Sam Banks’ first year in the VFL has been very handy.

The kid had an interrupted pre season, was drafted from interstate and has been very consistent and has shown some serious talent.

I think this kid is going to be a special footballer, and I’ll go very early on this but I think he will captain the Richmond football club one day. He’s all class. Handles himself with what you’d hope a future leader would.

Some reports pre draft were that he needed to improve his defensive game…but from what I’ve seen this year he is not afraid of the physical stuff. Laid a couple of ripping tackles yesterday.

The biggest concern for me is that when this kid is blooming I think the Tassie AFL team will be coming into the league and this kid will be arguably the best Tassie prospect going around.

He will be the 1st Tassie captain and Richmond will get 2x1st round picks as compo in 2028

Arguably lowest footy iq of all of our draftees but bloody hell his actual ball skills are probably the best in the club
Such a great user of the footy

In what position?

This kid can play anywhere bar ruck and KPF/ KPB. He'll be like Ralphsmith plugging gaps getting thrown around wings, HF, HB, forward/ back pocket and wouldn't be surprised if potentially ends up a mid. Don't think he'll be one of those players who racks up 35+ and doesn't matter cos his skills are great, good hands overhead, kicked some phenomenal goals from minimal opportunities, decision making elite and like Sonsie seems so composed to take that extra second to wait for the right option. Reminds me of Leon Cameron back in the day. The Tige's are gonna have to start finding spots for players like him, Clarke and Stack cos they're far too good for magoo's.

So sorry to intrude, but I'm a bit of a Banks fan after watching some of his VFL work and keep my eye on this thread for progress.

Thought it was worth the share for anyone that didn't see it: Which player will jump out of the ground at your club in 2023?

To save you the click:
Sam Banks (Richmond)

“I’ve been hearing about him in the off-season and over the last few months.

“He’s a Richmond player who hasn’t had a lot of opportunities given that he’s only young and just come into the system.

“Sam Banks. They tell me that he’s going to be an absolute star.

“Might not be in 2023, but he will be one of the best players at Richmond in the next decade. That’s what they tell me.”

Adam Cooney's take so maybe a grain of salt but I'm hoping he's right.

I was 🍆

Then Adam Cooney :straining:

Why crush my hopes like that??



But I am a huge Banks fan. I reckon he could be a star. If we get lucky we get an inside outside mid with massive leadership and great skills.
 
If he doesn't make it he can always fall back to his artwork

I know, I was the same, but because it's only him saying what he's heard and not assessing himself I'm hoping the person he spoke to is a more reliable judge.

Hearing huge wraps about this kid.

Do not be surprised to see this kid work his way into a round 1 debut…
