    I've not read anything coming from the club that puts an estimated timeframe on his return. It could well be mid-season but it seems to be just guesswork at this stage.
    ???? fingers crossed

      It is radio silence though from the club

      I’d say with this injury and how it happened smart club move as it can really drag on to heal which wouldn’t be palatable

        One thing hasn't changed - the Club's update of players.

        I get that until they allocate jersey numbers they can't complete the players page (though how long it takes to have the relevant discussions), but at least remove the retired, delisted players.

        An annual gripe

          Alternatively it can heal a lot faster than the media have quoted - Rugby league medicos quoted at the time said a lot would have to go wrong to out as long as was reported - so hopefully ???? he’s back before the start of the season

            “Arthroscopic reconstruction of the rotator cuff in overhead athletes is effective for improving function of the shoulder in overhead athletes, with a return to sport in 75.4% of patients within an average of 6.4 months. A total of 62.5% of patients were able to return to sport at pre-injury level.@

            A simple google of the Journal of Orthopaedics shows why the media have run with this as worst case scenario - because it ain’t great for quick / rushed returns nor full recovery for pro athletes specifically overhead athletes as above……..it’s a very tricky injury

            Hence our launch at Adams when he became available to buffer season 2024 in the mids

              So it is quite possible he good be ready to go early stages of the season, I don’t think the adams deal was based on the Mills injury, although I am sure it was a bonus

                With the bolstering of our midfield I would suggest that Mills will play in defence.

                  I know there are a few to fit in and I hope Angus gets a good crack but Mills is our best player as a Midfielder

                    Jumper or guernsey, never jersey.
                    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

                        Zero Hanger’s top/starting 23 for the Swans

                        Every AFL team's best 23 for the 2024 season: Sydney Swans

                        They have Taylor Adams at HF - not where he came to play for us, so pretty bad analysis. I think Parker probably needs to go forward for us. They also have Fox out of the lineup for Hamling, Mills in defence (ignoring his injury) and no mention of Sheldrick at all…

                        Final 23
                        FB: Jake Lloyd, Tom McCartin, Dane Rampe.?
                        HB: Callum Mills, Joel Hamling, Nick Blakey.
                        ?C: Errol Gulden, Chad Warner, Braeden Campbell.?
                        HF: Isaac Heeney, Joel Amartey, Taylor Adams.?
                        FF: Hayden McLean, Logan McDonald, Tom Papley.?
                        FO: Brodie Grundy, James Rowbottom, Luke Parker.?
                        I/C: Will Hayward, Justin McInerney, James Jordon, Oliver Florent.?
                        SUB: Harry Cunningham.

                        Also in the mix: Robbie Fox, Sam Wicks, Aaron Francis, Jacob Konstanty, Lewis Melican, and Jack Buller.

                          Fox in if Mills missing first game. Harry C will probably start as lockdown on small forwards. Not sure who he replaces if everyone is fit, which is unlikely. Horse will be pushing for Reid! Loves him.

                              A healthy list has quality depth.

                              Any posters getting to training?

                                You would have to include in the mix Reid, Shelderick, Robert’s, and if he can eliminate his brain fades Ladhams
