AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
If into the 4th year non KPP players aren't either the best players in the VFL or into the AFL 22 then I'd say that's a concern.
MacIntosh was/is quick, big and reasonable tough and an endurance beast, Banks is none of those, but he does have a good boot, which obviously Mac doesn't. Mac has some good assets, Banks looks a bit one paced, I hope I'm wrong.
What rubbish LOL He was none of those things in 2016.
Yes he was LOL
Fair enough he was a good endurance kid. He wasnt a big beast though.
Hes still not a beast, but hes always been a good size and tough.
He doesn't have a footy brain and he can't kick for shit. Thats what Banks is.
What, never big, fast, aggressive and a good runner? He was BOG in his first game and torched Judd more than once.
You miss my point, McIntosh was drafted in 2012, in 2016 he was still not part of our senior side, injury may have impacted that, but it wasn't until 2017 that we got to see him frequently. Sam Banks was drafted in 2021 he is still a year away from a 2016 version of Kamdyn (age wise as both are different wingers), talk of never going to make it is extremely premature.
MacIntosh played 23 games in his first year 2015 (20 nearly 21 years old). Crap second year, form not injuries from memory, then 24 in the next.
Maybe, but thats not the topic you were so blatantly rubbishing.
We were playing a lot of inexperienced kids back in 2012 to give them experience. Dimma basically stopped that as soon as we got success. Even when we started the slide down after 2020, he picked teams very conservatively. Players like Banks, Sonsie Brown and Clarke got varying but on the whole, little exposure to AFL football. These top picks have suffered from lack of exposure. Yze is still feeling his way around the club. I feel he’ll play guys more often once he realises who is past it and who is not.
Saw macintosh on Thursday night looking very slow . Not sure he is quicker than Banks
So if response to if he's a middle tier VFL player next year, how long would you give him and when should we be concerned? What about every other player? Banks needs to show something worth persisting with, he hasn't really yet, hence if we're having this discussion next year it's probably a worry.

| Got only 1 game in 2020 where he was forgettable with 9 touches, while also missing an entire year of VFL basically due to COVID |
