Bankers And Anchors - Round 4, 2018 vs Sydney Swans

I thought Suckling was one of our best today apart from his goal kicking. He was setting up a lot of our play. However his defensive side of his game has always been his downfall. I didn't see his non tackle that you guys are referring to and in any case is inexcusable.

I’m a fan, but he really needed to stick it. Right on the corner of the centre square, they goaled shortly after it.

Bankers: Our young players are getting the job done. I'm optimistic that we will be a force for a decade.
2. To bounce back after a disastrous start shows mental toughness and good coaching.
3. Our ball movement is much better into the forward 50.

Anchors
1. I never thought I would say this but the Bont is not doing enough.
2. Dahl OOB from 30m - there are no words...!!!
3. Franklin. A protected species. Why is he given so much more time with the ball than any other player. Oh, I know why? He's tall and can't employ the Sellwood shoulder shrug so has to be compensated.

And while I'm at it, the Bont had clearly taken a mark so why was Franklin allowed to punch the ball out of his hands? Jack Hill the blind miner could see that. FMD!
Free kick to Parker - goal. Free against Naughton, who's CHANGE IN BODY MOVEMENT BY A SHAKE OF THE HIPS was adjudged PRIOR OPPORTUNITY - goal! Those sort of decisions are never made against name players but if you are a new boy on the block - watch out - you're fair game.

Bankers:
1. Macrae's sidestep is back. By god he's been good this year
2. We beat the Swans in general play
3. The Fremantle recruiting staff who were tipped to take English at pick 8 but passed on him. Where shall I send the thank you bouquet?

Anchors:
1. Footskills. I like your endeavour HC & Jong but we will be a better side when you are replaced.
2. Richards will be a gun player for us in time, but he clearly needs more time before he's a week in, week out proposition
3. We were 18th for goal accuracy last year and we've still managed to go backwards.

Re: Bankers And Anchors - Round 4, 2018 vs Sydney Swans

Bankers:

1. Team defence effort (very special mention to Easton Wood) on Lance Franklin. Prior to the game it could have been very ugly.

2. Our comeback in the 3rd quarter. Swans dominated play for the last 10 mins of the 2nd and first 10 mins of the 3rd quarter. We could have turned our toes up and let Sydney run away with it. But we didn't.

3. Tory Dickson's goal in the first quarter.


Anchors:

1. Jason Johannisen: At the start of the last quarter on the members wing / half back line he had an opportunity to gather the ball and stream forward, however he hesitated and appeared to wait for the players coming in the opposite direction. JJ take the ball, take the hit and run.

2. Missed opportunities due to poor execution

3. Not shutting down the quarter when there is two minutes or less left. In all four quarters the Swans had set shots either just prior to the siren sounding or after the siren.

B

English covers the ground and has some serious toe. So important

Dickson's goal. Such skill.

Bonts kick to Dunkley. Just super.

A.

Richards found it hard in the heat of battle. Cost us a couple of goals with rookie errors. But love his endeavour.

Missed opportunities in the last 5 minutes.

The run from behind and to provide options seemed to drop off in the 2nd half.

Diabolical turnovers

Banksmen

Naughton backing himself at all opportunities to sit in front of players and intercept - equal parts courage and skill. Easily his best game, horrific turnover notwithstanding.

Bontempelli is just awe-inspiring. That kick to Dunkley is probably the best kick I've ever seen, if not just behind Suckling's set shot from the 4th row in Ballarat last year.

Biggs' haircut. Rubbish game but at least he looked tough doing it.

Anchsmen

Gowers never again EVER never EVER EVER NEVER AGAIN. Have you ever been surer of a horrific turnover than when he had the ball on the back flank, only to see him deliver in spades? Sometimes I hate it when I'm right. Good on him for actually working past the halfway line for once though.

Honeychuch and Hunter's petty "aggression" - Hunter's was worse and more dog, especially from a "leader", but at least he's good. Honeychurch - if you're going to offer the team absolutely nothing then at least be disciplined.

Set shot goal kicking, which is still fine and not a problem. If I didn't know better I would accuse Dunkley of pragmatically dropping that Bont pass to save us all from having to watch him miss yet again.

Re: Bankers And Anchors - Round 4, 2018 vs Sydney Swans

Bankers:
1) Wallis and his patient well weighted kicks into the forward 50 in the first quarter
2) Macrae, just getting better
3) Dickson's first quarter goal, from out of nowhere

Anchors
1) Dunkley and Dahlhaus for their miserable goal kicking exploits.
2) Redpath for a poor effort throughout the game and a poorly weighted pass on the wing.
3) Suckling and Dale. Suckling you have the kicking skills to have nailed that set shot, instead you tried to perform a cross body kick in a showboat effort. Dale for not having the poise to get a vital last quarter goal. Clueless effort.

You can add HC running into an open forward line and kicking it straight to the opposition, not even a point. Dunkley forgetting to take the mark and wanting to run into an open goal, Daniel trying to make the distant in the dying minutes and coming up short with a point the difference.

This thread is hard to read. Far out we stuffed our chance of getting our season really going.
