Banks was initially drafted in 1995 but soon lost his place on the senior list, before returning to the list after a strong season in the reserves.[2]

He has the distinction of playing in two Anzac Day clashes, despite playing only three senior games for Essendon.[3] He made his league debut in the 1997 Anzac Day fixture and played on Collingwood full-forward Saverio Rocca. Two weeks later he was again the Essendon full-back, chosen to play on Adelaide star Tony Modra. His first and final league games was another Anzac Day match in 1998 when he injured his shoulder.[4]
