Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 5 2016
Banker-
Tom Campbell- great first game for the year, hopefully the start of a very big year for him.
Mitch Wallis- a brilliant performance last night, absolute beast at the contest.
Koby Stevens- his work rate is truely outstanding.
Marcus Adams- his grandfather passed away yesterday, thought he performed admirably under the circumstances.
Anchors-
The bomb to no one- drove me nuts, need to lower our eyes!

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 5 2016
Just catching up with the game due to family commitments. So all I have at the moment is one anchor:
Anchor: Goal Umpire for not calling Lin Jong's goal from the boundary. The replay shows it clearly pitched behind the goal line. Shocking mistake.

Bankers
Dahlhaus is a testament to heart over ability. He gets smashed week in week out and gets up every time. He never stops and he never gives up. An inspired rookie selection.
Morris is an absolute gem. Good to hear Jonathan Brown wrapping him up last night. He's made a career out of consistency and looks like he's still got plenty in him. I don't think I could love him more. An inspired rookie selection.
Dickson. A great return after a longish lay off. Showed the same desperation that has made him a regular best 22 player. I think we're a better team when he's on the field. An inspired smoky selection.
Anchors
I love that our guys play for each other. I love that we are unselfish. But I think we've maybe gone a little too far, most noticeably in the forward fifty. Just kick the goal.

http://www.afl.com.au/video/2016-04-...nce-denies-dogGuys, the replay is on the AFL website and I will swear that it pitches clearly behind the goal line. There is daylight between where the ball pitches and the line.

No I don't think he will. I was suggesting a Campbell/Boyd set up could be more damaging than Roughead and either. It would be reliant on Campbell being an effective ruck for 60/70 of the game but having 2 genuine threats up forward could be a weapon.

So you're on Team Campbell rather than Team Roughy?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Roughy's been pretty good, but he doesn't have the ability to hurt teams forward like Campbell or Boyd, plus his durability each week and within games themselves is always questionable. I'd like to see the Campbell/Boyd set up given a go.

The goal line camera also showed this on the countless replays last night.

I'm pretty sure the rule is that the ball has to go all the way over the line, part of the ball was over the line but it bounced back into the field of play. It's really just an unfortunate bounce that you wouldn't see happen for years when it happens at that particular spot.

Don't disagree, but I do like Roughy's ability to go back if the opposition gets on top and loads up with talls in their forward line.
Each of Roughy, Campbell & Boyd offer different, yet complimentary skill sets.
Roughy is the mobile, link up option that can go back (and forward but in a limited capacity). Campbell is the bigger bull that is good in the air, more durable and is an aerial option up forward. Boyd is the pinch hitter that is better as a more stay at home option.
I think it CAN work with all 3, but I don't think Bevo sees it as the optimal set up.

So much of our game is predicated on getting the ball into our forward 50 and keeping it there with pressure. Unless Roughy plays back I don't see room within this game plan for 2 x 200cm plus forwards. It's difficult because I think at this point all 3 have earned a spot.

Ok, another reason to look forward to the replay this afternoon.
