Toast The Official Bailey Banfield Appreciation Thread

[Goondock saint]

Last person in the world you want delivering the ball to your forwards. Shockingly bad game yesterday and has been mud for weeks.

 

[Belnakor]

Because he is consistently shit

Tabs was terrible too

Tabs was an insult to terrible he was that bad.

 

[King Huskii]

[King Huskii]

Grounds to officially close this thread I think.

Nobody should appreciate the spud, don't care how nice a guy he is.

Any contract offer should be immediately withdrawn, absolutely disgraceful.
WTF was he thinking.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Bloody useless

 

[Dirty_banchez]

He was shit all game. I wanted him subbed today.

He just fumbles, makes bad decisions and has poor skills.

Delist.

 

[Deathly]

Ha! During his "good" games I would still call him selfish and said numerous times he (and a few others) will cost us important games. But yeah, lets keep celebrating the small things he does that every other player does week in week out without recognition, because that's how bad he is.

 

[Dayts]

One more game. Get another fs option and see ya later

 

[Hamann188]

This is sooooo good.

I mean the loss is painful but I thought I was the only one wanting him dropped.

Finally feel unalone.

 

[Lach72]

Delist on the plane home

Yeah, just great. Do you always celebrate when your team loses. Must be an absolute joy to be around.

LOL

Give it up mate, you can't possibly be trying to defend Banfield this time.

I weathered the storm when I called for Taberener to be dropped and that turned out to be the right call.

I'll weather this storm too.

Do you always celebrate and defend the team when they lose? That's a guaranteed recipe for success.

 

[Mk LXIII]

I wish Banfield well, in his next chosen career.

 

[MadMundy]

I never want to see him pull on a Fremantle jumper ever again, you can't pull off so many mistakes in one game, including one that cost us the game and our season, and expect to be given another go.

His contract should not be renewed at the end of the season.

 

[kp junior]

The obvious 50m aside, his refusal/inability to go right is costing us regularly and did again today.

I said pull the contract in the match thread but I take it back

He is very solid depth


The problem is we have noone else this year, we NEED Bolton to come in

Agree with getting Bolton in, but couldn't Emmett be the depth.

Erasmus and Brodie are better footballers

So is Aish

All three playing well for Peel again and can't get a game due to Banfield

 

[Moo]

Guys get off Banfield's case.

So he dropped a mark, OK marks ....and got caught with it oh and had the most clangers in the game and oh yeah gave away a 50 that ended the game.

Other than these - he was really serviceable

I'm using Banners as forward depth not midfield or defense depth

 

[Nodgey]

It wasn’t even the 50 that cost us the match. It was the fumble that cost us a shot at goals. The stupid HTB on the wing. The unnecessary handball that put Jackson under pressure. The gutless handpass that Freddie thankfully still put through. And then the 50. That was just the cherry on top.

 

[Footskill]

As perhaps one of Banners biggest supporters, I'm disappointed. Yes, disappointed about him giving away that unnecessary 50 at a crucial point in the game, but also he has now allowed his haters to come out of the woodwork with vitriol and direct all the blame of the loss and season on him.

His first half was good, not sure what happened in the second. However, I feel that htb on the wing, then fumble in the fwd line led to increase frustration and drop in confidence in game. He probably is mentally aware each and every mistake he makes is scrutinized 10 fold.

I still believe banners can be b22 for Freo. However, to do that, I don't think he should be playing fwd predominantly. Also, I think he is overthinking it a bit too much now, rather than the freedom of the earlier games where he was better.

Anyway, I'll continue to support banners even with the heat. I did so last year, when everyone was bagging him then. But although I would like him to remain at Freo as he does bleed purple, for his career it's perhaps better he gets a fresh start at another club, where the scrutiny is not as he gets here.
