Welcome Sam Banks

Banks is the most confident 18yr old I’ve ever met. And in a humble not cocky way.
Had literally no preseason and only joined the main group 2 weeks before the start of the season. Only played half a game in round 1.
And I can tell you first hand Dimma loves the kid.
Has all the tools and the drive to be the best he can be.
He’s a 200 game player. Put that in your diaries

Done . Which other of our 2021 draftees should I diarise for 200 games?

I don't recall ever being so bullish about ALL of our draftees in a year. Usually, I'm bullish about 1 or 2, hope another 1 or 2 turn out and am pessimistic about the rest. This year, all of our draftees have obvious footy nous with some key weapons. Banks is the least of my expectations but DA has locked him away for 200 games so that's good enough for me!

I'm very disappointed he won't make it to 250 games.

I've got Clarke down for 300. Will play until he's 35.

So your saying we’ll be right where we are now in 15 years time? Carrying a bunch of multi-premiership winning players through one season too many. When will this club learn?!?!?

At least assure me Geelong still haven’t progressed past a prelim final in that time?
