Thank Gawd there is one form student on PRE.Leading our B&F
He has been unbelievable in the 2 weeks
What absolute crap.It was a typical Balta-as-forward performance. Took a couple of grabs, didn't convert, and went missing for most of the game. Looked better when he ran up the ground as a marking link-man, but, meh. Negligible influence on proceedings.
I honestly believe that if you plonked Miller in the forward line instead of Balta you'd get pretty much the same return in terms of forward presence, without robbing the backline of a guy who, at his best, is imperious.
I was pissed off when he was moved back.
That was a loser move.
Trying to protect a loss rather than chase a win.
Balta was our best and most dangerous forward tonight. For a half. Then moved back he competed all the way to a loss.
Be brave Yze. Balta is a forward.
We shouldve had Sammy Taylor or Oscar Allen.Mr Everywhere.
Problem is we need two Baltas.
I get the need, but it's essentially giving up to obliterate your forward line to protect your backs.Lose Young and Gibcus, what do you do, played forward ruck and defence. our best player except for the grubbered short pass resulting in goal.

I get it, but it's a loser move.We couldn't afford not to have him back though tonight. Grimes had just been killed by Mackays height at the start of the 3rd, we simply had to move him back or Mackay would have kicked a bag in the 2nd half alone.
It was a shame as he looked brilliant in the forward line tonight. I really do hope I eat my words as I haven't been sure of him as a forward, prefer him back but he was an absolute superstar tonight both forward and back.
We shouldve had Sammy Taylor or Oscar Allen.
Problem solved
