I was watching two things from last night re Mills that made me laugh, but also realise what a competitive, hard bugger he is.
One: when he crunched Acres, which he executed beautifully by getting in low and drilling his shoulder into his ribs. It was such a brave, savage hit. But what made it better was he got straight up, walked past Acres, and not sure exactly what he briefly said, but did it with a smile. I suggest a good sledge, but it was quick and probably more about how he enjoyed it. And then walked back and took the accolades and high fives of his team mates. Reg hugged him for the hit.
The other was after Sinclair kicked his fifth. Carlisle was giving some argy bargy back to the Swans and Mills was in the vicinity before heading back to defence. Not sure what Carlisle said when he pointed at Mills, but Mills simply put his hand and all five fingers up at him.
He really is a remarkable bugger, especially for his age. No wonder teams target him now and then, but I suspect deep down he enjoys every second of it.
