Welcome Sam Banks

[thegdog]

Played with confidence today and used the ball well. Might get dropped if Shorty is back next week but this was easily his best of the 3 games he's played so would be a tad unlucky.

Cometh the man ?

 

[UKTiger]

On an upwards trajectory is Sam

 

[ToraToraTora]

Improving fast.

 

[tigersnake]

Really gave us something. I see a player for the first time.

 

[davidc0055]

Much more composed today, and put his body into some contests

 

[WesternTiger]

Was confident and backed his kicking. I like the kid.

 

[bringbakflemmo]

Liked his confidence to run past for handball receives.
Good foot skills too.

 

[Dont Argue]

Was thinking he was done and dusted up to half time but really lifted and got some good outside ball in the second half which showcased his kicking skills. Grew in confidence from there

 

[silvertiger]

He has footy smarts & is a great kick……will play 200 games.

 

[Punt n Brunton]

Has the game, but as with all kids, takes time for them to feel like they belong at AFL level. Look at Jack Ross. Great to see him grow so much in confidence even within a single game!

 

[Sintiger]

Looks like a footballer, moves like a footballer.
I’ve said it a lot over the last couple of weeks, he is a winger. The most natural winger we have had at the club for a while.
And he can kick !!!!

 

[Tigers2011]

I’d rather play Banks on a wing instead of McIntosh

 

[TigerForce]

Keep him in against Cracksbourne.

 

[Tenacious]

Much more composed today, and put his body into some contests

Footy is fickle
Against the Swans he panicked at times - gave away a goal or two - and might have felt like crap had we ended up losing
He’s now got a perfect win ratio and just looks so much more composed
Keep it going kid!

The kid played a pretty composed game.

In the last the heat was on.

 

[rensman]

Held breust quiet I reckon

 

[Ridley]

Keep him in against Cracksbourne.

Will be interesting to see how he goes against a good side. His 3 games have been against weak sides. He did okay today; jury well and truly still out for mine.

Yep. Best way to assess.

 

[Ghost of Punt Road]

When they were introducing the players today, at the beginning of the game at the 'G, my toddler misunderstood.

"What??? 31 Sand Bags???"

In my household he will forever more be called Sand bags.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Like this kid, just keep playing him , he’ll get beaten against the bigger bodies , however I’d rather play him , he’ll be part of our future and he has footy nous and great kicking skills
