Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2914963, member: 2221"] Of course he must keep evolving and try to learn as much as he [B]can[/B], emphasis on the CAN part. He definitely used to know when to run, because he did it out of instinct, and was superb at it. Now he's trying to steer his team around, plan ahead, kick for position, etc... instead of just following the ball around waiting for an offload, a gap in the defense, or any other opportunity to apply his lethal skills. You might argue that's not worth a million bucks, but the market says otherwise. You have exceptional guys like Locky, Johns or Thurston, who excel at almost everything, but they are very rare. Milford isn't one of those, because to put it really bluntly... he simply lacks the necessary intelligence for it IMO. On the other hand, you have players who do have the footy intelligence, but will never have the physical ability and talent to do the things a Milford, RTS or SJ can do, like Peter Wallace, Ash Taylor or even the maximum exponent called Cooper Cronk. And although the latter is the perfect example of intelligence in service of sports (alongside his mate Cameron Smith), he wouldn't have become the player he is without a flawless work ethic.
