Banfield managed just 36 in a 52-point Docklands demolition by Hawthorn — well below the 80 he served up last week and a reality check after the buy hype. The contested-ball style is there and he beat his 23 BE, but 36 from limited touches in a shellacking doesn't scream must-have. With Buttler, Higgins and Ryan all circling for selection, the job security question is louder than ever. Watch — the buy window has shut until he proves R11 wasn't a ceiling game.
