Welcome Welcome to St Kilda - Charlie Banfield

That's like an overhead marking highlights package. He looks like he'd make a really nice defender. He times his marks and reads the drop of the ball really well. Nice vision as well. Sets up the play reading it before others have worked out what's going on.

He might end up a Brendan Goddard type if he grows a bit. Otherwise a James Sicily interceptor. Maybe Tom Stewart in there too.

From what the club has said you'd think he will only end up in defence if he fails as a winger.

I can see him and Boxhall being the Kennedy and Robertson of the hawks equivalent from the 80s.

Mate from WA who is a Dockers fan said Eagles fans are ropable they didn't pick up Charlie. Maybe we can draft his brother next year? I always loved his Dad as a player

Just watching him training this morning I can see where all the love comes from. Looks a ready made footballer. Took on Pou in marking contests and was far from disgraced. Similar size to Pou even at this stage.
