Re: Bankers & Anchors: Rnd 14, 2023 vs North Melbourne

Bankers

- Bonts beast mode and quick hands in the second half
- weightmans marking and kicking
- solid performance from West. Good tackling and used the ball well when he had it
- naughton back and the space in our forward 50

Anchors

- tackling! Every week teams shrug us off or get the ball out. Every. Single. Week.
- Jones injury
- bakers inability to get rid of the ball
- Bailey smith - everything about him annoys me now
- Bailey Dales kicking around the ground

So it’s not just me getting this about him.

A really smart and good looking guy talked about trading him but was quickly told off for it.

What did they say? It could be a very interesting conversation and this is a place for interesting conversations… was that before or after he was outed as Mr 2%?

For argument sake, I think his trade value would exceed his actual output and ability. Was it something like that?

Pretty much spot on.

And yeah well before the 2% thing.

You’re right, that’s an interesting conversation of trading Bailey Smith this year. I wouldn’t tell off anyone floating it about…

Bankers
- Bailey Williams is one of our genuine versatile players. His ability to move to the back line was invaluable last night.
- Great to have a productive Weightman back to liven up our forward line.
- After Goldstein was really causing us some issues early it was a sign of the maturity of English to bounce back and be a dominate player was important.

Anchors
- Still disappointed with the output from Lobb. We need so much more from him.
- Baker's form is a concern. We need his run and carry but we also need him to minimise some errors.
- The crowd number was disappointing. I get why our Bulldog people stayed away but we won't ever be a genuinely strong club without a more resilient supporter base.

Bankers
- Weightman's set shots. It's such a contrast to our other forwards
- Don't make Bont angry. You won't like him when he's angry
- Scott. Probably the most underrated player in our team. Plays everywhere

Anchors
- Injury gods can GAGF
- I like Keath but he's no longer a KPD
- I really hope Marra's set shots improve, and fast. Everything else about him is elite, or damn close to it

His DNA is 2 percent pure mullet?

Imagine if he put some of the time from his hair into his kicking.

His holding of the ball as he runs into kick for goal is unorthodox to me. More like a right footer would hold it.

His run up, or stagger up looks nothing like it does when he kicks it well.

Yep, some bad habits have crept back in to his set shot routine.

I've seen some footage of the work he did on this in his teens (NGA days), and I think he needs another session or two.

Can only assume this is the 2% of intensity he shows each week

Re: Bankers & Anchors: Rnd 14, 2023 vs North Melbourne

Want this a think that Fev fought him. But our club doesn’t seem to value goal kicking or we would invest into it with our program.

We would have won 3 more games with better goal kicking

And a couple of teams might say the same in games against us. I doubt it's as straight forward as that.
