For at least two of Jim Mills 3
years with the Bears I was either in
the bush (teaching) or overseas and following things from a
distance.
His time at Norths was not a particularly memorable one I think
he
was suspended almost immediately and ended up playing most of
his final
year in the reserves.
His off-field antics (I understand he worked as a
hotel bouncer at Cremorne) were rumoured to have been as
"interesting" as some of the stories already posted
on your web site.
Your photo of him certainly captures the seriously scary persona
he undoubtedly
presented both on and off the field.
He would have sent our current crop of administrators apoplectic
and spent most of his time camped at the judiciary. No "amnesia"
excuses for Jim Mills!
Nevertheless, for all that, an enduring character of the game.
