if your eyes are so bad that you cant work out where the head is of someone standing directly in front of you, you wont have to worry about milling, infact you probably wont have to worry about selection either...

When you are milling the best thing to do is hit your opponent with your white stick

Sorry its a youtube link I know some people don't like them but that's a video I found of milling. Hopefully that might stop a few of the simple questions.
application form : done
BARB test : passed 82
Medical : Broke my wrist so 12 months wait before reapply.
