelling &...

Yep I agree, our fans annoy the hell out me! I was on the 50m line, Level 1 and felt like every time I clapped and yelled my own fellow Saints supporters shot me a look like I was disrupting church. Like seriously, what the hell? Stand up and get behind the boys when they need you, it's seriously pa...

It's unbelievable the way the media can beat up a story. I'm more concerned for Milne's kids, particularly his son who is now 10 and will no doubt have kids at school who will have their "say", not to mention he's old enough now to know what the "R' word means and I just don't think t...

So what site do i need to go to for presale tickets?

I remember when poochy used to visit and stir everyone up. I joined back in 2003 when there were rumours Milne would be traded. Back then he was a bit of a whipping boy and I basically joined to catch the latest news and stick up for him should anyone dear bag him! These days I don't tend to post, j...
