Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
Bankers - Besides a period in the 3rd , our forward entries were better
- Picken , excellent today
- As soon as it gets tough GC turn their toes up, always .
Anchors - Football injustice Dale Morris getting injured
- The Fox commentary is just appalling . A player gets grabbed high and regardless of previous frees, it's a free kick .
Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
B:
-Picken - your a champion with 6 goals. the first 3 goals in the first quarter were a god send.
-Our young players emerging and had good games: Dale, Young, Williams. Its great to see
-a few nice goals by Libba and Murphy, seeing their touch of class of old
-We got our kicking and accuracy right in the last quarter, so it was good to see.
-Woods marking was excellent today.
-Redpath went further up the ground in the first half, and he took some good contested marks.
Anchor:
Suckling first clanger gave GCS their first goal. Just so obvious. a 50/50 into the corridor, with 1 doggies and 3 suns players around.
Injuries - Morris , hoping you have a fast and speedy recovery
Hanley for snapping Roughead in the head way after the mark was taken. 50m penalty was deserverd.
If Redpath gets suspended, my lost of faith with the AFL Tribunal and their hatred for us, just continues to be validated.
Just a side note, Darcy Macpherson looks really built up now, and he had a pretty good game.
Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
Hard to give three Bankers because the contribution was either very even, or lacklustre after maybe two efforts.
B:
Macrae 1st half and overhead marking.
Bailey Dale goals.
BOG L Picken.
A:
Bobby 😩. Really struggled. Just doesn't seem to have any joy left in his footy.
Broken arm for Morris. From a fairly innocuous but illegal push IMO. That stuff is where the tunnelling hysteria emerges from. Lynch is a bit of a dirty prick.
Libba. Showing a few good things, but he is all at sea. Bobbing up and down like this.
Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
I thought Lynch tunnelled as well.

I have to say my impression was that Dale was a bit far under the ball and tried to come back on it and Lynch stood his ground. I didn't think Lynch did much wrong.
Bankers:
Biggs - that was a great all around game, defended against bigger opponents, used it really well
Williams - still a work in progress but his ball use is great, definitely an heir to Murph.
JJ - his speed and run will be critical against Essendon, good to see him getting back to it.
Anchors:
Bont - tough call but was below his best yesterday
Libba - is a fair way off still. Cameos but no consistency.
Murphy - decision making was distinctly un-Bob like
Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
Lynch did tunnel. He looked at Morris first before the ball. It wasn't a severe tunnel but still a tunnel.
Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
Bankers
The continued improvement of Dale, Williams and Young.
Picken for 6 goals.
Redpath for his presence around the ground, adds some much needed grunt and aggression.
Anchors
Dale Morris' injury, wish him well, Rocket Eade said he "is as good a player as I've coached, he's been a superstar".
Dwayne Russell's commentary, I rate Gerard Whately as a commentator somewhere around a 9, Dwayne....pick any number with a minus before it.
Bob Murphy, for some reason doesn't look interested at the moment.

Libba is an interesting one. It's like Bevo is trying to light a rocket under him but it isn't working. He's being played as an outside mid and doing OK at it, whilst not being very involved. He was on ball more in the last and his contested work came to the fore again
Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
Bankers.
Picken - excellent game
Redpath - ditto. Does MRP have its own vision ? If not I hope they don't listen to the hysterics coming from the commentators.
3. Young players doing very nicely.
Anchors.
1. Injury to Moz
2. Libba still off the pace
3. Roughie did not give us much.
Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
Don't get the angst over the Redpath hit on Lynch. From the angle we all saw it looked like a text book jumper punch to Lynch's jaw/face. Don't recall him having a prior record and the hit was low level with Lynch showing no ill effects. Seems like a fine to me but after the Easton Wood debacle....who knows?
Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
Bankers
1. JJ finding some space and while in that space he found his lost confidence. I think he's turned the corner.
2. Running out the game. Also running out a game interstate. We have played some terrible second halves this year and early in the third I thought here we go again. We steadied, albeit against an ordinary Gold Coast Suns outfit but we steadied none the less, which is something that we have struggled to do for much of the season. A nice little confidence boost coming up against a confident Essendon.
3. Picken. 6 sausages. More of that please. He looks like he is gaining some much needed form since being knocked out earlier in the season.
Banchor
Hunter - he played probably his best game of the season and probably matched his average form from last year which is banker worthy BUT his inability to hit a target 20 metres away on their own is not AFL quality. His foot skills are terrible for a bloke who gets so much of the footy.
Anchors
1. Morris' injury obviously. Footy can be a cruel game.
2. Suckling's decision making. I have no doubt he has been given licence to go for these daring kicks because they can cut through opposition zones when they work. But its when he chooses to go for it where he has no cover if it doesn't come off. That is just plain dumb. I wish he had half the footy smarts as Caleb Daniel with that leg canon of his.
3. Stuffing up certain goals with a wrong option or skill error. It happens too many times every week.

Not sure if it's enough to change anything but he goit suspended for kneeing a Melbourne player last year.

Wood copped a dollar fine but because it was his third, he was suspended for a week. (Mine you the report was ridiculous)
Agree, Redpath should cop a fine.
Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
The lack of cameras at Cairns might help Jack too
Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18 vs Gold Coast Suns
I'll call it a push that hit Lynch in the head that happened to have a fistful of jumper. A jumper head push is not a reportable offence. ;)
