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

[Kapers]

Look, he's a Muppet,

But I think it's rediculous to say that he can't live a life outside of football. If he wants to wrestle mates he can wrestle mates.

 

[ashep]

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

Gardiner has already commented on how disappointed he is. What more are you waiting for them to say?

 

[Slingshot Footy]

If he's truly a professional, all it will cost him is his free time over the summer when he could have spent it doing other things instead. Now, he needs to work tirelessly over the offseason to get himself in good nick just to get back to scratch.

Thank goodness our facilities have improved otherwise he would have been even more miserable in the old dungeon.

I just read that , but media saying 6 months is way over the top

 

[Tedeski]

Morons.

 

[anotherletdown]

So, if there's a surprising trade out we know who Mills was wrestling with

 

[caesar88]

The one positive to come out of this is that no one will be more angry with, disappointed in, and embarrassed by this whole situation than Mills himself.

We've never really seen a Callum Mills

with a point to prove and a debt to pay, because he's hardly put a foot wrong since he walked in the door. So there's an opportunity there.

 

[ashep]

Fingers crossed!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Mills is a dill. Elevated to all time great in the Swans version of the Darwin Awards.

 

[bloodsbigot]

because he's hardly put a foot wrong since he walked in the door.

He certainly put a foot wrong here:

Callum Mills to miss the rest of the season after breaking his foot in an accident

[BloodySwan]

Absolutely hilarious

 

[Cadsky]

The thing is, there's wrestling and then there's wrestling. How bloody hard must you have been wrestling to injure yourself so badly you need a full shoulder reconstruction? He stepped over the line and should have been fully aware of it at the time as club captain. That's your job, think of the situation and the risks involved. He's paid a very high price for the risk. And if he had a pre existing injury then that just makes this worse. Should not have put himself in that situation at all.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Needs to do the following -

• resign co-captaincy
• cancel his holidays
• donate 5% of his salary to the rehab team
• eat more cheese

 

[RocketBooster]

Wrestling in anger or wrestling for fun?

 

[Cadsky]

Wrestling in anger or wrestling for fun?

Good question. One of the articles I just read has fighting with teammate in the headline, however the article has no substance to it.

 

[the hypnotoad]

I mean pandas are black and white, so illegal use of firearms wouldn't be a surprise.

he thought they were collingwood fans

 

[lazy77]

So ridiculous. Makes us a laughing stock. The least that needs to be done is to strip him of captaincy. No one who does something so monumentally stupid deserves a leadership role.

 

[RocketBooster]

Good question. One of the articles I just read has fighting with teammate in the headline, however the article has no substance to it.

Yeah, either way , Callum will have to shoulder the blame for his actions

 

[Cadsky]

Boom tish

 

[lazy77]

At least 6 months. Could be 9 months. Shoulder reconstructions are a big deal.

What an unbelievable moron he is. It's just hard to comprehend. It's a joke that this dumbarse is our captain.

Better that it happened before trade period. Hopefully we can find an inside mid because it sounds like his season is potentially at risk.

we should trade mills ... while he's still got one good shoulder
do i win something for biggest overreaction so far?

amazing how many posters are happy to dismiss, ignore, castigate and condemn various footy media reports (and reporters) but right now, not even friggin october 2023, and suddenly sam edmund et al are 100% correct with their calls on the state of mills' shoulder and his fate for the 2024 season
