The Bulldogs retained Milne in their attempt to recover the 2025 title. Milne played 17 matches across the season. The Bulldogs started the season strongly, on course to become minor premiers for the fifth consecutive season, however, a decline in form for the Bulldogs coincided with a strong run from the Exies Galahs, who took home the minor premiership. The two sides met in the grand final for the third year in a row. The match was tied 1-1 at full time, and a result was unable to be obtained during golden goal extra time. Subsequently, the match went to a penalty shootout. With the shootout count at 1-3 in the Exies Galahs' favor, Milne took the 4th penalty for the Bulldogs. Unfortunately for Milne, he was unable to beat the Exies Galahs' goalkeeper, Carl Robinson, which saw the Exies Galahs retain the premiership.
