Sam Banks had 25 possessions (excluding kick ins), had 5 score involvements, 1 goal assist with 89%de and gained 660 metres. Where his game was weak is in the defensive stuff, 1 tackle, 7 pressure acts and only 3 contested.
Overall, given his role off half back I would say they are very solid numbers and both coaches gave him votes so that has some sway for me

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”

WC convert their chances in the third they win by at least 3-4 goals and it would've been in no small part due to some awful decisions & disposal from Banks so dunno how that translates into a near perfect game, especially given even his own coach pointed it out after the match.  :shh

I liked that he improved, I value improvement and hope more than wins this year . He  showed enough to suggest he could make it or give us a return if he chooses to go home to Tassie
Glad we didn’t lose by the way!

Kelli Underwood is painful

The worst play by play commentator going around

Makes Dwayne Russell and BT seem like hall of famers

Totally agree. The worst commentator going around presently. Her comments lack any insightfulness

Remember when she burst onto the scene over a decade ago. Think she was with channel 10 or 7 and they put her on the big games for a while.

She's stuffing atrocious. Struggles with the English language and player names. Does know club colours though. Orange team

We completely dominated the last quarter but could not convert that dominance into scores. We were too focused on Lynch and as a result it was easier for the west coast players to defend. The delivery into the forwardline was not flash eg Banks kicking over Lynch's head and we missed some really gettable goals
 We need to mix up the targets and become less predictable.

Will never forget in 2017 before the gws game at the MCG during the season she proceeded to say on radio that gws were our bogey team and that they had beaten us at the MCG previously

She was on Ch10, they trumpeted her being the 1st female play by play caller and how good she was and that's why she got the gig. She was terrible then and nothing has changed,

What is sad is that she's probably put female callers back a decade. There's a woman who calls AFLW on Ch7 and she's brilliant but I don't reckon there's any chance she will get a look in to call AFL games. And I reckon Underwood is the reason

There’s some very good female hosts and commentators but they chose Kellie  ::)
