I hate to go short term and think about this week when everyone else is talking coaches but The Age is reporting that Stephen Milne has been charged with four counts of rape.

I have no interest in this except to say: do you think this will help our chances this week? New coach and all?

And be careful what you all say - innocent until proven and all that.

    Big question is will he now play in the game or will he pull out? What message are the saints sending if the let him play but then again what message are they sending if they don't let him play.

    It helps us if he doesn't play because he's still a dangerous player. But it doesn't help us enough I'd think.

    St Kilda have precedent with this as they sacked Lovett after he was charged with rape. Tough position the Saints are in now, coming up a hapless team who's just sacked their coach, they're expected to win and anything less will be an embarrassment, and now this.

    I'm just shocked this is back, especially after the footy show made light of it just a few weeks ago and he just spoke about the jibes hurting him and his family. Well it's definitely not going away now.

    Good luck getting bail on 4 counts of rape

    This is the wild west. He's been charged for an incident in 2004 he's not going to get arrested and locked up until the trial (if it even gets that far).

    Lovett had history though and was there for all of 5 minutes before regardless of the result of the trial he certainly behaved badly.

    Milne has been with the saints for over a decade, including all the time in which this incident took place, I don't see them abandoning him straight away. It certainly makes his chances of getting a contract next year look very slim though.

    Wonder how his meeting with the AFL went, or hasn't that happened yet?

    Latest news is that the AFL is relocating the St. Kilda v Melbourne game to the Melbourne Remand Centre recreation area to accomodate all players.

    thats unfair

    it gives them a home ground advantage

    The majority of people would get bail for something that allegedly happened 9 years ago.

    I think Milne can consider himself to be a very very luck guy.... He had internal vic pol help 9 years ago which resulted in him not being charged... If that had not occurred he would of been charged in 2004 and on the ex player scrap heap no later than 2005

    He has been able to earn a very very good wage (well above the normal person) for the past eight years so should thank his lucky stars

    Do you know how many violent crimes are committed by people who are on bail for other violent crimes? Our judges work off a checklist for this crap, the same as they do for sentencing. "Tie's to the community" check, "Family" check, fine, he can have bail.

    Whether he plays or not, our 22 will be playing against 22 opponents.

    Doesn't matter who they are- big question how will OUR guys respond to OUR events of the week? They have all worked with Craig for as long as they worked with Neeld. The response will certainly show something about the dynamics of our club, and the character of our players.

    GO DEES!!!!!!

    After what the Aints did to Lovett, it'd be a disgrace if he lines up the same week he is charged...

    It's fair - the game was scheduled to be their home game this week regardless.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
