Mills is 2016 Rising Star!

[goswannies]

Some players take pride in being one-club players and will refuse lucrative offers from other clubs to preserve that loyalty.

That I do not doubt. And I hope Callum is one of those. Mine was just a hypothetical based on him being a Swans supporter who ended up playing for the club he barracked for. Is that enough to keep him a Swan for life?
Was JPK - given his pedigree - a Hawks supporter as a kid? Situation is different, I know, as JPK didn't have opportunities at the Hawks. But if he was a Hawks fan, & the grandson/son of Hawthon royalty, playing for them would have been his dream (I would have thought). Possibly also Paul Hudson & Shane Tuck. Hopefully Mills is that good that he wouldn't shift because of lack of opportunity, but G.Ablett Jr moved for $ despite playing for the club he supported.
As I said, it was a hypothetical question, not one I think will, or want to, happen.

I was rewatching the Hawks game from earlier in the year and at one point Mills was outmarked (I think by Puopolo) and he was really angry at himself. I loved seeing that reaction.

I've been closely watching him most games this year, and that reaction is stock standard on the odd occasions he gets beaten one on one. He is absolutely filthy on himself each time, but doesn't linger on it to the point that he becomes distracted. Very good player, and in my opinion the only thing that will stop him from becoming an elite of the sport is injury.

I can hear the Bruce commentary already.

"Mills gathersss...through traffic...releases to Kennedy...on the overlap,,,back to Mills....deliverssssss....BUDDY!!! Oh he's a beauty that Mills. I know I say it often but we just expect so much from our champions. He reminds me so much of Chris Judd at his best. What do you think Lingy? Perhaps you're not the right person to ask seeing as though you didn't think he was worthy of the Rising Star all those years ago".

And very nicely played Dr J. In fact, special!

Yes, to me it looks like, 'Art Vandelay'.

Maybe Mills is also an importer/exporter.
