is one of the best young players in the AFL. The QBE Sydney Swans Academy graduate won the 2016 AFL Rising Star award and was selected in the AFL Players’ Association’s 22Under22 team in three of his four eligible years. Mills is a small defender with uncompromising courage who’s also capable of shifting through the midfield. The New South Welshman was elevated to Sydney’s leadership group during the 2018 pre-season at the age of just 21, and he’s now a member of a five-man leadership panel alongside co-captains Josh Kennedy, Luke Parker

[The King!]

Reminds me of Sam Mitchell with his foot skills and his leadership is Paul Kelly like, fitting he wears 14

You kidding right?

Sam Mitchell is elite on both sides , mills kicking on his preferred is high bombs most of time

I love mills courage and intercepting, he is a talent

 

[The King!]

He reminds me a bit of ablett snr with some of his freak skills

 

[Blacky]

You kidding right?

He is taking the piss, but most will eat it up.

He might be the best player I've ever seen

 

[SilentHunter_]

Mills is easily the GOAT already. Open your eyes.

 

[The King!]

He is taking the piss, but most will eat it up.

He might be the best player I've ever seen

He will win you over this september

 

[Mick Oxlong]

He is in great form the last few weeks

No, hardly sighted last week...neither were Freo for that matter!

Yeah but Sam Mitchell is a dog!

 

[Superstar swan]

I for one cant fault his form...crucial to our team

 

[The King!]

No, hardly sighted last week...neither were Freo for that matter!

Against the crows? Thought he played well, some key marks

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Against the crows? Thought he played well, some key marks

Sorry, I actually meant the Dockers game two weeks ago...already forgotten the relevance of the choir, I mean Crows!

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Set for 50 games this week.

Think he's only missed 3 possible games since being drafted which is a credit to him.

 

[caesar88]

Wow another 50th game milestone.

Credit to Mills he's one of the toughest kids I've seen play so he's earned every single one of his fifty games thus far.

 

[Superstar swan]

Yep cops a fair bit around here and its not deserved

 

[caesar88]

Yeah I think when a player starts their career at such a high standard right out of the gate, people's expectations can be warped. We've seen this with Zak Jones, with Aliir Aliir and seems we're seeing it with Mills now. If it weren't for his Rising Star win which established how great he could potentially be, we wouldn't even bat an eye-lid if he played a sub-par game. Now whenever he plays one it's like he's on the downward slide. Truth is, very few players start on an upward gradient and continue it throughout their careers. Nothing unusual about him having some average games mixed in with his good ones. He's a 21 year old whose played 50 games. The emphasis should be on the amount of good ones he's actually had so far in his young career.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Millsy is a bloody gun!!

Future Captain IMO.

 

[scaryness]

Pulled a Rampe and now the season is over for Mills.

[Tuco]

Hope he has an uninterrupted recovery. Will be missed.

 

[Cadsky]

Might not be a bad thing. Most of us want him in the middle anyway. This gives us a chance to arrange a defence without him and when he comes back he could potentially slot into the mids.

 

[The Swans Blog]

At least he cant retire from his injury

 

[Parkerman]

Did he think he was Manfred Moore?

 

[adam waite]

Next Reid 5 more I bet

Good one Punts. Cant tell if you are serious or taking the piss. Reid cant even stay on the park for a whole season yet!

 

[Punts]

Like 2016 when he was rushed into the GF

Won’t be the difference weather we go all the way or not imo

That’s not knocking him by the way as a player

 

[mtooler]

I don't think we'll notice Mills missing when Melican is back and Rampe plays Mills role

 

[SwansProudly]

Wishing Callum Mills all the best for a speedy recovery
