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.

you can bet a digit we will win by 10 going away

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
