Bankers and Anchors - Round 5 vs GWS

[westdog54]

In memory of 'The Banker', who recently passed away, The weekly Slaps and Sledges/Saints and Sinners thread will now permanently be renamed the 'Bankers and Anchors" thread

This is the round 5 edition. Once the game against Greater Western Sydney 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.

As far as we are concerned it's a permanent change

Yep love it. It's a small gesture to The Banker, but spot on for this community.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 5 vs GWS

Bankers:

Griffen - huge first half, slowed down a little but worked hard all day.

Murphy - just about everything he did was good, just need him kicking the ball 20 times a game.

Wallis - showed some good poise at times today, and improved again on last week.


Anchors:

Wood - thought he did a few better things as the game went on, but I think he either needs a few weeks at VFL level, or a move out of the backline.

Jones - another who had a better second half, I know he isn't getting much help but he's struggling at the moment and his confidence must be dropping off.

Run and spread - it was the right decision to take Roughy off as we needed more run. We just seem very stagnate and struggle to move the ball cleanly once we've won it. A number of times today we had no run from behind the ball and were reduced to short chip kicks to work the ball forwards which wasn't an effective tactic.

Bankers:

Liberatore. In, under, winning it out with a long kick. Did his job well

Griff: 37 touches say no more

Vezpa: Good to see someone with enough pep not to be pushed around by a bunch of pubescent orange jaffas.

Dahlhaus: Liam Jones. Some excellent contested marks. Pity they weren't always converted.

Murphy: As reliable as a 1988 Corolla

Anchors: Higgins - Missed the gettable, and can often be seen giving others a bit of a spray. Don't like it.

Pace: We looked like a bunch of plodders and anytime they were able to get a player forward and turn it into a chase, we were bound to be beaten.

Last Quarter: Chipping it around like a bunch of noobs with 2 minutes left on the clock. My pet hate in moments.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 5 vs GWS

Bankers-
Picken- great work on Ward in the first half.
Wallis- great work in close
Minson- looking a lot better now he has the 1st ruck role

Anchors-
Our foot skills. Jones has the toughest job in footy.

Wood- I remember actually being worried that GWS would sign him...

Spread/pace

Special bonus 'Wanker'
