Stephen Milne says St Kilda’s goalkicking woes have descended into a mental issue, with the former Saints sharpshooter saying he would be happy to offer his help to the club he loves.

Slumping St Kilda have just a draw to show from their past seven matches, all of which have ended with the Saints kicking more behinds than goals. A final score of 8.11 (59) against Fremantle in Perth on Saturday night meant the Saints have kicked 73 or fewer points in every game since kicking 16.11 (107) in a win against the Brisbane Lions in round one. St Kilda kicked six goals in the third quarter against the Dockers but just two across the rest of the game. Tim Membrey – who had kicked 91.39 in his AFL career before this year – finished the game with 1.5, taking his season’s tally to 6.12.

The Saints, who are statistically the most inaccurate side in the competition this year, had struggled with goalkicking last year, leading the club to hire former Hawthorn forward Ben Dixon as a part-time goalkicking coach. However the Saints are understood to be staying the course with Dixon, who has altered the goalkicking technique of about half of the club’s list.
Looks like getting their Dixon wasn't enough and the saints still need help. What will Milney say or do to help the unskilled Saints who can't really finish finally put one through the middle?

At least Milne is a St Kilda person, I swear Dixon is a double agent sent by the Hawks to screw our goalkicking as payback for us screwing them on trades.

The campaigner has turned Membrey from one of the best kicks for goal in the AFL into Stewie Loewe MkII.

Milney's first team bonding exercise?

Team BBQ for players and WAGs at his place.

You can just see Milney greeting guests at the door and asking them to put their keys in the fruit bowl...

Milney is going back to the saints for less screwing to occur. What a time to be alive.

A bit like mm's sausage sizzles except the sausages Milny will be displaying are still attached.

I dunno, I reckon there’s a pretty good chance he’ll end up with a role down at Seaford.

Milney just seems like the kind of guy that won’t take no for an answer
I think he'll just turn up and say he's Dixon. Then once he's finished with them, he'll stick fat to his story that the saints new it was him all along.
