Banksy’s competitive efforts are a real worry. Strikes me as though throughout his juniors he was just the receiver and was never asked to get his hands dirty. Play him in middle at VFL or as lock down back pocket so can learn how to earn a hardball or man up

most definitely.
when your flag window is closed, youngsters have to be given a decent crack at proving their worth
Read back even one page and there is plenty of praise for him late last season.
Has one game in 2024 and he is suddenly hopeless.
This place still amazes me at times

Youngsters need to have basic non negotiable core attributes in the first place. Massive selection error by Clarke.
Banks'y was disappointing yesterday but this kid is a footballer and will come good
He will make it i have no doubt

Hasnt shown anything others havent.
McAuliffe, Green,, Jud, Coulthard I'd prefer to see.
Tigers need effort players and contest players.
McAuliffe and Trezise are2 juniors who bring contested footy and effort.
We may see them both sooner rather than later.
How long do you persist though? Hasn’t really shown anything of note at AFL level in seven games. I know it’s a small sample but the player has to do their part too and show something, anything worth persevering with.
AFL games are precious especially when developing youth and at this stage I’d rather we invest those games in someone else besides Banks.
HRS may run faster, with his golden locks flowing the in the breeze.
but
Turnover merchant and, from my limited viewing, doesn't compete hard at all!
This ^^^ Would like to see him on a wing too. Tough, composed competitor.
not writing him off Sin,
but rather than the number of bad games, its more the nature of the bad game that I judge.
much like umpiring decisions, its so much the how many are paid, as where they are paid.
its what makes Seth Campbells moment so exciting - the nature of the moments.
we were down and out, all at sea, bereft,
when the kid had his moment.
ive watched Sam a few times at VFL level, and he's always struck me as a bit confused.
he can still overcome that,
but I reckon he should have by now.
we are gonna turn over at least 50 footballers between now and when we are competitive (Top 4) again I reckon.
I reckon im gonna be looking at 'em through a bit of a different lens
and I make sincere apologies for that
