Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

[GVGjr]

This is the round 17 edition of the Weekly Bankers and Anchors Thread.

Please post your nominations for:

The Bankers = 3 players that we banked on to do the right thing during the game

The Anchors = 3 players 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: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

Probably a few players that could fit into both categories today.

Bankers

Libba - going to be great

Gia - so important to hang on to him

Griffen - Try's so hard


Anchors

Grant - needs to get some confidence and improve his goal kicking. In saying though it is good that he is playing now and not at Willi and that will only get his confidence at AFL level up.

He had 9 of 21 score involvements. 8 marks, 16 possies, tackles, inside 50's.

Geez. Maybe we should get Panos back if you label him an anchor...

Yeah those stats are a positive but the main reason I put him as anchor was based on his goal kicking as I stated. With all the other stats he wouldn't be an anchor.

Yeah did well but still missed goals, after all the forwards job is to kick them. His third shot was a howler.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

Bankers - the experienced players all led the way today

Anchors- The poise skill and linebreaking isn't there
Koby Stevens - gets a lot of it, but his decision making and execution was very poor
Tory Dickson - has to get more involved

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

Bankers

* Griffen - he is a machine

* Grant - really has put some spark into the forwrad line, just needs to be more accurate

* Gia - can't beat his experience and smart play

Anchors

* Goal Kicking - We had lots of set shots in the first half and missed 7 times

* Addison - Got to do a lot more than take three marks and have only 8 disposals. - Good VFL player

* Our finishing skills, once more cost us the game.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

B:
1. Cooney...making me eat my words at the moment
2. Gia....one more year
3. Libba....consist performance week after week

A:
1. Stevens..I like him but FFS stop putting team mates under pressure
2. Wallis...was better today but really needs to sort out his kicking
3. Injury to Goodes

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

Bankers.

Griff. Showing the kids how its done.
Cooney. That's more like it CoonDog!
Gia. 28 Touches, just continues to defy father time.

Anchors.

Stevens. No composure whatsoever, his kicks seemed to go straight to a Hawk and his handballs always seemed to be to a player under pressure.
Dickson. Barely any impact whatsoever. Surely has to make way for Stringer next week.
Grant, not for his game overall which I thought was very good but for his goalkicking. Missed some that a key forward needs to nail.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

Bankers:

Gia. He's in career best form.

Roughy. He was beaten to the first 3 contests by his cousin but I don't think he lost another for the rest of the game.

Dale Morris. He just repels attack after attack

No Anchors. We put an honest shift in.

You've confused me

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

Bankers: Griffalicious ( as Bruce should say, but won't )

Anchors: The coach for always banging on about how great the opposition players and teams are in press conferences. Seriously, respect to the opposition is healthy, but just once or maybe twice is enough thanks coach.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

Was Dale Morris more banker or more anchor. Definitely helps our young defenders.
