Player Sponsorship Pick 3 - Callum Mills - Swans Board Sponsored - Rd 16 Rising Star Nominee

[Dan87]

I think with Mills it's that he has this freak mobility in traffic, and when the ball is in chaos he just extracts/moves and turns it into a positive.

And then on the outside he has that overhead ability so he has those elite traits for a MID.

 

[Superstar swan]

Do you mean his kicking skills specifically or just who he plays similarly to?

Kicking skills...anytime anyone mentions a swans kicking ability...my interest sparks

It's hard to say until he plays at the top level, but I'd say from what I've seen maybe somebody like Dayne Beams.

Best moment of my life, not going to lie. Had a good chat with him on AFL Draft night. Such a nice kid.

Nice one Stew. What were you doing there? Looks like you're working in some capacity? Let me guess, you work in IT?

Nah, writing for a sports website called Over the Line Sports First year in the sports journalism business, and got to cover the AFL Draft. So so much fun!

If you ever meet Robbo could you possibly kick him in the balls?

Kept an eye out for him, no luck. Must've sensed how P***ed of I was at him and went running!

Is it a bad thing that Robbo is the biggest name in your industry?

Ugh, just don't Actually when I was in Adelaide it was Emma Quayle, she knows what she's on about. Had a good chat with Mike Sheahan too

Yes I respect Emma Quayle a lot as an AFL journalist as she writes really interesting articles and really knows her stuff. For the life of me I still can't figure out how Mark Robbinson managed to become the biggest AFL journalist in the country when there are so many journalists with a lot more talent.

Because the majority of the HUN's readership aren't interested in journalists with talent.

And don't get me started on the Footy Show...

But yeah, back on topic, Callum will be a gun!

I like to think he will be an 88mm anti tank gun.

Joel Selwood clone

From what I have seen of his highlight reels that is a pretty good comparison.

Think he'll play a bit taller than Selwood...loves to fly for his marks and crash packs etc but other than that I hope you're spot on!

Looks like all those injuries from last year have come good

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It will be a great year to see him develop if he gets 12-15 games that is a positive thing. Can't wait to see him line up this year.

I am honest when I saw that if Mills turns out to be as good as Heeney the Swans will have the best midfield combination in the AFL in a few years, just as good as combinations like Swan/Pendlebury and Mitchell/Hodge.

 

[stew42]

Add Parker, Mitchell, and Hanners in that mix, and I have to agree with you

 

[RUNVS]

Agreed. In terms of what they are turning this year we have

Hannebery - 25
Parker - 24
Mitchell - 23
Heeney - 20
Mills - 19

We will have that midfield for the next 6 years. It is a very good group of players.

Needs more Towers.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Heeney had some hype in his first years, mills seems to have just as much if not more hype. And if reports are true that mills is better than heeney we'll have a serious player on our hands

And pick 3 would be cheap
