Discussion Ross Lyon asks another question : Is Stephen Milne Wayne Carey?

[Squizz]

Lyon paid tribute to Stephen Milne’s courage for playing a key role and kicking three goals in the Saints fightback despite suffering serious swelling to his cheek after an early clash of heads.

“He was fine. I was concerned because you’ve got a responsibility as coach not to put your players in danger but the medical opinion was that it was just puffed up and there was no health risk.

“He has his knockers. But he’s been at St Kilda a while, he’s a finals player, he’s kicked 45 goals. Is he Wayne Carey?

How much crap does Milney cop and yet he still deliver's,close to kicking 50 goals this season and yet everybody wants him dropped ?? You get the whole package with him so you have to take the good and bad and 50 goals will do me !!!!!!

His effort was sensational yesterday. If it was any other player yesterday, the commentators would have gone on and on about how couragous the player is for returning to the field after a heavy knock. Great stuff Milnedog, I wouldn't trade you for the world.

Never mind about Wayne Carey - what's this about Milne's set of cans? Never noticed them before ... ok feeling weird now ...

Does Milney get to come back with:
" Is he Kevin Sheedy, no , but he has a role to play"?

Two of Milney's best games this year have been interstate. Has previously been a problem for him.
