Some players are just born natural footballers, the athletic stuff can be improved on but players like Cripps, Hodge, Maynard, etc are core team reliable players who dont need to be Usain Bolt as they are just made for the game in other areas.
Sam Walsh is another real natural footballer......Rankine, Rozee etc from his draft might be quicker, prettier to watch, upside heavy, but I'd be picking the footballer first everytime.
