Player Watch Welcome to Richmond Pick 29 - Sam Banks

[RJKTiger]

Professional and leading from the front are some of the key words to describe Sam Banks. Matthew Armstrong coach of the Tasmania Devils

Well that explains why we didn't bother with a KP Forward then - we wont need one

 

[RJKTiger]

don't know why but I'm getting a strong diamond in the rough feeling about this guy

Thanks for sharing

This might be my favourite post in BigFooty history

 

[Brick Loosener]

Yeah, that's a bit too much pressure.


I was more impressed by 238 off 50 overs in cricket as a kid apparently. Is that even possible, maybe they got the figures wrong

238 singles and 62 dot balls would do it.

 

[Grechy]

Kids 18 and sounds older then me as a 34 year old. Sounds like a ripper.

Huh, so Webberly stayed in football after getting the arse from us

Things are looking good for 22 GO tiges

"Hodgey Jr" from 2018. (Back row far left.)

His talent a seeming obviousness from those who know their footy.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Get him on the weights. Might be a longer term player

I'm going early and calling dibs on Banks. I reckon he's gonna tear it up in the Magoo's whilst putting on some size and I reckon by year 3/4 will be considered in the elite category.

Has the vibe of one of those players who in 5 years time people will scratch their heads and say how did he slide so far in the draft

Only worry for me is that a Tasmanian side will be entering the competition by then and he will be a flight risk

People only go back to Tassie to retire.

One of those situations that if it did happen although would be tough as a tigs fan would ultimately understand because it would be great for the game
As long as we got some compensation for him leaving us I wouldn’t begrudge someone for that type of move

I claim some form of ownership. He sounds like a genuine quality person and player. I have very high hopes that we'll have a genuine top end mid

Future captain material by all reports.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Future captain material by all reports.

Very impressive resume. I really suspect that he would have jumped up the ranks if he'd had a full normal year last year.

But then I have absolutely zero inside knowledge.

I was looking like getting drafted as a young fella before a similar injury wiped me out. I often think back to what could have been if only my parents hadn't uninstalled Net Nanny.

Fair chance you would've been drafted by Carlton.

Just as long as he doesn't have Bob's knee.

And gifted a medal.
