EVERYONE knows St Kilda goalsneak Stephen Milne loves a goal, but he loves it even more when the big sticks beckon and the odds are stacked against him.

After a horrible turnover from Port in the defensive 50, Milne launched his body at the ball to force a contest and keep the ball alive. Along with Nick Dal Santo, Milne outwitted three Power opponents to duck, weave and scramble his way out of trouble in typical Milne fashion.

Milne's celebration was one to savour, as he snapped the ball through the big sticks to give St Kilda a commanding 31-point advantage at the major break.
