Sydney captain Dane Rampe has opened up about the emotional toll of leaving out close friend and fellow leader Callum Mills for the AFL Grand Final. While devastated for Mills, Rampe says he’s committed to leading the Swans with a clear mind against Brisbane Lions.
Acting Sydney captain Dane Rampe was distraught over the Swans’ decision to leave out Callum Mills but says he will go into the AFL grand final with a clear mind after “experiencing the worst” of the big stage.

New to Kayo?Coach John Longmire told reporters before Friday’s grand final parade that Mills had reacted “as you’d imagine” after being told of the decision jointly made by the Swans coaches and medical staff.
Rampe, who will lift the premiership cup aloft should the Swans win, said he cried with Mills after he was told of the selection call but had to quickly move on as he prepared to lead the side into the grand final. “As for my prep … I’ve been doing what I can in a leadership sense all year, and nothing for me changes – I’ll be going out and doing what I need to do.”
