Stephen MILNE

2013 Digest:   Now in the veteran class but he has looked as sharp and dangerous as ever around goals in recent weeks and is set up for another good season. In all history only six Saints have played more games than he and Lenny Hayes and his record of kicking more than 50 goals in four of the past five years is remarkable for a small forward.

2013 NAB Cup:   Veteran small forward has showed exciting pieces of work around goals and is in good shape.
