Welcome Sam Banks

Yeah it's early days but he's pretty vanilla. Not sure the 2021 draft is going to be any sort of solution to long term list issues. Unless Gibcus becomes a gun.

We desperately need a new key forward.

Must be watching a different game . Reckon he’s stuck to his man well and been courageous a few times.
Jeez I watched the last 3 quarters and wasn't aware he was playing. Underwhelming.

2nd game in granted, looks and plays terrified. Hopefully with experience and bigger body will come more confidence and composure.
 
Wont do him any harm to go back to the VFL, get a few easy kills , would have been great education the last 2 weeks , probably a couple of others in better form to come in

Early days but geez he was disappointing.

Joins a growing list of recent draftees that are just not making the grade.

So you’re saying…wait for it…wait for it….Reserve Banks ?

(That’s gold. You can’t buy that sort of quality.)
Haha.

He certainly needs to lift his interest rates. And his work rates.

Mansell should replace Banks next week. With our season still alive we need as much experience as possible. Banks is too raw ATM but should be better for the the 2 game experience.

Nah - he didn’t do anything flashy but there were a few times he was the last one getting up from being on the bottom of the pack.

He is going to be a solid player once he finds his feet - needs a bit more weight and a bit of time in the seniors.

Not every player is going to clock up 20 plus possies in their second game.

Yep, I thought he had a few really good moments. One was in the 2nd quarter when he found himself one out with... I think it was Darling or might have been Allen, anyhow, even though he was undersized he halved the contest very well.

Is getting a taste while Shorty is out, don't mind if he gets another game.

He’s had a taste but now back to the VFL.

I'd give him one more week.

Ideally he would play on the wing. That's his spot. Anyway, didn't think he was horrid, just trying to learn the pace of the game
