Milne loses Goal of the Year?

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Milne Round 5 versus Franklin Round 13.

Forget about the quality of the actual goals -- a packed MCG Friday night game will beat a rainy, poorly attended Port Adelaide match in the buzz-stakes. Plus Buddy is more fashionable than the Tiprat. Sadly, I think Milne will miss out yet again ... and to think he probably deserves it for the goals against Fremantle and Richmond anyway.

love milneys goals but honestly Buddys last night were awsome especially the last one where i took 3 bounces and ran to the boundry not away from it ...


let Buddy have the goal of the year for that effort Milney can console his loss of goal of the year with a premiership medal instead

[Beekay]

Buddy's two goals were mint, and no-one else could do that (Aker in his prime perhaps).. let alone at his height.

Deserves it.

It s***s me on SEN they were comparing Roo and Buddy (Dermot was obviously in) he's played 1 good game in 18 months.

Why can't they just talk about Buddy, his game, what was good about it, and leave the comparisons alone....it get's so boring.

Just saw it again on Before the Game. Pretty special but yes, does not a premiership make. I like your way of thinking.

Agree. The media is notorious for forgetting their own stories.

Now it all about BJ. Jonathan Brown and Roo don't exist. After Round 3 the media was talking about Carey, Roo and Brown.

Voss was a genius, Richmond were never going to win a game. Hawthorn were pathetic. No Judd, no Carlton, then they are great. Knights is hopeless then he is good.

It would be good to keep a log on how many times the media have done 180's.

Am I the only one who unbiasedly believes Milne's goal is better?

We've all seen goals like Franklin's before, I don't ever remember a goal quite like Milne's.

No I am with you saw it on the news tonight, yep good goal but Milneys are much more exciting ( not that I am biased )

I believe Milne's goals were better (I'm including that one he dribbled through on the angle as well).

Well I have never seen a goal like Buddy's before. Clearly goal of the year at the moment. Milne has probably got second and third at the moment.

[Duggie]

Yes, reluctantly, Buddy for me given the pressure and the skill of the moment which obviously lifted his team to a win

[Iceman234]

If only Buddy had an athlete chasing him...

Got to take into consideration:
- The run and agility of Franklin for a big man
- The skill and confidence in going the drop punt from the boundary. Not just chipping or dribbling and hoping for the best. Kicking through the ball in style.
- The importance of the goals
- Did it twice
- The sheer arrogance and self belief in running towards the boundary line.
- 100% intent

Taking all that into account (apart from the importance of the goal, which doesn't have a bearing on GOTY, you'd suspect), Milney by a mile!

Franklin's goal was outstanding. Running at that pace, bouncing and kicking accurately from the boundary line should be extremely difficult for most, let alone somebody of Buddy's size. But he's a phenomenal athlete, it's not as if Sandilands kicked that. Running and bouncing should be difficult for Buddy, but it's not, he has the agility of a midfielder and midfielders kick those goals.

Therefore I don't feel that the size of the man should add to the level of difficulty in this case, because if it did, then Justin Madden kicking that goal where he took a couple of bounces and ran away from Shaun Rehn before kicking it from outside 50 would be the greatest goal of all time. I reckon it was more difficult for Madden, at 206 cms and the most uncoordinated footballer I've ever seen, to kick that goal than it was for Buddy.

For Milney to even think to attempt what he did was out of this world, let alone execute it.

In terms of the goal and the goal alone... the knack, quick thinking, ingenuity, understanding the shape of the ball and uniqueness of Milney's goal makes it better IMO.

Milne loses Goal of the Year?

maybe but that one from a kick from mid air from the boundary was very very freaky

anyway there's another half to go if that's the case and our boy keeps producing them!

He just might eclipse the bloody lot on the last Sat in September by really pulling one out of the hat when it counts , to make up for last year !!

Lets hope so anyway and I'm sure he'd rather a premiership medallion round his neck more than the goal of the year!!

[iwantmeseats]

I couldnt poissibly care any less who wins bloody goal of the year lol! Big.deal.

i don't think anyone really does to be honest.

this is now a discussion on whose goal we believe is better and why.

[Bernard Shakey]

Buddy by a mile.

[Teflon]

Buddy will get it cause of the hype for sure.

Havent seen Buddy for half a year so far - now Dermutt and Co on SEN have him as a better footballer than Riewoldt.

Just get sick and tired of one hit wonders and the media whores who jump on em quicker than a hooker at the Cross.

When Buddy produces - week in week out then Ill sit up. Sure he had a great 08 - after that???.....goes missing WAY to often for mine.

Motlops freaky too - he also does it once a year.......

Riewoldts consistency is that far undevalued its not funny.

Nevermind Teflon, they will soon be reminded
