Callum Mills has polled his first top-10 Brownlow finish, receiving 21 votes in last night's 2022 Brownlow Medal presentation.
The Sydney Swans have enjoyed a stellar season to date, finishing the home and away season with seven consecutive victories to book their place in the Top Four, before two emphatic Finals victories have them facing Geelong in the 2022 AFL Grand Final.
A host of players have enjoyed remarkable individual campaigns, including All Australian duo Isaac Heeney and Callum Mills, while Chad Warner set the season alight with a blistering run of form midway through the year.
Callum Mills’ excellent season saw him grab his first top-10 Brownlow finish, after coming 13th in 2021, while Luke Parker and Chad Warner also finished with votes in double figures. Despite being ineligible due to suspension and managing just 11 games after moving to Sydney from Port Adelaide, ruckman Peter Ladhams trebled his career vote count from two to six with back-to-back two-vote games early in the year.
Stunning!
