Thanks for doing these all year Eastie, and TwoDogs with 'The 3 Things' threads. Easty i know how much you love the Banchor category too, so we can slot one in. So as per Eastdog's rules, 3 banchors (only three, it's meant to be hard), one Banchor (only 1 it's meant to be hard), 3 anchors (only three, it's meant to be hard).
I love Banchors. I explained the whole concept to my wife to tell her how I feel about the reverse parking sensor in my car, it gets annoying beeping at me in the garage but it saves my bacon too
Bankers
3rd year players coming on - Dale & McLean
Macrae going to another level, showing drive & competitiveness
Getting a team in the AFLW
Banchors
Matthew Suckling with some of the best plays and biggest howlers of the year
Anchors
Injuries
Lack of intensity
Forward 50 entries
Banker
Simon Dalrymple - drafted a lot of mid talls and talls. English, Lipinski & Young all debuted and showed great glimpse of our future.
Kids who took their chances - Cordy, Dale & McLean all now regular senior players.
48,000 members and hopefully the eradication of debt
Banchor
Bevo - oversaw a team that narrowly missed finals. But the ruck nonsense that went fior a good chunk of the season and seemingly inability to deal with the opposition attack on our game plan.
Anchor
MRP - Toby Greene should've been rubbed out before playing and knocking Daniel's teeth out. Cloke was smashed in a vulnerable position after disposal, nothing. Greene kicks Dahl in the face, nothing. Tex Walker puts JJ into the goal post without the ball being near, nothing. Easton Wood gets sighted for bugger all. Redpath gets 3 for a push. And so on.
Assistant Coch shuffle - Backfired.
Players that seemed to go backwards - far too many to mention.
Bankers
Macrae's consistency - watch closely, he regularly takes hits then delivers to a free player by hand. Great teammate.
The rise of McLean, Dale and Zordy.
Young - youngest player on an AFL list, plays as a KPD as a 19 year old. A lot to learn but it's an achievement.
Banchor
Matty Boyd. Dropped form after his pre-season hit, but didn't quit - just helped out as best he could at VFL level then makes AFL team of the week in the last round.
Anchors
The coaching changes - clearly didn't work
Stringer - when does a form "dip" become permanent?
Libba - no where near the hunger he had last year
Edited for accuracy, turns 19 in December;)Quote:
