Sam Banks is a tireless runner with a booming kick, a combination that would earn him a best 22 spot in most senior AFL teams even now despite his relative inexperience. His role has shifted from a wing to a half back flank in recent weeks, but with Jayden Short returning from injury he is likely to start further up the ground again. He has all the tools to be a damaging 200-game player in the manner of Short himself; the question remains whether his starting position will be in the back half or tending more towards attack.
