Draft Report: An awkward landing in a marking contest against Eastern Rangers in Round 4 of the NAB League resulted in a broken wrist for Banks in major blow to his top-age season. He consequently missed the AFL Academy game against Geelong's VFL team in April and a bit of the season with the Devils, but the injury won't hurt his draft chances come the end of the year. A rebounding defender, Banks had caught the eye of recruiters in his first two games of the season.
