Bankers And Anchors - Round 17, 2017 vs Carlton

Re: Bankers And Anchors - Round 17, 2017 vs Carlton

There was one occasion in the centre, where Boni didn't even bother jumping, he just let Kreuzer punch the ball, then he chased it and won the clearance .

People can complain about the MC and the tactics in the ruck, but when you have TBoyd, and Campbell injured, Cloke also coming back from mental injury and not available, you can't then put in 18 year old English. Redpath gives us ZERO in the ruck, so may as well have a mid who can then shark the ball from low on the ground.

We won the game, and the tactics worked.

Yes....but you can be smarter about how you do it. No reason why Roughy couldn't take every centre bounce.

The point about Dahl's kicking is intensifying by the week; he used to be adequate, he's now a turnover merchant.

His work rate is magnificent, but his decision making and ball use is starting to be a real issue - particularly by foot.

Roughy was resting on the bench.

Put Suckling in there, Macrae, Libba, even Daniel. Anyone but your once in a generation midfielder.

Lucky you or some of the other posters aren't on the MC.

Really? So you can't see away it couldn't be organised that he gets to the centre for the contest?

I am not a coach, or sports scientist, but Roughy was resting on the bench and someone had to take the centre bounce. All I know is they have set periods on the bench.

I thought Bont in ruck was a win for us and a big part of us getting the points.

What part of his time in the ruck impressed you?

It couldn't have been his tap work as he was credited with '0' hit outs.

Yeah, the MC are flying this year.

Re: Bankers And Anchors - Round 17, 2017 vs Carlton

I helped my girlfriend's dad move house yesterday before the game. In the course of moving we had to set up a makeshift rope pulley system to lower a couch from their balcony to the ground. Whilst we were doing this, the old man decided it would be a good idea to manually flip the couch over as it descended, and jumped over the balcony rail to stand on a 50cm long ledge to do so; leaving him with no protection from a ~10m fall to the ground except his own balance. Needless to say it left me feeling incredibly stressed and worried, especially over something that was wholly unnecessary.

Anyway, this is how I felt seeing Bont in the ruck. Never again please.

The part where he got the loose contested ball. He wasn't played in the ruck to win the hit out.

Do it with someone less valuable then? If he's just in there to win the footy, why not make one of the lesser mids pretend to ruck and not risk injury to our best player.

There's legitimately no logic behind it.

Dunks is the ideal mid/ruck option - one of the many reasons why we miss him.

I guess the other 2 options(Dunks and Jong) are injured.
