Re: Milne Charged
Can't imagine Milne playing this week as he will be under enormous pressure. I expect the club will suspend him for a period of time. Unlikely to be any winners in this sorry episode.I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.Comment

Re: Milne Charged
Journos are already saying that when Lovett was charged, the St Kilda management sacked him. So they are building the expectation that the same apply.

Re: Milne Charged
Either way, at least he'll get his day in court. He has been copping it for 9 years without a real chance to put up a defence. Even now, it's going to be very tough for him to get a fair trial.
Without knowing anything about it or much about the law, I'd guess it'd also be bloody tough to make a rape case stick 9 years on. They'd want to have a good prosecutor on it.Comment

Re: Milne Charged
I love the game but couldn't give a stuff about it being tarnished. I'd be more pleased to see justice served to someone who has committed one of the worst crimes anyone could possibly commit. Rapists deserve to rot in jail and if Milne is guilty I hope he does just that.
I feel more for the girl who has carried this for 9 years.Last edited by G-Mo77; 18-06-2013, 04:21 PM.Comment

Re: Milne Charged
I agree with you totally, and think he may be sacked. Love or hate him, he's been a very good player. I wonder if his treatment at the hands of his club (whatever that may be), would've been the same were he still at the peak of his powers?
Well said BAS, justice run its course etc. I'm gonna keep my powder dry on this one, I think that's the only way to play it."It's over. It's all over."Comment

Re: Milne Charged
Everyone, let's be careful about what is posted here about this. At this stage a charge has been laid but it is only an allegation that will either be proven or not once the process has run it's course. Speculation of his guilt or innocence is unproductive at this point in time. Let's just stick to the facts as presented in the media.Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?Comment

Re: Milne Charged
On a not so serious note, IF he is found guilty, will the AFL refund Malthouses fine...Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment
