    Bankers And Anchors - Round 10 2017 vs StKilda

    This is the round 10 edition 2017 edition of the Weekly Bankers and Anchors Thread. Once the game against StKilda is concluded post your nominations for:

    The Bankers = 3 guys/aspects of the game that we banked on to do the right thing during the game
    The Anchors = 3 guys/aspects of the game that weighed us down by their errors or poor play

    Optional: New addition to the Bankers and Anchors Banchors 3 players we thought who were in the middle in how they went in the game neither a Banker or Anchor.

    Please limit it to no more than three of each player or aspect of the game, but feel free to make honourable/dishonourable mentions. As usual try to make it constructive criticism.

    Try and restrict it to individual players rather than aspects of the overall match - I will allow more freedom now as the thread seems to be going down more of the aspects of the game path so you can have 3 for each made up of aspects of the game and individual players.

    The thread is named in honour of a popular WOOF Contributor, The Banker, who passed away on 22/04/2012 after a six month battle with cancer.

    Stringer. Got five, could've had six with his poster, could've had 7 if Bonts didn't burn him with that rubbish in the last.
    Bailey Dale. Poise, touch, skill, game sense. Really responded to having a run of games and not being yo-yod.
    Tim English. Looked really comfortable. Should've have a shot for goal if not for an umpire blocking him from marking inside 50.

    A

    Bonts. Team kicks 12.8 and he kicks 1.4. That garbage in the last where be burnt Stringer was probably his worse ever mistake.
    Bob's hamstring. Enough already, leave him alone footy God.
    Not getting a big percentage. Should've really, really cashed in but kept blowing very gettable chances.

    B
    The return of Biggs and Roughead
    Jake's 5, could have been 7 or 8.
    Lin Jong, hard at it all day

    A
    We didn't put the foot on their throat hard enough, % lost.
    Murph's injury if he misses games.
    Williams, great potential but more involvement needed

    B
    Stringer, not just the goals but his movement and use within the F50
    Bailey Dale, classy user of the ball
    Caleb Daniel, clever all day and balanced

    A
    Jong went hard all day but by god some of his decision making by hand is awful
    First quarter instructions (presumably) - missed open targets in the corridor to play down the line
    Bont's hip - looked really laboured when he ran today

    Bankers

    1. Stringer was on fire today

    2. Biggs - good game back

    3. Dale - great to see him get a bit of the ball (27 disposals) and help create some goals.

    Anchors

    1. Hunter - Some of his decision making was awful.

    2. Bont's goal kicking

    3. Ugly game to watch

    Re: Bankers And Anchors - Round 10 2017 vs StKilda

    Bankers

    Stringer - top effort today 5 goals

    JJ - important in getting us going

    Daniel - ditto like JJ

    Probably a few more I missed but only room for 3


    Anchors

    Some of Bonts shots at goal

    Turnovers that we made

    Murphy injury at the end I hope it's nothing too serious

    1. Stringer was excellent and the difference today. Great movement and work rate.
    2. Daniel is the smartest player ball in hand we have, some great defensive efforts too.
    3. Dale was super impressive; classy, poised and skilful. Hope we see more of it.

    1. Bont looks to be struggling, but still could have had a big game if he kicked well. Some really poor disposals by foot and hand.
    2. Murphy was costly a few times, looks good in open space but a little shaky under pressure at times.
    3. Boyd - needs to take marks.

    Dale accumulating 27 touches and a goal is a massive jump in production. Break out game for him.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Bankers
    Daniel - marshalled the forces down back, between the arcs and everywhere else.
    Stringer - great game back from injury
    Adams - does the little things well
    Anchors
    Bob's injury
    Our goal kicking
    Too many fumbles, poor handballs etc

    B
    Stringer gave us life up forward
    Daniel did it all defensively and creating attacks.
    Dale's best game yet.

    A
    Bont's missed goal in the last. Come on mate...you're better than that.
    After several weeks of great improvement, Jong took a step back today with some of his decision making.
    The game is general was pretty horrible to watch....thank god we won it.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    B:
    The Package. A delight to watch today. Dominant force I50.
    B Dale. Ran like the wind. Secure with the footy. Promising.
    C Daniel. Superb with the ball, courageous without. An efficient game.

    A:
    Bonti's goal kicking. Off the mark in a game where I thought the rest were starting to turn the corner on this front.
    Hunter handball to Stringer in the goal square. Ambitious.
    Jong handball inside 50 to player under the pump. Same error every week.

    Bankers
    Daniel BOG. Just class all day
    Stringer. Having a great season
    Dale. I just love the kid. Been confident he'll be a player and really starting to look like one.

    Anchors
    Longer. What a gutless cheap shotting coward. Saw him twice punch one of our players while they were pinned by one of his teamates. Bont went him for it which was good to see.

    Newnes. Pfff. Another guy who thinks he's a tough guy while hiding behind umps and videos.

    Late game injury to Murph.

    Its great to have movement and work rate next to Jakes name. I thought he might struggle first up after injury not being the fittest on the list but he was excellent. Love how he kept leading at the pill, he didn't do anything flashy just s good solid forwards game.

    Also was in defensive 50 in stages as well. Worked incredibly hard today, best game I've seen him play in a long time.
