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

Non sensical injury update. Low level calf strain is not 8-10 weeks so should not be adding time to his return. Main injury not progressing must be the real issue.

I like fast healers.

Maybe the rehab program to be ready to play is mucked by what rehab/ contact he can do , from the calf strain

 

[BasicSwan]

The media update from the club website clearly states the setback caused by the calf injury means Mills can't get back to any contact training from his injured shoulder as originally planned.

So based on this, the shoulder is progressing but the calf injury means he can't do contact training for the injured shoulder.

Whilst Mills is probably our most versatile player, he also appears to be the only player that can get injured everywhere and for every reason. If he does make it back later in the year, can't really see him playing much inside midfield time which is a shame.

It is the Callium Mills thread

What do you mean?

Work it out , it's the Mills thread . It wasn't replying to your post

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Not needed as an inside mid is what Bedford was alluding to I think.

 

[bedford]

Oh please don't educate him, it was obvious

 

[BasicSwan]

NOT needed in there

Probably but I wouldn't mind seeing Heeney and Mills playing mids together to see how it goes.

 

[bedford]

Not this year , or at least let him settle back in

 

[rustycrate]

Even with Mills and Parker out we can't fit them all in on the inside or the outside.

 

[wills2g]

A tough call would have to be made to squeeze another defender out for Mills to come back

Not the end of the world if he doesnt make it back - we are doing just fine

 

[BasicSwan]

Not this year , or at least let him settle back in

Indeed, he'll probably start in defence or wing when he does come back.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

I just hope he is not rushed back, and he should come back via the reserves. Do not want him rushed back just in time for finals. If he is not ready, he is not ready.

 

[hairy biker]

Oh please don't educate him, it was obvious

It's amazing how you consider all your posts are clear and obvious, yet you seem to have an inbuilt inability to understand other people's posts.

Ever consider that the fault may actually lie at your end?

 

[Swannie0307]

Conspiracy theory?
Is it possible the shoulder is not healing as expected and the calf is just a convenient cover up?? Just a silly thought that came to mind when I heard the news

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Just rotten news for Callum and the Club.

I have said no to rotator cuff surgery… rehab is difficult and takes forever.

 

[Dan87]

Just rotten news for Callum and the Club.

I have said no to rotator cuff surgery… rehab is difficult and takes forever.

I will say that I am now trying to care of my shoulders a lot more after this whole extravaganza

 

[Madswan88]

He owes the fans and the club when he gets back. No more stupid decisions Millsy

 

[Adnico26Parker]

I just hope he is not rushed back, and he should come back via the reserves. Do not want him rushed back just in time for finals. If he is not ready, he is not ready.

I think the setback may be that he can’t play in the reserves as part of the contact training recovery program due to the calf.

Most of the time , thanks for the heads up , seriously that one was obvious as others knew straight away .

 

[zyzzbruh]

He's done calves before if i'm not mistaken. tbh i don't remember mills ever having an injury free season. Another one made out of paper mache. Doing calves at 26-27 has got red flags all over it.

 

[Millky95]

Finals super sub

Sounds like Mills might be back not far off of the bye return timeline

Swans defender to miss again, no guarantees for gun

Promising news

Surely now worth creating a new thread “Where to fit captain Cal into the team?”
Looking forward to the thousands of permutations we will all come up with
