Bankers and Anchors - Round 4 2016

[Eastdog]

This is the round 4 edition of the Weekly Bankers and Anchors Thread. Once the game against Carlton 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.

2. Our second half - only 4 goals.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 4 2016

Bankers- suckling , a tremendous pick up, and compliments our side
- Caleb Daniel >>>>> Liam 1.1 mil for 3 years Jones
- The first half , we were great and ran out of gas, and was interesting that Hawthorn were very flat
Anchors - injuries, it's not how many but who .
- The commentary, honestly they spent 5 minutes guessing what Nicknane Marcus Adams had, and didn't call the play .
- Carlton crowd , for a so called " big 4" that's given them 16 flags, where the f*** were they?

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 4 2016

Bankers: Dale Morris is our rock in times of trouble. Bob - your inspiration.
- At one point Bont had three or four effective kicks for three goals. Great first half.
- First goal in the Tri-color! Jeddly Deadly. Joins Tutt, and....statisticians please?

Anchors
- JJ's hamstring.
- There is a balance between mayham and plodding. We have to find it.
- Commentary, as usual. Telstra's video codec. As bad as each other.

BANKERS

1. Hunter - his ability be in the contest all the time. He is everywhere. He has great endurance for a young man.
2. Stevens - he keeps crashing packs and let's the opposition know they have to earn their every possession.
3. Winning - much better than losing especially against Carlton.

ANCHORS

1. Injuries injuries injuries - seriously! 3 of our runners out of the backline injured. 2 of them long term. This sucks!
2. Kicking to Tom Boyd - he does need to learn how to out position his opponent and protect the ball but the kicks in to him aren't making his job easier. You could say the same for Stringer.
3. Umpire who reported Jong - I've seen chess games with more impact than that!

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 4 2016

Bankers
Bontempelli's 1st half.
Character, a 6 goal win after a difficult week when the going got tough.
30-13 free kicks, most were deserved and we will take that ratio every week.

Anchors
Injuries
One Fox commentator is way in front on the NACA leader board.
