We had to give up the G for that game because kennet was having a wank fest at the G the day before and managed t ofuck the place up.

Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland
- Thread starter RICHO_12
- Start date
For some reason Leppa didn't cut is as a head coach when he had the chance and when he returned to the fold has shown what a great assistant he is in the way he has brought so many of our guy's on. I just wonder when some other club will finally realise Leppa's worth and give him another chance as head coach. Hopefully not any time soon
Yep and two of his goals at the end of the 3rd Balta was off the ground.
The length of Balta’s kick surprised them. They had 3 in the vicinity but none on the goal line. It was a beauty.
John Ralph said he spoke to Glen Jakovic today and said he coached Balta in the AFL academy and he kicked it better than Rance at his age and he sees the ball coming in and patterns of play ahead of anyone else and i tried to shift him when he was a 16 year old, he's harder to shift than a lamp post

Don't know need a Herald Sun subscriber to unlock this paywalled article for us:
TIGERS’ GRIMES STAND-IN TRACKING ‘BETTER THAN RANCE’
Richmond will turn to 22-gamer Noah Balta to anchor its backline in the absence of injured Dylan Grimes. But a champion centre half-back who coached Balta at junior level is blown away by his progress. Here’s why.
Be interested to know how Balta was in any sort of academy and how a WA person was in charge of said academy.
Wasn't it held at the Sports Academy in Canberra for some of the elite, including AFL, teenagers. They used to select a squad to go on a European tour or elsewhere and play various games here and OS - like against VFL teams for example.
Not sure when that all ceased.
If Balta kept his current form for the next 10 years he'd go down as a very very good RFC CHB. Mind boggling what lies ahead.
Rance’s one wood was his training ferocity.
A physical beast who would push himself and his teammates through gruelling sessions.
Anyone who aspires to his greatness may need the same determination. Or freakish athletic traits. Or both
Thanks Tigertim.
Great read.
Hard to not get excited reading things like that. Jakovich was a gun defender. Hard to move. Strong core. Use to love the battles with Carey.
