Mills was expected to be developed as the Lions' Centre Half-Back to fill the void created by the retirement of Justin Leppitsch.
In the 2007 AFL season, he was used initially in a half forward flank role, but then became increasingly a defensive forward who put pressure on opposition defenders to force them to make mistakes.
Wayde Mills was delisted by the Brisbane Lions at the end of the 2008 season.
At the end of the 2008 season Wayde Mills was signed by the Glenelg Football Club in the SANFL, he made his debut in Round 1, 2009 and he has become a consistent Full-back.
