Bankers & Anchors: Rnd 21, 2024 vs Melbourne

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

This is the Round 21, 2024 edition of the weekly Bankers and Anchors thread. Once tonight's game against Melbourne has concluded post your nominations for:

The Bankers = 3 guys/aspects of the game that we banked on to do the right thing during the game
The Anchors = 3 guys/aspects of the game that weighed us down by their errors or poor play

Please limit it to no more than three of each player or aspect of the game, but feel free to make honourable/dishonourable mentions. As usual try to make it constructive criticism.

Try and restrict it to individual players rather than aspects of the overall match - I will allow more freedom now as the thread seems to be going down more of the aspects of the game path so you can have 3 for each made up of aspects of the game and individual players.

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.

B

30+ scoring shots again
Bont
Beating these flogs


A

Not 100 point smashing them
Coffield was almost their best on
Marra 2.6 - could’ve been massive

[AshMac]

B

- team gameplan and play style
- the defensive system and high back flank ball carry of Dale and bramble
- # scoring opportunities
- Bont
- jamarras marking

A
- jamarras kicking
- team kicking for goal
- the east demons scored with when they did
- the ridiculous 50 to Gawn early in the game

[ledge]

Lobb in the backline just seems a natural.
Poulter, a clean neat reliable player who doesn’t stand out but had a beauty of a game today.
McNeill and that chase to shepherd the Poulter goal was an epitome of the team game we are playing and the reason he gets a game.

Jamarra a strange game , he was magnificent and disappointing at the same time.
Khamis just does tiny slip ups that magnify because he plays in the back line.
Coffield out JOD in next week.

Bankers

1. Bont - incredible player, probably the best Bulldog in the modern era

2. Bramble - he gets better and better every week

3. Adz - Is he our best ever trade in?

Anchors

1. Once more a 50m penalty that is pure bullshit. English trying to spoil a mark by Gawn - when is that a 50m penalty?

2. Personally, I thought the crowd was very disappointing, considering we are playing well, Friday night

3. Goal accuracy - pathetic
