Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

They both pushed up high in the zone from the point kick out.. No-one, including these 2 bothered to look behind to watch Sicily sneak out the back.

Really hurt not having Wood in the game. Would of made a huge difference with some of those goals they got from quick play.

He was the sweeper in the Swans game last year who cut off that final inside 50 for them - we did miss him in the closing stages last night.

Bankers:

Dahlhaus, Caleb Daniel, Libba, Boyd Jr, Wallis, Roughead, Biggs, Morris. I'm not 1,2,3-ing it as they all gave their all.

Anchors:

Apart from Murphy's knee and the result it was a fantastic game of football, and though we lost and we're all doom and gloom on WOOF we have shown to ourselves, at least, that we are the real deal. We are the real deal. This is Hawthorn. Stringer slotting it wasn't going to make them just lay down and die. We got caught in the headlights but we not only got back in the game, we dominated. We proved it: we are the real deal. The rest will come with time and experience. Imagine this side with an average 40 more games each and that's the Hawks: we are the real deal.

Did I mention we are the real deal?

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

Bankers:

Daniel - what a player he is

Adams - only play a few games and look solid down back

Dahlhaus - very good game yesterday

Other mentions: Libba and Boyd I thought did well.


Anchors:

Robert Murphy our captain injuring his knee at the end was bad

The 1st quarter and start of the 4th quarter

Our goal kicking still needs some work

The umpiring at times

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

How did woofers rate Picko's game yesterday? JJ wasn't didn't influence the game too much yesterday. Stringer was a bit dissapointing. Bonti - more banker or anchor?

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

Edit: another change being considered - Blood rule forces AFL rethink on interchange cap

I tend to agree with this change, Seems to be a commonsense adjustment.

They continually change because they can't think of every contingency.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

Bankers-
Dahl
Caleb
Adams

Anchor-
That putrid umpiring in the first qtr put us behind the eight ball from the start.
If those green mucus' don't have a Bromance with Hawthorn then I'm not of sound mind.
Utterly disgusting to see how much man love they have for the Dawks.
It makes me I'll!!!

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

Bankers:
1. the way our team modified its style after the first quarter to take into account the lack of outside space.
2. the persistence shown by our senior players. Even though they weren't racking them up like the first couple of matches, they kept at it.
3. Suckers for increased deployment this week of his leg cannon.


Anchors:
1. the Hawthorn "fan" sitting immediately behind us.
2. the deliberate out of bounds rule jumps to the top of the list of things the AFL "brains trust" can't get right.
3. Murphy's injury. Be back next year, Cap'n Bob.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

Bankers:
1. That in the third qtr we had the almost unheard of stat of DOUBLING the Hawks' contested possessions. Forget all about sexy footy, exciting footy. That is one enormous thing to take away from the match. It's premiership style footy. Imagine when our young brigade can do this for a whole match.
2. The sheer will and competitiveness of Dahl and Caleb. Caleb took 8 marks too!!
3. Matching the Hawks and so nearly winning with our marquis players Bont and String ineffective.
Honourable mention to the incredibly loud passionate Dogs fans. We nearly got them over the line with a tidal wave of noise.

Anchors:
1. Ray 'look at me' Chamberlain.
2. Jitters around goal - not just missing shots, over possessing, not taking first instinct options.
3. The cruel cruel fates that strike the best bloke in footy. Please please please come back in 2017. You deserve to be there when we win that flag.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

B:

Daniel - Welcome to the big time mate. Some mistakes early had me worried but you fought to get into the game and have an impact

Dahl - There's the reason why teams are putting a lot of work into stopping you. Awesome to see you finish hard work under pressure

Fight - Great to see us come back from a five goal deficit against the premiers


A:

Murphy - Nuff said

Skill level - Yes, Hawthorn put great pressure on around the ball and make it hard to use it but really, some of our skill errors belied an afraid and nervous team. We need to move on from that

Complexity - We don't need it in the forward line. Take a bloody shot at goal when it's your turn and make the most of your opportunities. Professional footballers should eat the chance to hit the scoreboard for breakfast, and if you don't want to then you should be doing something else. It frustrates me so much

Same here. We miss from 30 odd metres or less, someone like Gunston slots it from 50. Yeah I know, different players etc... but the basic goal (pun intended) is to kick it through the big sticks.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 3 2016

Daniel : Enough about his stature. A rolled gold gun and showed it against the best. He's got a Brownlow in him.
Dahlhaus : Manic, creative and relentless.
Roughead : Perhaps not in our best three proper but gee he's tracking nicely in the ruck role. Liked his smarts, tap work and timely aggression.

B:

Umpiring : Kill me now.
Umpiring : No seriously.
Sicily : Possibly the most punchable head in footy.

Stray observation: after the initial shock and despair over Murph's misfortune, what's left is a searing desire to want to play this mob again. One expects Bev and the group agrees. Next time, we overthrow the king.

I thought Picken was great. Such a nuisance to the opposition and always gives 100%. I think given Dalhouse and Daniels performance his game and forward pressure has been overlooked somewhat
