Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18

Grant was another who just didn't give us any one percenters today.

Did you watch the game today? Grant beat his opponent, kept him goalless.

No it wasn't a question.

Agree. I thought he showed a bit today.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18

I thought Grant did extremely well other than one or two lapses in concentration.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18

Bankers:

Minson - lone effort today
Tutt - tried hard, never through in the towel, provided some run
Grant - hought he was good down back. Looked assured and interested

Anchors

Gia - ineffectual (though to be fair the delivery as always was poor)
Jones - 1 handpass to half time is not enough - Minno up front gave us more
Lake - beaten from the first bounce

Look, your posts seem to be saying he played ok today. Well, I watched on TV and I don't think so. But he is in company. However, in Gia's case it is because he has played a season too many. To be fair, no-one saw it coming after his excellent season last year. But it has. It sure doesn't say much for the others that he was perhaps the best forward. Amen to that.

Had a question mark. But yeah, maybe I was saying I didn't think he played that well today. I said more on that just before.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18

Bankers,
Minson, another fine display
Dalhaus, committed defensive efforts. gives his all every game.
Murphy, where would we be without him

Anchors
Vez - very little contribution
Jones - back to Willy for the rest of the year.

No, you are off track. You need follow ALL the posts. I was surprised by two posters having him in their anchor as he was one of the few who kicked goals in the forward line. The ball reached the 50 only 39 times and he had 15 disposals. Not many can hold their heads up high today, maybe Minson, Murphy and its a struggle after that.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18

I'm in agreeance with the Grant looked reasonable down back group. Wasn't all positive but he showed a reasonable sense of when to peel off and help and read the ball well coming in

Bankers:
Grant - See above

Dahlhaus - He just keeps running and chasing every week. By far the biggest upside of the year

Pearce - wasn't sure we had much in him but his last 2 weeks have at least shown he isn't overwhelmed at the level and has been good defensively. Might be something there after all.

Anchors:
Vez - Oh Vez, why won't you justify my faith. Looked completely lost when subbed on and then once he seemed to have his head around his job, got burnt off by opponents and picked poor options defensively and offensively. I'm packing up the fan club.

Jones - Just lead up at the *!*!*!*!ing ballcarrier for *!*!*!*! sake.

Leadership group - In name only

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18

Bankers:

Grant - very encouraging performance down back. Read the play well and showed an appetite for the contest.

Bob - obliterated a very dangerous opponent in hot form despite the ball almost living in our defensive 50

Dickson - working very hard when the ball is in opposition hands, which is refreshing to see in our forward line. Also runs hard to provide a target for our mids.

Anchors:

Howard - he cannot even halve any one-on-one contest, gets beaten every single time. What future does he have as a defender when he cannot actually defend one-on-one?

Jones - it is such a thankless role being our go-to key forward with the disgusting, slower than treacle delivery into our forward 50, but he didn't work anywhere near enough to get separation on Simpkin and try to involve himself into the game

Crowd - it was akin to a Saints home game against an interstate club. We literally had nobody there.

Collective anchor to our midfield group, who were pantsed yet again by St Kilda's group. Boyd led the way by showing zero respect to his direct opponent Goddard all game. What a surprise to see Hayes get another BOG against us

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 18

Bankers

Murphy- Shutdown Mine effectively so we only had to live with one St Kilda douche having a good day.

Dahlhaus- Just has a crack all try the time whether it be defensively our offensively.

Dickson- Our only real forward option who can kick goals and not be a liability when the delivery is poor


Anchors

Jones- Has to work a lot harder when things aren't going well.

Howard- Is a witches hat when the ball is in dispute.

Midfield- Slaughtered by St Kilda's midfield for the 6th year running.

Yes I did. His opponent did get shots on goal, which he squandered. They could have kicked tons more goals today. Reiwoldt could have easily had 7 or 8. I just can't find a spot for Grant in the team, but definitely better in the backline. That being said, long term, He's too thin to be a back-man, easily pushed off the ball. If he were taller, it would be ok ( ala Fletch )

Would rather he be the sub, and Vezpremi can join the seagulls. I think he will do well in the VFL.
