◉ WATCH

Banks returned from a collarbone injury to score 47 in a 114-point annihilation by Sydney — context matters enormously here as Richmond scored just 56 and were never in the contest. At 2 above his 45 BE, the score is impossible to evaluate meaningfully. Cash gen is ugly at -$5,857/week from the injury-enforced absence and price correction. The pre-injury form (77, 56, 65) was serviceable. Watch next week in a normal game — this round is a write-off.
