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

[SwansProudly]

Great to see Callum as an spectator at training today

 

[Deccas]

I think how little we have noticed callum missing from the back line bodes very well for his transition to the midfield. I thi K add him in up there and we have a really great and even looking midfield.

Credit needs to go to Jones, he's really stepped up in that role in Mills absence. I thought he was very good against the Saints

Jones Loyd and McVeigh have all been great this season. Rampe has been as well. Im stunned how little we are missing him. To not really feel the loss a a player as good as him really just goes to show that system trumps personell. Hope we don't lose many more though!

Recovering well and could make a late run at it

Mills is a determined bloke, he’d be doing every tiny little thing that can assist his recovery.

 

[Ticky009]

Providing he’s fully fit. None of us want a repeat of the GF.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Admire the bloke's determination, but he must be told to concentrate on 2019.

 

[Angry Red Bull]

Not out for the year yet despite what the club are saying

Yes very strange they announced that so early. A break especially in the little toe metatarsal (appears that's what it is from picture) is 6 weeks usually. It's the smallest bone and the one that usually goes when landing poorly. Should be weight bearing after 3. Remember one of my teammates had a chip in that bone from landing poorly and he merely had it wrapped, crutches for two weeks and then another two completely healed. Same location. Im thinking they were mega pissed off being non afl incident and announced that to teach him the importance of not engaging in nonsense. I too think he will be back later in year perhaps when they've stopped being annoyed?

Mills himself confirms that he's done for the year.

[Swansujelly]

got a feeling Mills will be a revelation in the middle this year.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Any chance of changing the thread title. Thought he was injured again.

 

[BloodySwan]

Had a damn heart attack myself!

 

[Tedeski]

He is a definite starter in the midfield based on the upper body shape. He will be absolute gold in the middle for us.

What we drafted him at 16?
"Sydney drafted Mills from the Swans Academy via their first-round selection at the 2013 National Draft..."

nah, you can take a photo of anyone throwing punches and they look jacked.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Pity we handed out 4 year contracts for spuds like Sinclair it's not

Trade a highly skilled winger for a neafl ruck

A NEAFL ruck who finished top 10 in the Skilton.

got a feeling Mills will be a revelation in the middle this year.

If Longmire plays him in the midfield then I agree.

 

[Caj]

If Longmire plays him in the midfield then I agree.

We all suspect he won't though and we'll have to watch Callum punch the ground over and over again when he gets outmarked

 

[The Gong]

It's a testament to him that he won the Rising Star playing out of position. He's a natural midfielder which is why I'm amused that some posters don't see moving him to the midfield as any sort of fix to the team. I think he could be a gun for us in the middle. Do it, Horse!

Agreed I think we’re crying out for him there

Just not sure Horse will oblige
