    Bankers and Anchors - Round 18

    This is the round 18 edition of the Weekly Bankers and Anchors Thread. Once the game against Essendon is concluded post your nominations for:

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

    Please limit it to no more than three of each, 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.

    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.

    You've got to know when to bank em, know when to bank em, know when to walk away, know when to run. BUMP.

      Stew - Sweet mate.
      Dickson - 21 and counting.
      Daniel - Awesome little player.

      A:

      Libba & Smiths knees. They would've dined out today.
      Umpiring maybe?
      Third one.

        Bankers
        Hunter two consecutive weeks now that he has been sensational.

        JJ his run and dash just opens up the field. Needs to still work on his disposal but he is so vital to how we play.

        Crameri his best game for the club, hopefully he can maintain his form.

        Anchors
        A good win for sure, but we still butchered quite a few entries into our forward fifty, especially in the first half.

            Special mention: 18 goals in under 3 quarters of play.

                Did I hear them say Morris' first game was against Essendon against Mich Hahn?

                    Well the bright side is they've not only not forgotten the man-beast Hahn but are sub-consciously associating him with the likes of McLeod and Ricciuto.

                      Bankers
                      Stewie- just outstanding
                      Wallis- another solid performance, keeps his feet and is great in close
                      Hunter- has stepped up to another level.


                      Anchors
                      Macrae- love his game but his kicking drives me up the wall
                      2nd quarter goal kicking- some shocking misses
                      Talia- I remain unconvinced
                      Park that car
                      Drop that phone
                      Sleep on the floor
                      Dream about me

                          Bankers -Crameri, that was coming . Great game
                          Daniel , the bloke next to me kept saying "midget" every time he touched it.
                          Said it often
                          Team effort- just wonderful pulling down their pants
                          Anchors - the final ball into the forward 50, we butchered it early .
                          - the 3.20 time slot. Just a shocker
                          - sad to see a great player like Cooney finished as a league player.

                            Our backline. Thought we were vulnerable but Morris and Talia toiled manfully against much bigger opponents and they received enormous support from Wood, Biggs etc
                            Humiliating the bombers. Even their supporters have given up on them.

                            That first quarter was a shocker.....even Easton Wood was struggling.
                            We can still tidy up our kicking into 50

                            needs to stop pointing and start chasing and tackling.
                            I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
