ST KILDA forward Stephen Milne's stuttering start to the season has stalled after he was forced to miss this week's historic trip to New Zealand.
A one-game suspension for face gouging meant Milne could not be considered for the Anzac Day game against Sydney in Wellington.
St Kilda's forward set-up was already disrupted with tall target Beau Maister out with a fractured right wrist.
Milne also copped a $3000 fine for his involvement in the skirmish after the halftime siren that cost four teammates and three Essendon players a total of $14,100.
The AFL match review panel cited the veteran goalsneak for making unnecessary contact to Courtenay Dempsey's face in the last quarter at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.

It was a costly aftermath to another substandard display by the veteran - Milne managed one goal from 10 possessions in the 37-point loss to Essendon.
The 33-year-old, who earned AFL life membership this week for 300 career games, has six goals from four games this year after leading the Saints goalkicking with 56 majors last season.
Strugglers Melbourne and Brisbane have each lost players to suspension before their clash at the Gabba on Sunday.
If you don't mind, umpire: The biggest umpiring eyebrow-raisers of Round 4
Demon midfielder Neville Jetta can accept a two-match penalty for rough conduct against Giant Lachie Whitfield and Hanley was outed for one game for striking North Melbourne's Lindsay Thomas.
Jetta had 87.50 demerit points carried over for a one-match ban for a front-on bump to Thomas in Round 18 last season and Hanley had 93.75 added for escaping with a reprimand from a rough conduct charge in the opening round this season.
Richmond defender Steven Morris can accept one game or risk two by challenging a charge of rough conduct against Collingwood's Jamie Elliott in the second quarter at the MCG on Saturday.
A six-year good record helped North Melbourne full-back Scott Thompson to avoid suspension for rough conduct against Bulldog Brett Goodes and North Melbourne forward Drew Petrie was cleared after a report for charging Brisbane's Rohan Bewick was thrown out.
St Kilda's Nathan Wright, Tom Simpkin, Ahmed Saad and Jarryn Geary were each fined $1200 for the melee and Bombers Tom Bellchambers, Michael Hibberd and Jake Carlisle were hit with $2100 sanctions as second offenders.
Neville Jetta faces nervous wait for ruling on bump on Lachie Whitfield.
