Such a beauty. Unstintingly courageous; also determined and skilful. His single-mindedness is clear in interviews - wants to be the best playing for the best team.

[Danzar]

Excellent news. Congratulations Callum!

[Levii3]

Finally.. Wonder where he is on B&F only missed one game and has been consistent top 10? 15?

[stellation]

Fantastic- I'm really pleased for him, he is such an impressive young kid out there.

[kilroy]

Awesome, well done. I just cant get over how experienced he looks out there.

[dejavoodoo44]

Glad he finally got a nomination. I was beginning to formulate a conspiracy theory or two.

[neilfws]

Of course he is! And good on him, a great game last week. Can only hope he brings the same this week, along with the rest of them.

[giant]

Great news, well deserved. Certainly a real chance to win the whole thing.

[dimelb]

What continually leaves me gobsmacked is that he's doing all this stuff in his first season - I'm no expert but he looks like the makings of a genuinely elite player.

[707]

Congratulations Callum, an ornament to the Academy and the Swans, looks to be a star of the future. "They" said he was better than Heeney and he may just be!

His reading of the play is already elite, just does so many great things every game.

Not sure when he moves into midfield duties but he'll be missed in the back 6 when he does!

Should give the big award a shake.

That tackle on Hawkins was worth a nomination alone.

Let's not dwell on how Hawkins came to have the ball in the first place... :smile:

The best thing you can do after mucking up something is to fix it. That is exactly what Callum did. You cannot ask for anything more.

[AnnieH]

Took them long enough.
Well done Millsy.

Ala "Leo Barry, YOU STAR!"?

[stevoswan]

About time! Awarded not only for Fridays game, but also for, I believe, a consistent body of quality work for the entire season. A first year gun, should win the overall award!

[barry]

If he plays out the season hes a real chance to win it .

[mcs]

That tackle on Hawkins was worth a nomination alone.

That whole piece of play - where he made up for a poor mistake by monstering Hawkins :)

Well done Callum - a long time overdue and should finish top 3 at worst - and could yet take it out in my opinion if he has a really strong finish to the season.

He plays like someone that has already played 100 games - he is going to be an elite player, there is little doubt about that!

[Doctor]

About freakin' time. Well done young man!

[Primmy]

About bloody time. Nice to see a number of journalists have the same opinion.

He is consistently good. Not flashy or One Week Only. Each and every week he works, produces quality play, and he is getting better and better.

Just as a side note: he must be a LOT stronger than he looks!

[YvonneH]

That tackle he put on Tom Hawkins and brought him down was a sign of how strong he is.

[Bloods05]

Strong yes, but the technique was impeccable.

[ScottH]

The other tackle that impressed me was one from Smith.
Not only did he have the arm (s) pinned, but he'd wrapped his legs around the players leg, so he couldn't even get a kick away.

From the intensity and the amount that stuck I'd say they have been practicing them in recent times.

Looks like Richie Cunningham, play like the Fonz :tongue:
