Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

[westdog54]

This is the round 20 edition of the Weekly Bankers and Anchors Thread. Once the game against Richmond 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.

The thread is named in honour of a popular WOOF Contributor, The Banker, who passed away on 22/04/2012 after a six month battle with cancer.

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

Bankers

First 14 minutes of the third term - we showed some potential

Talia, JJ, Roberts, Jong, - 6 games in total between them, but look the goods


Anchors

Murphy and Boyd - We were 7 points down but between these two managed to turn over the ball in succession with shocking kicking, and concede 4 quick goals -away Richmond went.

DJ - tries hard but hasn't got it

Hooper - Too slow, needs to lose weight

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

Bankers- A couple of the kids
JJ Great dash
Talia ( needs to improve his kicking)
Jong ( good debut)
Roberts ( good debut)

Anchors- the decision making of experienced players like Murphy and Boyd!
Playing Lake forward - No point in a development season to play a 30 y/o forward.
Dennis Cometti - yeah we know Cotchin's a great young player, after hearing about it 30 times gets a bit stale.

Reality is he was streets ahead of everyone else on the ground. Quality player.

Bankers:
They hung in there longer than I thought. That was a seriously undermanned team we had out there today.
Another strong game from big Will against an in form ruckman.
Wallis looking good.
Boyd and Murphy.....sure they made some blues but they never stopped trying to create.

Anchors:
Sherman gave us nothing....again
Hooper....why?
Shaggy....the end has come quite quickly for him.....although I liked seeing him drop Jackson to his knees

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

Bankers -

JJ - he is exactly what we need. Should set himself for best 22 next year
Wallis is a ball magnet and his kicking has improved, excellent today
Smith's attack on the football

Anchors -
Shaggy - one of my favourites, but he is sadly done
Skinner - just doesn't have the hands for AFL
Campbell as a forward. Minson is a no 1 ruck, so is Campbell. We can only play 1 at a time.

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

Bankers
All of the newer players. Clay Smith, Brian Lake

Anchors
Sherman, Hooper, Skinner

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

Thought it was the old Minson today. Clumsy, slow and ineffective. Looked a little disinterested but he was not on his own.

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

One player that's gone under the radar a bit, with all the youngster getting the attention, is Dickson. He's been one of our best and most consistent over this bad period. A really good find by the recruiters.

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

JJ destroyed Nahas.

Keeper.
Fletcher also a keeper.

[Missing Dog]

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

Dickson has been Outstanding this year will really blossom in the next couple of years.
Fletcher Roberts will be a player even in the quarter and a bit he played really showed something.

Two good points re Dickson and Fletcher Roberts. Roberts looked more assured than Talia who was ordinary today

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

B

Wallis - improving all the time.
To fit in with the "3 players" only criteria, I'll say " JJ TaliaJongRoberts" These guys look like they'll be worth watching.

A

Murph - Love your work, but you're a mile off your game at the moment.
DJ - I like the guy, he gives it his all, if only "Fumbles" was a legitimate stat.
Zephy- again, I like him, but not sure he's going to be around long term

I would nominate Hooper for similar reasons, but it's not his fault he was selected

20 game rule? Or in this case, 20 minute rule!

[Maddog37]

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

I might be a bit slow but what is the 20 game rule?

[stefoid]

Re: Round 20 Bankers & Anchors

20 game rule is any player that shows something and has played less than 20 games is a future star and cannot be criticised.

Be that as it may, I reckon he showed enough to identify as a future player - composure and intensity mainly.
