Player Watch #45: Zac 'Banga' Banch - set to debut vs Sydney

[travelli]

6 month contract
See how he goes but at least we can cull easily if needed

That's the spirit!

 

[The Nostradamus]

That's the spirit!

He’ll be competing with cooper Harvey for a 2026 list spot I reckon

Let’s see how they go

I reckon he is at least an upgrade on Payne and RHJ

I still think we could’ve got May and banch

Since sellwood got to dogs pick

 

[BlueanWhiteKanga]

Is Banch gonna cop the Pinky treatment cause we didn't get May?

 

[Dan]

Whats better than having 1 Konstanty……having 2!

Yay.

Welcome aboard Zac.

 

[berniemccarthy]

Means the club likely has drawn a line through Cooper Harvey beyond this year. Signs aren't good for River Stevens long term either.

Konstanty and RHJ contracted for 2026.

Banch can play.

Cooper is too slow sadly for that role. He is a good mark but that is not the requirement for that role these days. Likely Barlow had some input/intel.

Hey Dinkers

We've got our own Wee Wizard.

Be prepared to be unsurprised wth Nostras posts for the next 6 months

 

[Themanbun]

Probably walks in as our second best small forward after Curtis.

 

[dus]

We wanted small forwards and now we’re getting them.

Hope he goes well.

Can put a line through Harvey and Stevo it seems.

 

[hilly]

Never heard of him but hope he comes good.

Just make this your signature instead of posting it in every thread

Bit harsh on Larkey.

Bit harsh on Larkey.

He's just ahead of a wet lettuce leaf in fourth

oh boy, was he delivered by a stalk.

 

[Possession]

Banch = The Sorcerer

Already ahead of Phillips

 

[Shinboner1]

Been complaining about North taking Duursma over Watson, now we got both!
Welcome Zac, do us proud

 

[see see]

Never heard of him but hope he comes good.

Ditto.

Although he's got a good old fashioned footy head on him. Looks like he's married with four kids, smokes a pack and a half of Winnie Reds each day and knocks off half a dozen VB long necks every night.

He's also now officially the best Zac on our list.

 

[Chadwiko]

Probably walks in as our second best small forward after Curtis.

Curtis is a medium forward.

But I take your meaning.

 

[shinboner magic]

He’s tiny

Please put him in hi-vis so Goad doesn’t step on him

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Reached out to a mate who is involved at Werribee, reckons Zac will make the step up with ease. He said don’t get too bogged down in his goal stats this year as his been playing as a really high half forward. Young & Dalhaus playing closer to goal for the bees because they don’t quite have Banch’s tank.

Outside of his speed and balanced ground level play he said his best AFL attributes is his work rate (13.5+km per game), quick decision making and his team first attitude.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

My prediction is that if we pick anyone but May The Nostradamus will instantly dislike them and spam every thread that they should be delisted.
