Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

[Eastdog]

This is the round 2 edition of the Weekly Bankers and Anchors Thread. Once the game against St. Kilda 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.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

Bankers-

Johannisen
Adams
Murphy

Anchors-

Bontempelli- just struggled today, probably had a hard tag the entire time

M. Boyd- looking very old out there and stuggled with ball in hand

Macrae- possibly the worst game that I've seen him play, he made a lot of strange out the side kicks and generally wasn't very good at all.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

Bankers:
JJ- That steal and run up the wing and the delivery to Stringer saved a goal and created one. Outstanding
Dahl - Had nearly a quarter of our tackles. 13 out of 59
Roughead - Battled exceptionally well in the ruck and around the ground

Anchors:
Suckling - That shot at goal on the run in the 3rd was an absolute mess
Bont - For missing an absolute wide open pass to a leading forward under no pressure in the 2nd which lead to the ball heading straight back up the other end
Liam Picken - For dropping mark of the year

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

Bankers

JJ- He is a jet, such a key to the way we play.

Adams- Can't believe he's only played two games. His defending was excellent, his composure in traffic was good, and his kicking was very effective as well.

Roughead- I've been happy with what he's brought to the ruck so far.

Anchors

Suckling- Played like a lair most of the night. Wouldn't take the first option and tried to do flashy things that often hurt the team. Needs a kick up the arse after that effort.

Goal kicking- It's a bad as it gets at the moment. It'll cost is games no question.

Margin- I would've loved to really bury St Kilda tonight. I'm probably being a bit fussy.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

Marcus adams.
That guy is as cool as a cucumber. Well done young man.

JJ - kid has no ceiling. Lightning speed and credit to the coaches for giving him that license to run

Lachie hunter - you need possession winners that use it well i thought he and caleb daniel did i great job tonight


Anchors: no complaints. Maybe piggy with the dribble kick. Use ur cannon son.

+1 Stevens. Very selfless tonight. Accurate. Hes a complete player that doesnt draw too many accolades. Great choice.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

Bankers: Roughead in the ruck. Toby Mclean playing only his 6th game looked dependable. Dale Morris was his usual Rock of Gibralter.

Anchors: although we won easily, the floodback and fast break tactics of the Saints clearly troubled us and I think a lot of our players didn't adjust and here or there looked to be lairising.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

Bankers
Marcus Adams at fullback.
JJ - his intercept was the top highlight, the best running back in the AFL at the moment.
Toby McLean - a cool head and talented beyond his years.

Anchors
3rd quarter blues and accuracy in front of goal.
We should have buried the diver's mob by more.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

Bankers:
1. Adams saving the day multiple times.
2. Dahlhaus all heart and workrate.
3. Lachie Hunter played a fantastic game.

Anchors:
1. None. Those boys have conceded only 5 goals a game. We are top of the ladder. We may even go into the Hawks match as favourites. They don't deserve any anchors from me.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

Bankers:
Adams - was terrific again in defence. Slotting in very well. I have a great deal of trust in his ability at this point in time.
Roughie - consecutive strong performances, hitting his straps as a ruck man.
Daniel - a catalyst.

Anchors:
St Kilda - absolute horror of an organisation and collection of ordinary human beings. Shameful people.
Rooey love in - champion player, would have been happy to see him stink it up further. Flog.
Goal kicking - just want us to have a night where everything goes to gold, really hammer the scoreboard.

JJ- That steal and run up the wing and the delivery to Stringer saved a goal and created one. Outstanding

I saw someone on twitter refer to it as "In one play JJ stopped a certain goal by creating a certain goal".

Was great to watch, the crowd had a mini explosion when he intercepted it.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

Bankers:
1. Team football we just run and cover for each other
2. Adams just reads the play so well.
3. Our backline scungy and tough love em
Anchors
Our poor conversion it really needs to be fixed before it costs us 4 points.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 2 2016

B:
Our backline....for the second week in a row
Marcus Adams....continues to surprise
Caleb Daniel....a pure footballer.

A:
Suckling and Dahl's dinky shots at goal. FFS just kick the ball properly.
Stringer was lazy tonight.
Bont's ball use was unbelievably poor tonight.
