    Sydney coach John Longmire says his clubs AFL Rising Star favourite Callum Mills can be too courageous for his own good. Reto Berra Jersey .On Monday afternoon Sportsbet.com.au had Mills listed at $1.18 favourite to win the award, with Bulldogs midfielder Caleb Daniel ($4.00) as the only other nominee in single digits.Essendons Darcy Parish ($13) and Melbournes Christian Petracca ($15) were the only others quoted below $20.Recruited as a midfielder, Swans academy graduate Mills has starred in an unfamiliar half-back role.Mills 19, has played 20 out off 22 games, being rested from one and missing the Swans last match with a minor calf injury.He is expected to be fit for Saturdays qualifying final against GWS Giants.Hes been terrific, hes strong with the ball, Longmire said.Hes really courageous and sometimes a bit too courageous for his own good, hes that hard at the ball.But hes also a very smart decision maker and hes got a very mature approach to footy.Hes been a fantastic addition for us this year.Asked when Mills might finally get a run in the midfield, Longmire said I think that will evolve over time.South Australian Daniel, 168cms tall and the smallest player in the AFL, has become a dynamic part of the Bulldogs midfield.After playing 10 games last year, he has added 20 more in 2016, averaging 21 touches a match.I think you can tell that hes wise beyond his years, Bulldogs star Marcus Bontempelli said.His footballing capabilities and skill work are quite incredible.His vision and his ability to see options that not many players do just helps you as a team with your ball movement, in particular.Among those to have won the Rising Star award in the past are Nathan Buckley, Adam Goodes, Nick Riewoldt, Sam Mitchell and Joel Selwood.

Even the flag marshalls couldnt hide their excitement when Ford young gun Chaz Mostert finally completed Bathurst 1000 qualifying after four years of trying.Twelve months ago Mostert was in hospital nursing a broken leg after a horror crash on Mount Panorama.On Saturday, Mostert could feel no pain after exorcising his Bathurst demons and qualifying third fastest for the Great Race.During top 10 qualifying, scores of rabid Ford fans could be seen cheering Mostert on from The Dipper where he suffered last years spectacular crash in the ultimate sign of encouragement.But Mostert reckoned he was already smiling during the warm-up lap.Seeing so many people come out during qualifying was absolutely crazy, he said.Even during the warm-up I saw the flag marshalls on the course where I hit the wall last year.They gave me the thumbs up and wished me good luck so that was pretty special.Mosteert may have not finished in top spot at qualifying but he still felt like a winner.
