Player Watch Welcome to Richmond Pick 29 - Sam Banks

[Vikingnz]

We've had success with both Tasmanians and natural born leaders so I'll back this pick in 100%.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Jeepers creepers he sounds like Luke Hodge in that WIN news interview. Looks a dedicated committed young man. Stoked to have him onboard

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

JEezzz talk about channelling Luke Hodge...very interesting...

Yeah, that's a bit too much pressure.


I was more impressed by 238 off 50 overs in cricket as a kid apparently. Is that even possible, maybe they got the figures wrong

Luke Hodge played cricket?!?

Banks was a state cricketer for Tassie when younger apparently before tailing back to focus on footy

Spin or fast bowler?!?

 

[Mr Magic]

Spin or fast bowler?!?

Dunno, at least a batsman apparently.

There is a 20 minute interview on the web with a Hawthorn angle floating around I sourced

 

[Dr Tigris]

The raps on him are very impressive. Very fast, great kick, good reader of the play and a fantastic leader. Without injury could well have been 1st round.

We are definitely looking for the highest upside this year.

Kid has beautiful co-ordination...knows when to take an oppo on and goes for it...backs hisself in for the contest confidently...looks at home on the field!
Just great judgement...and a great finishing kick...whether his body can stand up to the rigors of a more physical game in footy than cricket remains to be seen

I like prospects that can play other sports like cricket because its a good support for hand eye and other skills that help competitiveness

Just watched the interview - I thought the Hodge comparisons were more to do with things like presence etc, didn't expect him to look and sound exactly like him lol.

In a way, it's virtually full circle as Hodge was a Tigers fan before being drafted.

Cant believe Banksy fell this far

Luke Hodge played cricket?!?

I seem to remember a story about a young 20-21 year old Hodge going home to Colac in the off-season and belting a ton for his local club. Hawks we’re not impressed.
