Round 6 - Bankers and Anchors

Re: Round 6 - Bankers and Anchors

Why the Sherman hate? We need confident players. Hes definately in my best 22 - quick, strong, takes the game on. Just what we need. Id like to se him settle down and string some consistantly good games together under macs direction.

I agree Sherman's in my top 10, but he was awful yesterday....didn't get into the game and muffed a chance at goal late.....

Sherman - a passenger today, take the shot

Lots of posters having a crack at Sherman, but I think he played ok. He has changed his style of play under Macca and is now more team oriented as well as not just being an outside player. Of his 24 disposals, 9 were contested, this has been a major change.

Yes he should have had a shot for goal but would he have got it from that angle - who knows. He should have marked Higgins ball in the last quarter and been more aware of Harry O'Brien coming to intercept the ball. Overall he also created some goals and ran hard a few times to make leads.

Ive said in a previous post somewhere that Sherman is just that type of player in that one match he will turn up and have a really good game, another match he won't have a good game. Where would have last night performance be rated as more towards a Banker or Anchor?

Re: Round 6 - Bankers and Anchors

Group of them in the standing area behind me. One in particular didn't shut up all night. After Cloke's first goal (after being well held), he pipes up with "Ah Clokey, look at that Dogs, doesn't he look good?" I turned and calmly called "He'll look even better next season in Freo colours!"....

He didn't respond, and his mates even laughed.

I had a good chuckle at this, while on the subject of Cloke he was carrying on a fair bit to the umpire on the night about the way he thought he was being treated. Back a couple of seasons he would have got a free kick against him and a possible 50 metres for descent.

Re: Round 6 - Bankers and Anchors

Bankers:

Griffen - obviously.
Liberatore - his hands were great - but what really impressed me was how well he weighted his kicks.
Roughead/Minson - took control against a weak ruck combo.
Wood - terrific until injured.

Anchors -

Of the anchors - I think it was only 'anchor moments' rather than players - as the guys who committed bad turnovers - Higgins, Bob, Addison and Boyd (for that handball in board - in the back pocket which Pendles intercepted) all played fairly well.

Sherman should have taken that shot for goal....but played well overall.

I agree - and like what Sherman brings to the side overall. We've looked better with him in the team so far this year.

Along with Sherman I also think we look better balanced with Veszpremi in the team.

I hope we stick with Vez and his attack on the ball continues to improve. I think it will.

Re: Round 6 - Bankers and Anchors

Had to wait to watch the replay again

Bankers
Griffen-Fantastic in a big game once again
Wood- Took the games on, some of those side steps with speed to space were Dahlhaus-esq.
Lake-Good to see you back old boy

Anchors-
Missed handball targets- Boyd and Vez the biggest culprits, particularly in dangerous points of the ground.

Murphy-Kick to Cloke really disappointing by a senior player.

DJ-Need to know your limitations. Had the fumbles going as well which was disappointing after a solid month of footy.
