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!]

Be spewing if it wreaks the rest of his career with shoulder issues

Yeah he must be feeling shithouse

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Wrestling not far removed from tackling practice etc. Not like he did something against his contract , such as sky diving or something

 

[Jewelsbon]

Drunk wrestling with your boss and he stacks it and ends up in surgery

Peanut

Yep, peanut is the perfect way to describe him.

Be honest fellas, how many of you have done something similar? Yeah he's paid big bucks and part of that payment is a responsibility to be careful of himself, but it's early off season, he's a young bloke that had had a beer or ten and sometimes shit happens....

 

[Nuggetz]

I really want to attend the next mad Monday.

Atleast we know mills won't have a ufc career.

Wouldn't be surprised if shoulder was already cooked and then wrestling just tipped it over the edge. Better to happen in the off-season. Obvs don't want it to happen at all but we're all human.

 

[wills2g]

already has achilles ankle problems

this year was proof he cant perform coming back underdone

wont have a full preseason

whatever apparently im over reacting to this but plenty of fun things out there

 

[Adnico26Parker]

 

[Dan87]

Legit disappointing

Paid to know better

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Damn. I guess he can still maintain fitness. And hopefully the fact he's recovering from the shoulder means he gets more time to rest the Achilles. Provided the shoulder doesn't have significant long term issues, this may not necessarily be the worst thing that could have happened. An extra couple of months recovery for the Achilles. Build up fitness early in the season and come back fully fit.

Fitness wont be a issue just the muscle and conditioning on that side would be severely diminished.

 

[Nuggetz]

Atleast this is a massive wake up call to the squad. Horse has more ammo to give them some much needed tough love imo. We've had our down year after the gf. It's time to get to another level next season.

 

[RilesMacca]

Thought this was funny af. Unfortunate but he'll be fine. Who hasn't had a bit of a Turkish oil wrestle during mad Monday?

On another note. Whoever did the damage on mills should be our inside mid next season

"Please be Sheldrick, Please be Sheldrick."

 

[ashep]

Deadset moron.

Mad Monday is already an archaic tradition past it's use by date. A captain of the club destroying his offseason prep and missing games is unbelievably disappointing.

 

[DobmusEdge]

Club sounds pissed

Callum Mills Statement

Sydney Swans co-captain Callum Mills has undergone post-season shoulder surgery.

[Adnico26Parker]

If it wasn't for Mitch Cleary's reporting, we probably wouldn't have found out anything!

 

[Swannie0307]

All the more reason now to give Heeney an extended run in the guts (trying to turn a negative into a positive )

"Disappointed". What I used to say to my kids.

 

[RUNVS]

"Disappointed". What I used to say to my kids.

So you are no longer disappointed with your kids actions?

 

[Kiama Chris]

So you are no longer disappointed with your kids actions?

Both adults. I keep my mouth shut.

 

[Indie_]

It’s hard to say definitively because we don’t really know what goes on behind the scenes at football clubs - but this strikes me as something that happens at a non-serious football club. Disappointing to say the least.

 

[J_Moore]

On the bright side, if Callum can’t lift his arm above his head anymore, Longmire will have no choice but to stop using him as the extra man in defence and play him as a full-time mid.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Last week?

You're right nobody would of known someone must of snitched to Cleary lol

 

[RUNVS]

Both adults. I keep my mouth shut.

Are they Collingwood fans?

 

[Mister B]

I guess my only reservation is that he missed the tail end of 2018? when he was ****ing around with a gridiron ball walking to a cafe. Hasn't learn't from his mistake and I wonder if this is partially why the statement seems so terse. Wonder if that injury also could be linked to the achilles problems he has?

 

[Big Blood]

Should satisfy all those complaining about lack of Swans news in the off-season. We're lead story in Grand Final week! Huge win.

 

[bedford]

Why don't we all calm down and wait and see what the club says
