When Levi finally got out of "Me" mode, when he stopped attacking the footy for his own benefit and started running patterns that benefitted team mates, he became a much much better player. Levi benefitted and they benefitted.
I do not expect Big H to grow out of "Me" mode for another season or two at least.
Interestingly, I think McGovern gets a selection nod because he does this sacrificial part very very well, although fitness is limiting the repeat efforts. One of McGovern's problems has been that when he gets in an advantaged position Big H tends to move to the ball and drag in opponents to the contest rather than leave McGovern one out! ( Fev solved this problem with O'hAilpin by cleaning Setanta up, not one of Fev's finer moments! ) Levi use to drag opponents to the contest as well, he's learnt to draw them away!
The next part of the puzzle, is to stop the midfield mindlessly and repeatedly kicking it predictably to the same target over and over again, even if they can't hit a target it shouldn't be to the same target all the freaking time!
