Bankers and Anchors - Round 9

[F'scary]

To be fair they were starved of opportunities to do this yesterday.

My embarrasing bad! I had in mind the past few weeks.

Just watching the replay back now, will need to add another anchor - the commentators!

Apparently, despite kicking 11.4 so far this season, Tom Boyd has a major problem with his kicking for goal, and the Matty Boyd off half back experiment hasn't worked for us!

That was Shaw but to be fair one of the commentators (can't remember who) did mention the move had been positive and that his passing accuracy had improved significantly due to having more time to dispose of it.

In light of being late to the game I decided to watch the first 20 minutes, and picked up the same pieces of commentary and had to laugh. If I was so unaccountable to reality at work I'd get pulled up for it.

These guys can say what they like, and nobody bats an eyelid.

Outstanding work rate and goal from the Chris Grant pocket!!

Let's not forget Jesse Stringer was a late out for us also.

Did someone seriously say that. My god they are pathetic.

Tom Boyd getting held almost every contest. Overall I wasn't upset by umpiring but he's got to be looked after a little more.

I thought he did ok and he took some good marks and kicked some goals. I even put him in one of my bankers. He'll get there and from what Ive seen this year his going to be quality. I think his kicked over 10 goals this year now.

[Remi Moses]

Bankers- The team effort and intensity. Apart for about 10 minutes it was outstanding .
Boyd - dermie made a good point about all the play in front of him, so he's lack of pace in getting caught doesn't eventuate.
Great poise as well
Picken - reinvented himself as a player
Wallis - stood up in the absence of his mate
Minson- just monsterd Mummy. Arguably his best game for two years
Dahl- would be right up there for b+f
The back 6 were terrific for such an inexperienced lot
Anchors - the goal kicking. This was an 80 pt win
The crowd - should have been more than that.

They showed it on one of the footy shows this morning. Very complimentary of the work rate.

Yeah Dermot Brereton said it when he was interviewing Tom Boyd before the game.

Finally got a chance to sit and watch the game, what an enjoyable experience

Bankers:
-Roughy- I've been one of his biggest critics I think, didn't believe he deserved the vice captaincy and barely a spot in the side on performance last year but that was probably the best I've seen him play. The stats don't show it but he was a real warrior in the ruck, ditto Minson. That's the pairing moving forward for mine

-Wood- He's blossomed into something we'd hoped but probably never expected. Not much else more to say really.

-Wallis- Think he'll have a few kids wearing the number 3 on his own merits. His work in traffic is very much 'goes where angels fear to tread' type stuff. It's a trait in a fair few of our kids mind you

Anchors-
-Goal kicking obviously
-Griff didn't cop more

what more were you hoping for?

[Happy Days]

Bankers

Wood is the clubhouse leader for any non key position defensive spot in the All Australian Team. He's a rolled gold gun now and the last gift of Scott Clayton

Mini Boyd is going okay for a player that hasn't worked on the back flank for the last month

Wallis - best game ever, well done bloke

Anchors

Whoever compared poor Jake to that piece of human garbage Jesse Stringer

Griffen and Ward for pissing off

Inefficiency - we should be in the 8 on percentage this week and we aren't

Was hoping for a Minson crunching tackle at some stage, Griff probably didn't have enough of the footy for that to be possible

Completely agree. The guys is in year 2 of his AFL career. What impresses me most is that he gets to contests and more often than not brings the ball to ground. He straightens us up and gives is u a target. If he kicks 25 goals this season I will be happy.
