WHy is he underpriced?
Because we've seen what he's capable of but there's just been the issue of consistency. Not a lot required for him to step up to the 110+ bracket, just ironing out those games where he goes missing. He looks hungry, entering his prime and his team is ready to take the next step: could be his year.

Game probably made me think more about the guys who could be value picks: Parker, Greene, Ward, Buddy all looking like picks that could potentially be great value. Just gives us more to consider with no real answers.

For definitives, Shaw looks set to continue from last year (avoid at your own peril), Also really liked what Mills showed. Two impressive NAB games and now looking like a must have rookie.

So Mills huh? Talk to me people, I've only seen highlights of the SJ show..
I didn't always see him as Sydney have 1,000,000 blonde-haired nuggety types, but he played across the half back and you'd imagine will be used there even when McVeigh and others return.

I think that's a good position for him to be in, will take the 6th forward and be encouraged to create.
Tackles hard and not afraid to put his body in.

Pretty much a typical swans player really.

Well, the team around him is one more year ready. hmmmm pass ATM, although his price is tempting considering how expensive all the rookies are :drunk:

That's probably the clincher. ATM every rookie that looks able to start the year is high priced and being able to get value on every line will add up. If choosing a Parker/Ward over a Pendles/Hannebery allows you to get a similar score and spend a little more to improve your rookies could be a big win for your team.

Not convinced. (Altho people have questioned my judgement before... :p )

Some of his decision-making and disposal wasn't great, which we've all been lead to believe is his strong suit.

Yes, sure, Swans need running HB's (esp. with McVeigh out), but there's a genuine chance that Mills isn't very good at it... :confused:

Likely to get a game, but @ $200k+, hardly must have, imho.

He will play, which at this point makes him pretty close to a must have

I won't pretend I'm any authority, but I'm struggling to see other rookies at this point I can lock in to play games and make money. We still have 2 more weeks of NAB and the round 1 teams announcement but not a lot of the cheaper priced rookies filling me with a lot of confidence to play regularly or score reasonably. Hoping that changes because rookies who aren't earning money are useless.
