Bar injury surely Sam Walsh has it in the bag.

Tend to agree. Appears to be the next cotchin to me and if not much separates a few, theylle give it to the number 1 pick every time
 
Balta will step up this year the same way that Higgins did in 2018

Reminds me very much of Richo and Rance when they were at the same stage of development
 
BALMY said back in december ,balta is 6 foot 5, which is 198cms, just bloody wish tiges would update players height weight and not leave it as stats they got from TAC DAYS.

Balta is not 198cm
 
Hard to imagine that Balta has not grown since his draft
He was listed as 194cm 92kgs back in mid august 2017 nearly 3 months prior to his 18th Birthday

Looking at him next to other Richmond players like Nank (199cm) , Rance (194cm)& Jack (193cm)
He looks to be around 196/197 atm , He looks like he is 2-3 cm shorter than Nank and 3-4cm taller than Jack & Rance

Its bloody march and still no updates from the RFC page - Pathetic
 
Not sure wether it was wishful thinking, however I got the feel that Leppa was saying Balta will play this week and that’s how they’ll go with in round 1

It would be grossly incompetant not to play him rd1.

Even though hes the rich mans Todd Elton, 2 years too late.

I don’t think the heights are ever accurate
Probably weights are wrong too
 
Kid better not have a quiet one, Tiger forums will go into melt down after being whipped into a frenzy last week ;D

6’ 5” is 195.5 cm not 198
 
So excited by Bolts, i reckon the the 2nd ruck will be right up his alley. It will allow him to get involved in the game and showcase his long kicking, pace and marking.
 
One thing Balta didn't really display last week is his long kicking.

He kicked a couple 60m bomb goals in the VFL last year.
 
Just going to throw this out there. Could Balta line-up on Cripps and be used in a run with role?

195.5/100.5

Is a 19 yo bigger than richo, with pace and mitts in the ballpark.

*smile* im looking forward to watching this kid captain 'Notorius' in AFLX a couple of years
