Bankers and Anchors- Round 20

Re: Bankers and Anchors- Round 20

I scored Medallion Club tickets for Saturday afternoon through work, hosted a few Carlton supporters so it was an excellent afternoon.

Anyway, I saw that irrelevant old fart and I considered giving him a bit of lip about how much of an arse he is. But as he came closer the realisation that he's pathetic, friendless and most likely senile dawned on me so I didn't bother.

His office is near a bar in the city we often drink at after work on a Friday and we see him regularly. The thing that really stood out to me is how small and insignificant he is. He's barely taller than my belt buckle and screams little man trying to overcompensate.

Bankers:
1. Griffen: Quality once again, hopefully with us winning some game he might come closer to a brownlow this year.
2. Cooney: His zip is back again. Should of signed him up a month ago, his price might go up now.
3. Great team effort and we are playing some good patches of footy now. Some lovely handball links and players backing themselves to go through the middle more.
4. Our cheersquad!, where have they been all year. It looked to be 5x the size for an away game, yet on home games there seems to be about 10 of them.

Anchors:
1. Jones: Looks lost. I watched him closely again and his forward craft is non existent. He looks like a defender that has been asked to go forward for the first time.
He has no idea how to use his strength, his arms or his body to give him some space from his opponent. Just runs straight at the ball with an opponent on his heels ready to spoil him.
Life would be so much easier for him if he could work out how to give a little shove before his lead. Frankly i'm amazed the coaching staff haven't worked on this because he has no idea.

2. Addison: Once again inaccurate and in-effective. Took a nice mark and one nice bump but apart from that he's a spud.

3. Carlton supporters: Always been my number 1 most hated opposition club supporters and they didn't let me down. There must be a giant moron magnet hovering above visy park because they are complete nuffies.

Not wanting to be too precious but I really hate this term being applied to our players, particularly someone who gives as much as Addison. Bit of respect please. He's not the most talented player on our list but he has attributes he uses to good effect. Anyone who has played as many games as he has does not deserve to be labelled a spud.

I didn't think spud was that harsh a term.
perhaps i should just replace it with 'not very good'

Re: Bankers and Anchors- Round 20

Apart from Saturday I've found Addison's set shots at goal to be quite good this season.

I reserve it for my most detested players in opposition teams

Hey Jeemak I was in the medallion club as well. Nice spot to watch the game. I was pissed off the BBQ had been replaced widths crappy pizza on the outside terrace.

It is a really good spot to watch from.

We had lunch at the Woolshed prior to the game. I've eaten at a couple of the Medallion Club restaurants previously and found them to be over priced (which is strange for Docklands, I know). Did they used to BBQ on the terrace outside the main bar?

Yes out side the main bar.
