Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

[Eastdog]

This is the round 3 edition of the Weekly Bankers and Anchors Thread. Once the game against Hawthorn 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 3 2016

Bankers:
- Dahlhaus. Most determination and intensity I've seen him play with in a while, reminds me of his early days a bit.
- Daniel. Love this little nugget, pops up everywhere and tried his heart out.
- Roughead. I'll admit, I definitely have not been his biggest fan over the years but he's definitely growing on me with his improvement. I thought he was pretty good.

Anchors:
-JJ. What milestone game? Where were you?
- Stringer. Come on mate, feel free to help out a bit.
- Umpiring. What the actual efffffffffff.

- Dahlhaus. Enormous.
- Daniel. Love the little bloke.
- Roughy.
Honourable mention to Grizz, I like his game.

A
- Execution. When we get this right...
- Stringer. Hate to Anchor him but he needs to do better.
- Dawks people jeering Murph. Classless.
Special anchor to the guy who failed in three attempts to take a pic of me and Crammers. It ain't that hard.

Libba I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone more unwilling to lose a contested ball.

Dahlhaus I don't know how he can stay so energetic across 4 Qtrs playing at his speed. He just always seems to be in the thick of it all game, and at high speed.

A.
Stringers game today was putrid. Less the Package than was parcel thats been sat on.
The umpires- in the first half the Hawks were the beneficiaries of their largesse in the second half i think we on the end of some doubtful even-uppers.
3. Bob's knee. Just soul-destroying if this is how it ends.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

Bankers

Dahl- Effort as always, but execution was way up on normal. BOG for me.

Adams- Conceded a couple of marks that hurt us but kept us in it when the tide was against us.

Daniel- Started poorly but improved his efficiency as the game wore on and he was everywhere.

Anchors

Stringer- Was probably the difference between the two sides today. Given a bath by Stratton and the few times he got the ball he used it to Hawthorn's advantage.

Defensive set up- Why we would press up right to the forward 50m leaving multiple players out the back when all we needed to do was keep the ball in our half and force a stoppage? Just panic and no composure.

Another big game another close loss- 2 of our last 4 games have been close loses in big games when we've been in front late in red time. Massive concerns for what is supposed to be a new generation without the scars of the past.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

- Dawks people jeering Murph. Classless.

The *!*!*!*!ing bitch next to me yelling "you're too old, retire Murph" made me want to point out that a) she's looking at the oldest team in the comp and b) Murph deserves some respect unlike snipes and thugs at Hawthorn.

Such nuance would be lost at the football

B
Our comeback from 5 goals down was very satisfying.
Libba and Wallis were huge in getting us back into the game along with Dahl.
Caleb Daniel just played his breakout game.

A
Stringer.....a nightmare day.
Our defensive set up for the winning goal
Murph......it just isn't fair.

Daniel smashing Ceglar at the top of the goal square. Says all you need to know about him.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

Banker
The whole team, no-one holds any fears for us and don't Hawthorn know it.

Anchors
Deplorable first quarter umpiring, how Chamberlain continues to get a gig is beyond belief.
We needed another big man up forward.
Any person at the game who clapped Bob's injury, he is the All-Australian Captain and you are simply lowlifes.

Libba tried hard no doubt but i thought his hands were poor for most of the day compared to his normal standards. Will bet better for the run for sure.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

B:

Tackling, particularly in the 2nd half was aggressive and mostly effective.
Boyd in the ruck and inside 50 grew as the game wore on, took his big moment. Wish he nailed the easier set shot though,
Bulldog crowd was very parochial, really fired up when the match was in the balance.

A:
7 goals against directly from free kicks.
Bob
Inability to find a way to get the result.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

Bankers

1. Marcus Adams - another great game. His marking is as good as it gets. He just needs to work on his disposal and when to spoil if he is out of position.

2. Roughead - to be 3rd in the pecking order for the 1st ruck position and play the way he is shows he is made of the right stuff. He's keeping Minson and Campbell back at Footscray.

3. Dahl - his efforts were unbelievable. He must wake up a sore boy after games.

Anchors

1.Stringer - he had a severe case of the fumbles today. He was almost all day.

2. Bob's knee - footy is so unfair sometimes.

3. Umpires - seriously, they surely couldn't accept their pay packet this week. Some of those decisions were borderline cheating or borderline moronic but more than likely both. Those deliberate out of bounds were criminal.
