Sure. He still gave up on it.

There are any number of players throughout history who got to balls that they shouldn't have gotten to, and in so doing produced something from nothing.
You're getting confused between couldn't physically and shouldn't physically have got there.

No one was getting that ball, I don't care what desire they have.

A friend of mine grew up with him and is still very close so I'm certain it looks deceiving and was never a chance.

I've no doubt looks can be deceiving, and that a camera perspective can make a 5 metre gap look like a hand's breadth away.

But all that isn't really to do with what I'm saying.

He gave up on that ball. In a game like ours, you cannot ever give up. You need be willing to go harder, longer, work over and over and over. Our game is full of examples of players that had every reason to give in or give it away but didn't; correspondingly, there are absolutely players - and Milne is one of them - whose inability to give that extra piece of themselves or find that smallest inch to 5 metres out of absolutely nowhere and influence a ball they shouldn't be able to and failed to win themselves a game.

Do me a favour, and watch this bit of footage:



... and you tell me that you don't think Cyril Rioli would have found a way to kick that goal.

I'll tell you that. Cyril Rioli, while fantastic, can't defy physics.
 
Milne endorses Lyon. (Snort)
Oh oh OH!!!
That bastion of society De Goey didn't wanna come to us so we need to sakc Ratts.
We need more degenerates at the Saints. We are losing our edge!
Hey,
Maybe we can get Carey in as well.

I guess he'd played the game enough to know what to waste energy on, especially at the end of a GF.

the clip doesn't support the argument against Milne in any shape or form....
 

He looked like he was going for the "glory" goal... soccer it through for the winner and be the massive hero... instead of being a therapist.

Edit: Had another look at it and look at the little hitch step to get onto his right foot... he was going for the hero goal.

Tarryn Thomas strikes me as another one of footy's most wasted talents, due to a poor work ethic and attitude.

Really disappointed to read about the investigation of intimidating behaviour towards his former girlfriend.
 


“Bassat, however, said the Saints have “a very clear view about what we need”, promising members “we’ll get the right coach for this club”

“But instead our members get a coach that walked out on us.” 😂
 
Normally teams want to race to the top. We have 4 teams racing to be the worst.

Hawthorn: We gutted the age profile if our list and clearly intend on tanking the next 2 to 3 years, also we're under investigation for historic racist behaviour.

North Melbourne: our number 1 pick sooked his way out, we sacked multiple players, coaches, the ceo and the boot studder to appease the new coach....who can't be here because he is allegedly the racist Hawk.


St Kilda: ha!, we signed Ross the NDA Boss back. We even butchered our list so he didn't have to.


Essendon: That's cute. Two Words. Kevin Sheedy. (And everything and everyone else)


You hate to see it 😂

Ross’s Christmas has come early, he only wanted a job that didn’t include a thorough process and you can be sure he’ll effectively be running the joint.

Absolute disaster written all over it

He didn’t want our job, because we were running a process.

He didn’t want *’s job, because they were pretending they were running a process.

He wanted St Kilda’s job, because they aren’t a process kind of club.
