Ok turns out i was wrong
stats wise his best years were 15-16
2009 was his best year goals wise at the crows 55 goals and 46 in 2010 at crows too
best he managed at swans was 44 in 2015 (but was played more in the ruck and had more hit outs).
2013 - 2015 he had mike pyke and or Mumford as the main ruck
2016 He was the main ruck with naismith/sinclair as support
Ironically, its a good thing for the future of Sydney that Buddy is out. It means when they do get some inside 50s, they will kick the ball to the advantage of some of their young forwards who generally have to hang around like dogs waiting for Buddy’s leftovers.
Not convinced on Mills yet. Was sensational in his first season off HB, hadn’t really progressed into the midfield as he should have. Perhaps if they decide to groom the youngsters maybe now he will move into the middle and be the player we expected him to be.
(Excuse my yaco, but…) I said Mills hadn’t progressed as you’d like a few weeks ago.
I’ve seen him a couple of times since that comment and I’d like to amend it to looking dead-set ordinary.
You’d give him a break coming back from injury, but he’d want to start showing better than he has soon.
