Bankers And Anchors - Round 19 2016 vs Geelong

[Eastdog]

This is the round 19 2016 edition of the Weekly Bankers and Anchors Thread. Once the game against Geelong 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

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.

3 Bankers, 3 Anchors

[bulldogtragic]

B

Tom Boyd - Three goals despite awful delivery. Some good linking play, ruck work and defensive marks.
Daniel - At least he looked composed
Dahl - Great to have you back

A

Delivery into the forwardline. Garbage. Again.
Adcock & Hamling look like they need to be delisted. Jong & Stevens traded.
Injuries. Whichever god we upset, on behalf of this club, I am very deeply sorry.
Umpires. Selwood can't get paid holding the ball in obvious ones, Hunter gets paid one when he didn't have possession. Cheats.

[Ghost Dog]

Bankers - Biggs was Good. Threw himself into far larger bodies and while his disposal was a bit erratic, he was under siege.
Luke D - Kamakazi
Caleb - Holds his head up high
Attitude of our boys. Big hearts and Geelong can't really celebrate that hard. They got a lesson by a bunch of kids on crutches.

A - Adcock's kicking.
- The long bomb - we have to try something different.
Decision making was atrocious into 50.

[Remi Moses]

B After a week of relentless blood in the water scrutiny Tom Boyd was excellent .
Luke D was sensational
The effort was excellent, under duress
A the injury list is just insane , and it's season ending
The kicking and bombing into 50 cost us constantly .
The Chris Scott arms out flat out whinging at every umpiring decision is tiresome

I thought Adcock kicked the ball well tonight.

Bankers
Dahl - wonderful comeback game.
Tom Boyd - his best game to date. Showed a lot of character out there tonight.
Caleb Daniel - a four quarter effort.
Anchs
Poor delivery into forward line.
Injuries
Umpiring was inconsistent. Free against Hunter was obscene.
Our poor kicking into the forward 50.
Injuries again.

I thought Adcock kicked the ball well tonight.

So did I. Had to look up his DE to make sure I wasn't just looking at just the good disposals. 77% DE.

agreed, good summary

[bornadog]

Bankers

* Dahl's endeavour can't be faulted, we have really missed him

* Tom Boyd - excellent game

* Daniels composure and efficiency

Anchors

* Dahl - 50% disposal efficiency and 6 clangers - but I forgive him

* Injuries - Hope Libba and Macrae don't miss games

* Second half scoring of 3.10 compared to first half 8.2

Bankers-
- Tom Boyd. Did what he needed to do.
- Spirit. Didn't give up.
- Caleb Daniel. My main man! Little nugget is a gun.

Anchors-
- Poor defence (and attack tbh). I have no idea what we're gonna do when Morris hangs up the boots. I'm genuinely worried.
- GEELONG. F*** I HATE THEM. Why do they get so many effing home games in Geelong?! I hate the town, I hate the club, I hate the Geelong Advertiser, I hate the supporters! Ughghghghh.
- The Scott brothers. Oh my lordy, the hatred I feel.

[Ghost Dog]

So did I. Had to look up his DE to make sure I wasn't just looking at just the good disposals. 77% DE.

There were a few instances where we just needed that last kick into 50 to hit a target. While stats give an overall picture, there were a few key moments when we had momentum he, being a senior player, wish he may have done better. These came late in the game too, so the legs would be heavy.
Going short out of defence, no worries.

[Bulldog4life]

1. Much improved game from Tommy Boyd, His straight kicking a feature
2. Caleb Daniel again superb with the ball in and out of traffic
3. Impressed by Zaine's game. Prefer him to Hamling in the backline in the coming weeks.

1. Woody had an off night unfortunately in his 100th match
2. Chris Scott's exaggerated antics in the coaching box appealing for every free kick is matched only by his brother.
3. Ling should be banned from commenting on all Geelong games. His biased opinions are nauseating.

[Greystache]

Bankers

Boyd showed what a player he will be. We need to let him be a forward far more than he is at the moment.

Even in a quiet game Bonti is out best player.

Even half fit Dahlhaus is in our best 5 players

Anchors

We can't play a match without multiple serious injuries.

Our defence is as bad as we feared it might be

I don't see any upside in Hamling forward or back.

[Eastdog]

Bankers

1. Tom Boyd - Very good game.

2. Josh Dunkley - quality player

3. Dahl - good return


Anchors

1. Hamling up forward - although he was around not very affective up there

2. Not taking our chances inside 50 - had many in there for little reward

3. Injuries - When will our luck change
