Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

Has Grimes been ruled out?
Not yet.

I reckon he's more in than out at this stage.

If he he comes through training today and tomorrow without a problem he'll play I reckon.

Nank will want him there so he can do the media stuff :))
 
If Carlton go big, Harry McKay, Charlie Curnow, TOm DeKoning, and Silvagni, I'd be shocked if Balta didn't go back at some stage.

We have Tarant, Gibcus, Broad, and Balta. No Grimes and Vlastuin force our hand. Unless we play Miller, Balta will go back.
We could play a Broad on Silvangi and as bad as Broad can be Silvangi still wouldn't get a touch.

Tarrant on McKay
Gibcus on DeKoning
Grimes on Curnow
 
I want to see Balta run on the ball a couple of times a quarter.
Go hard, take opponents out, and kick it long.
Who knows we might even go into a ball up with an equal chance.

Is looking more at home in the forward, was a real presence today.

He's such a hard matchup. When Davis went out, they didn't know who to send Taylor to, Lynch or Balta so rotated him. When he was on one, the other was dominating.

I know this is going to be a really BIG call but if he keeps tracking in an upwards direction I do believe that Balta has the potential to be RFC's version of Wayne Carey

Must be one of the strongest players in the AFL in the contest right now. Can leap over tall buildings, has a cannon-like hoof and a top speed to rival anyone - we've got ourselves a absoulte beauty here. Quickly becoming my favourite player.

Just reading through "isn't a forwards busted clacka" posts after a practice game. Lolz. Looks ready to tear a game to shreds soon.

He's proving me wrong, and this is the tastiest humble pie I've ever had. Stays forward, and I wouldn't mind seeing him around the ball more once Riewoldt comes back.
