AFL National Draft, Round 3, Pick No. 41

TODD BANFIELD - Medium midfielder
Date of birth: 28 June 1990
Height: 181.9cm
Weight: 74.8kg
Club: Swan Districts (WA)

Incredibly quick and aggressive medium-sized midfielder who uses his turn of pace to break games open (2.87sec for 20m). Has the ability to win ball at contested situations and displays neat skills by foot.

[worbsy]

Matches what we need, speed, wins hard ball and has good foot skills. I reckon Vossy has planned to use some of these quick medium midfielders we've picked up, up forward.

this is the type of guy vossy likes

Out of all the players at the Lions, who do you think would be the best arm-wrestler?
Dan from Ormeau (Queensland)

That’s a tough question. Browny, Braddy and Rog are probably all about the same. They all have their different strengths so it’s hard to separate them. Personally, I wouldn’t want to get thrown around by any of those guys.

As for the best arm-wrestler, that would hands down have to be Todd Banfield. He would probably win because he would put the other person off just with the look of his head


LOL dead set cracker :D:D:D

[worbsy]

Haha, that makes me think that Banfield has settled in well and the others get along with him.

Wouldn't mind seeing him on the field... supposed to be quick, yeah?

Good to hear from one of our unknown player. This thread needs more love!

Super quick and pushes forward to be a goal kicking Mid he will get games next year I thought maybe this year but TeeRock has better form and should be the next player to Debut fingers crossed it will be this week.:D

[Jedstheman]

Well yesterday I was lucky enough to catch the third quarter of the Lions Sharks game from last week this guy impressed me along with TeeRock and Spacka they had very good third quarters along with Magnet Hendo and TeeJay............Harding had one goal missed another two and Turned it over a few times his third quarter was average any way Banfeild will be a player just neds to bulk up alittle and we got a Hidden Gem here I think Stumps Redden Banfeild and TeeRock will all play aleast 100 games each bloody good drafting this year.

[worbsy]

This is sounding great, Jedda. If we've hit the target with most of our picks last year, we've got a bright future. So important to make the most of last years draft, and we have achieved at least a large part that just by getting Rich.

[worbsy]

I hope he gets some games next year... I guess he has to take over the role I wanted for King...

Could he be used as a crumber?

[b_lions16]

Apparently he has very good pace and could be a crumber, more like a speedy midfielder tho, can fit in the HF Role, too. ;)
Very easy to spot, BTW. :D

LOL, looks a dead ringer for the new logo (which I still hate btw. im never gonna wear that on a jumper)

[NapalmDth]

It's been a lazy 12 months for Todd.. if only he had the commitment to get into the gym & do some work, we could have a gun on our hands..

^ That first pic of this thread should be updated...this guy is packing it on like hell ^

[NapalmDth]

It's insane how much he's grown in 12 months. If he maintains his pace with that bulk on he's gonna be a dead set weapon. Watched him very closely in the ressies this year. Definitely see him being a hundred+ game player.

[worbsy]

I just like the beard. lol

[El Senor Chezzalenko]

Would any one like to have a guess who provided some of these pictures?! Hmmmm?!

You have 10 seconds before I remove them all.

[Jedstheman]

The Baron has bulked up alot................ there were big wraps on this guy when he came to us from W.A.He is in a very long line to get a midfeild spot ATM but he now has the body to play senior footy only seen him play a couple of games 1 in which he was a turnover machine and 1 where he was on fire time will tell should see between 1 and 5 senior games next year if he keeps improving and he has some luck.
