Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland
- Thread starter RICHO_12
- Start date
I wouldn't, playing Noah back has settled him down, Chol will have to come in and pull his finger out for 4 quarters and play forward/ruck.
Was Noah Balta's ball use in the first half tonight the equal of any ball use ever seen? At Richmond, Riewoldt, Edwards. Peak Cotchin. They have had moments and freak ball use is a modern thing. The young players are better.
Dusty must have had better uses? Of course. But the freak speed and vision of Balta. The touch. Wow.

Gee thanks, wasn't too long ago he was playing second ruck and doing really well. Everyone was asking if we could play him and dave in the same team, here is a way we can and not lose anything. Chop will need to cover lynch in the forward line.
Why would you take a bloke out of a position he has dominated for 3/4 of the season? It makes no sense. Look else where to fix the Lynch problem. Because in case you haven’t noticed it’s our rock solid defence that is keeping the second best team to 1 goal in 3 quarters.
Not the most stupid of ideas.DTLD to full forward?
Didn’t he kick 3 on debut???
He did, in a flogging at the hands of Melbourne.
Funny story, my brother and I had a few at that game, and a few more at the London afterwards. In walks young Jack Riewoldt, fresh off kicking something like 3.7. He was just starting to emerge, but was copping a bit of the media crap he's always had to put up with - body language, etc. I turn away from the bar and we're eye to eye (that's why I never bought he was 195cm, cos I'm 191).
"Jack!" I say, patting him on the chest (they love that). "Jack, maaaaate! Don't listen to all this media rubbish. We *smile*' love ya! But mate. Ya shoulda kicked seven today."
He kicks the ground sheepishly. "Yeah, I know."
A couple of weeks later he kicked 10 against West Coast and went on to win his first Coleman.
And I never got a thank you call.
I reckon he’d be just a bit dirty on Dylan taking that third-man up hanger. He had Hawkins beaten and was in position 1A for the intercept. It happened a couple of times that a 3rd man was superfluous. I’ve got a little suspicion that Notorious sweats on clunking an early 50-50 contest, for alpha reasons.
When I was at uni, I had a one night stand. There wasn't a lot of intimacy, just wham bam thank you mam. I felt a bit dirty the next day and still do a bit.
I cab only imagine that's how Noah feels right now after doing a number on Hawkins.

We really saw it first in the Smelbourne game which was much lower pressure. Took towering marks, then delivered rocket, low-flying 50m pass after pass that hit a superbly chosen spectrum of targets to launch attacks.
My argument last year was he is a natural attacker and a potential forward weapon. Rance's departure determined his fate for now.
But if Astbury recovers fine, and Jack reaches his use-by date .... would love to see him moved to CHF.
