Jordan Bannister

[Hawk Dork]

Did anyone hear the 5th quarter or the ABC today?
Jordans dad was on saying he had talked to Swan and was good friends with him and knew Eddy and Jordan was going to the Pies next year.
Collingwood denies it.

lol always collingwood!!

they can have him no probs

 

[Fevalenko25]

Bannister= ******** player

 

[BlueBoy83]

they can have norman, sporn, bowyer, clarke, johnson, morell, deluca too

 

[BlueBoy83]

oh and we'll even trade u prenda, longmuir and maybe scotland too!!!!

Not Morrell and Deluca, they have roles to play at Carlton.

Maybe they should play him as a tall defender in the VFL the rest of the reason. He's quick, got a good leap and can take a mark and is 190cms tall after all...so he might be suited to picking up a second tall. Tell him to bulk up over summer and give him a shot at holding down that position. I don't think he could be much more than a stopper but his Dad may be partly right when he says he might be better used for his height, speed and marking ability. He'd have to bulk up a bit. Got nothing to loose...if he does try and play a different role he'll stay in the twos the rest of the season and probably a good chunk of next season ...if he survives at all. Not sure why Collingwood would want him...maybe as a tagger.

I think av76 makes an interesting point. Bannister could be an option across the backline. Probably as a 3rd tall but maybe even as a CHB.

He does in my opinion have the ability to be a very regular and solid player. He even has a little flair. Not in Kouta or even Houlihans level but has some flair just the same.

His problem is very similar to many of our players - his mental strength. He just loses faith in himself and then becomes a victim to everything that happens on and off the field.

If Denis or someone at the club can reach him then he will be worth keeping. This is however a very big if.

 

[stokesy]

Bannister is horrible IMO.

However, he can take a grab, he did last year and kicked a couple of goals from contested marks.

He won't last though. Needs to be delisted. He is not even worth worrying about. Morrell, Deluca and those guys are worth worrying about as they are good enough to do something.

 

[av76]

Morrell could last I think...been playing out of position this year so far. I get the impression that his problem is confidence...he puts in a very good game every five or six games when peoples' expecatations are low (e.g 3-4 goals and 10 marks or so)...suggesting he has talent but something is going on up stairs...this potential is obviously why Pagan got him across. Hopefully as he gets a little older and more confident he might conquer his inner demons so to speak. He's also bulking up a bit lately, I don't think he naturally that strong but guys normally bulk up much easier when they hit his age...he could be a late bloomer...personally I would hold on to him.

Bannister hasn't done jack for Carlton yet, and he deserves to ******** off where he can be in the top 22, at Collingwood

 

[blue_bhoy]

ABC confirmed that the call was a hoax and the person who made the call was not Bannister's father.

Oh let me guess.... Zeke

 

[blue_bhoy]

Uh No, White Line Fever said THE ABC CONFIRMED it was a hoax.

trade him for t.cloke

 

[gandaal]

Does anyone else remember the guy who started a topic three or four weeks back about Jordan? He argued that he must be picked for the next game, that he and his family were very upset and he was considering leaving Carlton as a result. Sound familiar? I think it was the same guy. I wonder why he's so obsessed with Bannister.

 

[Hawk Dork]

Sorry to ruin the conspiracy theory,
a quick look through my post history will do that for you.
I am not stalking I was watching 5th Quarter and couldnt believe what i heard.
Thought someone here was interested.

 

[Jeremias]

gandaal, that was me who started that thread

i can assure you that i didnt ring up...i have way better things to do with my time.

 

[Jeremias]

and by the way i can tell you that im not obsessed with bannister at all. in fact, i think he is quite an ordinary player. if someone is willing to give up any sort of draft pick for him i would happily take it...just means getting another kid!
