Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3224622, member: 8988"] It's worth noting they're all spine players but not every spine player has that capacity. I get the impression a lot (like Milford) play pure off instinct and probably couldnt tell you why they did what they did when. It probably felt "good"and so they went with it. In the end you need to build a Melbourne storm in years, not months, picking players for purpose. Bennet and Walters will see what they have got and make it work. A player here to fix up a deficiency or lend to a team strength but no epic over-arching plan like siebold or Bellamy. It's probably why players go away from the storm and fall away a little. The funny thing is Bellamy also has a Milford type player in Munster (and before him Slater) but they're few and the team works for them, not the other way. I think that is what Walters wants at the broncos with Milford. Unlike the storm the players plans around what he does will be looser (hence the older croft but less individually accomplished and not the younger self-confident dearden) with the spine swallowing their own creativity a bit to work with him and then organising the others. Milford is Walter's langer, and croft will be the modern Walters. The question will be if players like Isaako, croft, Turpin and Asiata can drive the others. I suppose it begs the question of why put all your eggs in the one basket with Milford and the answer is pretty simple: there's no one else with that X Factor. No one else can pull a rabbit out of a hat and dominate. Milford is the kind of player who grows with more ball in hand. Walters has stake his coaching career on it. [/QUOTE]
