Career
Mills, at 203 cm, is believed to have been at the time, the tallest ever VFL player. He played with New Town, a Tasmanian club, in 1926. The next two seasons were spent back at West Torrens.
Already 31 by the time he joined Street Kilda in 1929, Mills kicked three goals on his VFL debut, against Fitzroy at Junction Oval.
The following season he kicked 17 goals from eight appearances for Hawthorn, which was enough to finish second in the club"s goal-kicking behind Bert Hyde.
