        Probably in between but that's just me.

            Bankers

            Our effort - Can't fault it.

            Libba - Keeps getting the job done.

            Cooney - Another good one.

            Anchors

            Our execution - needs improvement

            Stevens - I have a new whipping boy.

            Wallis - only 3 kicks... Maybe that's a good thing?

              Agree, all I see is a hard at it battler.

                Whilst I agree his decision making is poor at 21 years if age and less than 40 games he deserves some slack. He has the ability to get the ball, he tackles and pressures the ball carrier, just needs to learn to be more effective once he has the ball

                  It was probably a Freudian slip on my behalf. I don't have a very high opinion of bankers!

                  They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    Already forgotten his game against the Saints Stache?

                      No but I don't judge a player based on one good game or one bad one. I just don't see a player who can replicate that type of performance regularly. If he's to become a solid AFL he needs to improve in a number of areas.

                        BANKERS
                        1. Cooney - best game for a while
                        2. Libba - clearance king.
                        3. Griffen - just hand him the captaincy now.

                        ANCHORS
                        1. Stevens - didn't have a great day
                        2. Set shots - Grant the main culprit, but others missed simple goals too.
                        3. Umpires - the Hawks get the 50/50 decisions and we didn't.
                        4. Kyle Cheney - that miss just makes our game look silly
                        They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

                          I agree but he does have scope to be more than just a battler.

                            You're a hard task master on those stats Eastdog. Hope you wouldn't prefer Ayce Cordy back in the forward line!

                              Was it just my TV, or did Cheney have a fair roof over the toolshed?

                                * 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.
                                Meanwhile, over at the Hawks fan forums, they're discussing delisting Cyril Rioli to play at Box Hill.
