Drew Banfield

Drew Anthony Banfield (born 27 February 1974) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Selected as the number 1 pick in the 1992 AFL Draft, Banfield was recruited to West Coast, where he became one of their best clubmen and hardest-working defenders and utility players.

He missed out on the semi-final against the Western Bulldogs but was recalled for the preliminary final against Adelaide, and retained for the Grand Final against Sydney due to his experience.

On Friday 6 October 2006, Banfield announced his retirement from AFL football at the West Coast Eagles Club Champion awards, having played 265 games.

Banfield is married to Amber Lee-Steere and has four children, three sons, Bailey (not to be confused with Bailey Banfield of the Fremantle Dockers), Charlie and Harper, and Willow.
