Sam Banks 2021 NAB AFL Draft prospect
27Sam Banks joins Talking Hawks ahead of the 2021 AFL Draft!
At the under-16 division two national carnival, Banks averaged 24 disposals, 20.7 kicks at 72 per cent efficiency, 8.3 marks and 7.3 score involvements across three matches.
The leading prospect from Clarence Football Club in the Apple Isle, Banks has had limited opportunities to show his wares in 2021 after a wrist injury this season, also missing the AFL Draft Combine.
Banks staked his claim as one of the top prospects in the pool at under-16 level after taking out MVP Award at the division two national carnival, showcasing his elite kicking and strong reading of the play as a rebounding defender.
He managed four games for Tasmania Devils in the NAB League this year, with the highlight being his 29 disposals, eight intercept possessions and 159 ranking points against the Eastern Ranges.
A good Tasmanian representation have nominated for the 2021 AFL Draft that Sam played with at the Tasmania Devils, including teammates Baker Smith, Dom White, Darcy Gordon and Noah Holmes.
Outside of the Tasmania players from the NAB League Boys, Sam mentions fellow Draft nominees Cooper Hamilton and Ben Hobbs are other players he connected with from the AFL Academy.
