Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

Listed on the RFC website at 100 kg's, what a beast. I'd love to see him ragdoll Cripps at some stage tonight.

I gotta good feeling that this kid is going to explode onto the scene.

Ive got a similar one about Higlet, but im gonna share a slice of yours as well, if you dont mind Oldy.

Cant have too many good feelings in my experience.

I'm hooked on a feeling, and high on believing :D

Coach is comparing him to rance,

I see more young Richo .
Funny you say that because when I first watched his highlights package he reminded me of a hybrid Rance/Richo
 
Really looking forward to seeing this kid play. A mate of mine was at St. Bernard's for a long time and heavily involved in the footy program. Reckon's Balta is the best player to come out of his time there. Yes better than Joe Daniher (and even McBean :rofl :rofl).

That's not to say he will be the best AFL player but good luck to the kid anyway.
 
He helped Nankervis get best on ground.
He looked nervous but did ok.
Needs to go back now and take Rance’s spot
 
Like Higgo last season, gotta keep Balta in (especially because of Rance) to gain quick experience.
 
Every time he went up in the ruck, he was often the first to follow up outside of the stoppage. Give him a good run st it. Could be anything.

This - stats didn’t show it but he competed well - should have had 2 goals if he hadn’t dropped that sitter.

Keep playing him and see if he can build on that.
 
Seems to second guess himself at times. Once he gets some confidence could be anything. Those kicks on the opposite side were freaky for such a big guy
 
looked lost and timid against the blues.
Not a good sign. Not even Mary Poppins would be timid against cartoon
 
Thought he contested quite well, and brought the ball to the ground. Was well and truly spent in the last quarter.

Yeah but he still had the composure to take an intercept mark the play on and hit Butler on 50 on the chest with his left foot. Of course Butler *smile* up the inside 50.

Keep playing Balta. Will keep improving with exposure.
