Jordan Bannister

[Bronx Bomber]

Has turned into a pretty solid footballer. He can do a good run with job yet he has the smarts to find his own kicks.

Just wanting to know what people think of him and where he fits into our side?

i think he has been another good pick up. Doesn't star but consistently does his job. I must admit he is a player that i don't notice much when i'm at the matches, but when i watch on the teley i notice all the good things he does.

Really really impressed with Bannister.

Looked good at the start of last year then really fell away and I had written him off. He cam back at the end of the season and showed some excellent form as a stopper, and as you said can create some play himself. Definitely in our best 22.

Seems to have a lot of good atributes. Height, speed, decent disposal, good defensive game. He's still a young player too. If he keeps at it he could be one of our best midfielders.

Great pick up by Dennis, he has taken the secondary stopping role, can even play back, good overhead, excellant tempermant. He is suprisingly quick can develop this year, akin to a Waite, Penda or a Fisha like they did last year.

I was worried last night when Johno got the better of him but he kept at it and didn't give too many soft frees away like players do when they are getting beat.

I think that he might get a run with role on either Cousins, kerr or fletcher this week. I would like to see Chambers (Frank Spencer) have first go on Judd that should give him some motovation ( not that these boys need any).

Very much more of an athlete than a footballer though, great speed/endurance and incredible strength. Still needs to work on his foot disposal and personally i would like to see him push forward more because in a one on one marking contest trust me very few will beat him such is his strength.

Jordan should be in our 22 for 95% of the year.

Johno out pointed him quite easily in the goal square though. Still a tough contest but he should've tried to punch the ball through the goals.

Still only 22 y.o and can still improve. Is a tremendous trainer and does his all to improve himself

 

[Kooley]

His old man was a top boxer so i think Jordan can go 'a bit' as well. I would like to see him freed up a little more. his pace is handy and he shows dash. I think on Sarurday night he got caught for running too far without bouncing the ball. It was pretty exciting stuff if he hadn't given a free kick away.

I like the looks of Jordan ..i was an instant fan of his when he took Buckley to the cleaners last year . notice how many similar type running players Pagan has brought into the team ..makes for great footy to watch
