Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3064664, member: 8988"] For a long time I used to think milford was lazy, or a bad trainer. He'd have these games where he would start at a million miles an hour and then disappear, or be missing and show up near the end. Other times he'd play a spectacular game and be almost invisible the next one. He still does it. If I think about our great play makers langer, locker, Walter, they all got better as they aged. They didnt get any faster, and I definitely langer was as good at 36 as Milford is now, but langer wouldnt do anywhere near the work. What he and others knew that milf doesn't is when you can cruise and let the team run itself and when you need to put in 2 or 3 tackles, or take a tough run and quick play of the ball to put your team on the front foot or conversely set opposition back a pace. Milf is great at spotting a hole and feeding a good pass. He can step on dime and make defenders look silly. What he can't do though is know when it is needed and when it is not. How could he? the only half of any experience he has played with is hunt and he threw himself into games with a seemingly masochistic desire to kill himself. He'd wear himself down and make silly mistakes. We'd all denigrate hunt when the bloke ran himself ragged, having himself only playing half a season with an experienced half in prince. I think of dearden playing, and he looked like he was trying to break the tackling record in his few appearances for us. I think of all this and I think more than ever wise old player like a Blake green, or Reynolds to feed his in-experienced half partner and teach him when to inject himself is continuous problem we haven't solved. Think of how hunt looked so much better under wisdom, knik with green. We just don't have that. Back in 2015, we nearly won it, and I think Hodges talking to our young halves was big part of that. We need that now more than ever. [automerge]1566204267[/automerge] I just read this back and despise my phones auto correct "wisdom" should be "widdup". [/QUOTE]
