    He’ll be kicking himself all summer, and next season will be very difficult for him, no doubt. A large part of my disappointment with this whole incident is knowing exactly what 2024 is going to mean. Been there, been an idiot, as we all are, but fortunately a fair bit younger in my case, so had time to catch up. Never managed to get the same opportunity to play that specific role again though.

    Two things in the discussion above annoy me. The snipe about the Lake Oval mentality was uncalled for. South struggled because they were broke rather than some undefined mentality. Secondly we have absolutely no evidence Mills was drunk or even drinking for that matter. Young men having a bit of a wrestle goes back to Cain and Abel.

    But in all seriousness I hope he doesn't develop Chris Judd shoulders

    Perhaps not the best example. If I have the details right, Abel's career ended there and then, and Cain's issues became biblical.

    I’m not sure which year it was when all our players decided not to drink any alcohol. It must have been very difficult but realistically professional athletes do need to make some sacrifices for their careers. I’m not suggesting that they can’t have a drink or two in the off season but they have to keep it to a minimum, just like they need to watch their diet. We don’t know the circumstances here but no doubt alcohol would have been a factor and to me this shows a lack of discipline by the boys. I’m not singelling Millsy as I’m sure this was accidental but I ask the whole team to greatly restrict their alcohol intake if they truly want to give the club and themselves every chance of success.

    The injury has happened and no point in us moaning about it. The players need to heed the lesson!

    Cheap shot on South. Cheap shot on Mills.

    No idea whats meant by the Lake Oval mentality. But South, in adidition to having the arse out of their pants, also clucked-up a fair bit too.

    True but totally irrelevant to Mills situation.

    You nailed it. You only have to read posts on RWO to see how booze can ruin otherwise sane people.
