I think the stats flatter him.

They always do in that position but I’d rather him than Shorty.
I sometimes think the poster confuses the position and role the player has vs the player themself. He’s not quite damaging enough but he will do replacing Shorty for the time being

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

Banks pays out

Sam Banks produced the best performance of his 29-game career in Richmond’s third win of the season over West Coast.

The Tasmanian played a pivotal role with a career-high 28 disposals in an outing that included six marks, five inside 50s and five rebound 50s.

Banks had 25 effective disposals, 19 kicks at 89 per cent efficiency and 660 metres gained which is also a career high.

He was rewarded with nine coaches votes, so it’s clear that Adem Yze and Andrew McQualter didn’t miss his display.

The 22-year-old can still work on his physicality but his outside run and distribution was at its very best on Sunday at the MCG.

4 marks
2 tackles
5 inside 50s
589m gained

I watched him more closely this week and was impressed.

He's playing shorts role and doing a better job of it

Happy with him.

Do people from Tassie even want to go back once they’ve left? Lol

Why would we want to get rid of good experienced players? I don’t want 5 top 20 picks in 2028

More to the point, who’d wanna go through two consecutive rebuilds?

Banks won't want to go.

Campbell neither.

Keep looking, I agree with Andyyyy he’s getting better every week. Unlike Shorty who he has gone past, we have not seen his ceiling
