Let's just hope that the number 2 brings AJ a bit more luck.

And I also like the idea of Mills getting 14. It could be said that it places a bit of pressure on him, but I would argue, that being a number 3 draft pick would have already placed an equivalent amount of pressure on him.

If AJ can make a successful comeback, it will be a significant boost for the side given his quality and position. Everything crossed for him.

I like the fact that our most famous number, 14, is handed to significant players and I'm sure Mills is one of those.

Didn't Mills ask for number 14? Good to see he is confident in his ability with both Number 3 DP and wearing number 14. Pressure does not seem to worry him!

Not at all, and quoting Mills himself, �I�m looking forward to making it my own.� None of this "I hope to", he knows he'll make it his own. I like his attitude......

And so do I. In fact I think attitude is perhaps the most important missing factor in a lot of our games. It was good to rewatch this year's first game against Hawthorn recently and see the attitude fire up when appropriate.
