Pick 17 - Sam Banks
Pick 17. Brisbane Lions.
Sam Banks
Tasmania. 186cm. 72kg.
Like Josh Rachele, Banks was another standout at the 2019 U16 National Championships, captaining the Tasmanian Devils, winning the Division 2 MVP, and named in the U16 All Australian team
Also like Josh Rachele, Sam Banks possess the ability to play multiple positions, either as a classy half back, who is able to move in to the midfield and win his own ball.
Banks is a good user of the ball out of defence, taking the kick ins, winning the ball in contested situations or taking intercept marks. He is calm under pressure, able to find team mates with precision passes by foot, or able to break lines with his speed. He's also a natural leader and Captain of Tasmania in the NAB League, leading his team from the front with his drive and determination.
