Welcome Sam Banks

[davidc0055]

Weak in the contest, unfortunately

 

[Ridley]

Ok backwards then

But that would suggest he went forward at some stage. I must’ve missed that.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Weak in the contest, unfortunately

Was weak in contest in round 1

 

[The_General]

5 disposals in 75 mins. 54 m gained.

Juddy Clarke, 4 disposals, 23mins. 171m gained, although turned it over twice.

 

[MalenyTiger]

Let him find some form in the VFL. He's got some good traits but is way off the pace of AFL footy. Not sure if he'll make it?

 

[spook]

Really poor pick by Clarke for mine.

We were rumoured to be into Soligo at the time. He'd be handy.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Unfortunately I don't think he's got the leg speed he needs.

 

[17]

Completely ineffectual.
Again.
A real worry.

 

[Tigers2011]

Useless. Not AFL standard. Delist at end of year if possible. Only to be played again in case of extreme injuries. Won’t ever be a functional, average AFL player - dreadful recruitment

 

[btoz_01]

Needs to back to VFL having no impact

but apart from that he's pretty good.

 

[WesternTiger]

We’re playing two down with Lefau and Banks today.

Three.

Poor man's Naish. That's saying a lot

Aren’t they all.!

 

[Aegean Tiger]

Playing Banks again is the first serious blemish for the Ooze.

Mediocre in the Magoos and has less than no impact in the 1s.

 

[Aegean Tiger]

Yes. Roberts, Soligo, Jones, Curtis, Howes all better options but 2021 was a very shallow draft.

To be fair to Yeezy, Sonz and Juddy were unavailable at the start of the year. I'm okay with him finding out for himself nice and early that the likes of Banks and Dow are not the answer. It also gives Banks a chance to go back to VFL, work on his deficiences and maybe show more in a second crack later in the year. He'll be relieved of his delusions.

I dont reckon he's got anything he needs?

seems almost a uniquely weaponless footballer to me?

doesn't do any single thing terribly, doesn't do any single thing great.

A footballing Taylor Swift? Thats what state leagues are for.

I like @tigersnake 's simple adage

'I want my bums tough'

Melee Mansell is his pin up boy, and the bare minimum you accept from a Tasmanian

I'm going to coin a new term for this next epoch; A mullock heap footballer; mullock heaper

Sam, Hugo, Cumbo, Dow, MRJ; mullock heapers

Brown, Campbell, Sons; Gold bearing (yes I've retrieved tom brown off the mullock heap. I grew up in Ballarat, where this is common practice)

McCaullife; motherload
