ST KILDA goalsneak Stephen Milne started off the third term with a bang, as he gave his side the pivotal first goal after the major break.

The slippery forward grabbed the ball near the boundary line about 40m out and was confronted by two oncoming North Melbourne players.

With little space to work with, Milne ducked and spun through the Kangaroo sandwich, balanced and then curled the ball home to register yet another miraculous goal.
