    Banker
    Boyd- playing like that will silence the haters

    Roberts- Hawkins looked set for a big night but thought Fletch battled on manfully.

    Effort- Cannot be faulted

    Anchor
    Roughead- he ain't giving us much atm. Even his defensive positioning was off tonight.

    Wood- tried to do too much which actually lead to him not doing a lot.

    Injuries- please *!*!*!*! off.

      Bankers:

      Tom Boyd - his meaningful time forward was fruitful. His work down back was very solid and his rucking was manful albeit ineffective. Play him deeper, for longer.

      Bevo - to get that sort of effort over 4 quarters in the circumstances was a testament to his capacity to get boys up and running. We didn't grind to a halt late, came out snarling and had times in the game where we could have landed really damaging blows.

      Cordy - good hands, work rate and positioning. Terrific effort at both ends.

      Anchors:

      Stevens - gave us very little.

      Libba's ankle and the opponent that fell across it. #FFS

      favourable treatment of Selwood by the umpires, it's an unusual feature of footy. Hamling slaughtered by umpiring too.

        Looking at younger players only...
        Bankers
        Dunkley was great for a first year player - on some occasions breaking even against much bigger opposition
        Cordy worked into game after a quiet first quarter. Can see him getting more games in future
        Daniel worked the hardest I have seen him without the ball. Liked what I saw
        Boyd put himself fully into the contest and was the cleanest I have seen him with his possessions
        Bont was the Bont....

        Anchors
        Hamling looked a little besieged up forward (thought he was better when shifted back in last term)
        Jong is a bit frustrating with his decision making - would rather that he stays down sometimes versus trying to outmark much taller opponents or going third man up - leaves us exposed at ground level when he does this
        Smith applied enormous pressure but didn't get enough of the ball
        Stringer looked like he wasn't 100% yet. Little impact.
        There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.

          Bankers.

          Tom Boyd - well done. Played terrific all over the park.

          Dunkley - this kid is going to be a 200 gamer for sure. He does a lot of hard body work that first year players don't normally do. He's only going to get stronger too.

          Dahl - thank God for Dahl. We have missed that quick thinking quick ball movement in tight. So glad to have him back.

          Anchors

          1. Koby Stevens - he loves playing the lesser like teams but never shows up against quality opposition. He doesn't have a creative bone in his body.

          2. Umpires - I have tried not to anchor the umps lately but seriously. There's 3 of them out there and they still can't get it right. How Selwood didn't get pinged for holding the ball and at least 3 occasions where he was chased down after trying to take on the world is unbelievable, and then to call holding the ball against Hunter when he doesn't have it and you award the free to the player who actually has the ball is just plain old cheating.

          3. When Geelong beat us at Etihad, I said they'll never play a flukey arsey straight kickng pull goals from their rectums game like that again, well I was wrong. Why do they save their best for us. I watch them against other teams and they are like everyone else where some goals go in and some don't, but not when they play the bulldogs. I HATE Geelong so much.
          They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

            B: Winning the last quarter - great team effort; first half - only out scored by 1 goal - team effort all round.

            A: team anchor for letting them get away in the 3rd quarter. We basically lost the match because of one poor quarter.

These came late in the game too, so the legs would be heavy.
              Going short out of defence, no worries.
              But no-one did this effectively. From what I saw he kicked well 15-20 metres and 30-40 and looked creative. The most pleasing aspect of his game was his want to put his body on the line, exactly what we needed from him last night and we got it. That mark going back with the flight was first class. that's what we need from him.

              Bankers:

              Adcock as above. Played his best game for us. Wasn't a stand out but he finally returned some of the faith with a solid game.

              Tom Boyd. Competed well in the air and looked for body contact when the ball hit the ground. A coming of age game for our future champ.

              Caleb Daniel, close to our most creative player full stop.

              Anchors:

              Libba then Macrae you've got to be joking me I'm lost for words.

              The Geelong crowd booing at any free kick against the opposition. They say that isolation breeds mental strangulation and sleepy hollow is just far enough away from the western oval to confirm that premise [with apologies to our regional supporters including me at one stage as I was born in Geelong].

              This is extremely superficial but Tom Hawkins' faux porn star mo. It isn't even November, absolutely pathetic. Not only this their arrogance when they kick a goal, it's like '...oh sorry [smile] I thought I might take that shot I'll give you a go next time ok!' smugness. I hope we smash them in a final with a full team. A second semi would be nice.
              But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                On TV after the footy they had a show ( can't remember the name ) and Dunks was on it. Spoke really well and very appreciative of Luke, who came to his house in Kew to have dinner and welcome him to the club. Comes from a great footy family.

                  Yes he was certainly under the pack a lot getting stuck into them. Great, and that's what you would expect from a former captain of the Lions, who are a side with a lot of pride in that aspect of their game. Anyway, it's great to see us getting something from him.

                    bankers:
                    The Bont for firstly the sublime passage of play where he sold the dummy and then speared an exquisite kick to someone in the fwd line (its a blur who) and secondly for that moment where he showed mongrel that i didnt think he had in him towards the sook Selwood.

                    Dunkley - hard but also composed. A keeper

                    T Boyd - there has to be a strong mental inner belief to perform so well, in tough conditions, when everyone in town is talking about you in derogatory terms. I just heard Bevo call him a blue chip investment and as usual Bevo is right.

                    Anchors

                    Geelong. The place. The club. The many ways they've broken our hearts over the years. The whining parochial supporters. The Scott brother petulance. I could go on. And on...

                    Umpires. The decision against Hunter summed it all up.

                    Duncan for the miserable cowardly attack on Caleb.

                    I cant even begin to mention the injuries. But I'd love to get in the time capsule and reset the game from the moment Libba went off. Even with the decimated team we fielded, I think if Libba, who was playing like a man possessed, had stayed fit, we'd have finally broken that Geelong curse to smiithereens.
