Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

I believe if someone has no prior, then as long as they don’t swing and miss with their foot, they’re allowed to drop it/accidentally let it get “knocked out in the tackle”.

A lot of players deliberately drop the ball if they have no prior.

Can’t hold on if they do

So we’re back to awarding the KB manoeuvre? Take possession, drop it and accentuate the tackle without the ball in possession? What a farce
 
I wouldn’t have a clue if it’s best for his development , however I hope we keep playing him , even if it means pinch hitting all over the ground rather then locking him down in one spot. I like the fact we have a utility type tall in the 22
 
Robbo described him a ‘headless chook’ last night on AF360.
Jack should bring Balta with him tonight. To see if he tough enough to say it to his face.

Blobbo just proving to all n sundry that he's an imbecile. Reckon maybe Balta musta been cackling the whole time of his intercept n bouncing run n dish off n that's why Blobbo had a dis at him.
 
It’s true though, Balta isn’t a smart runner yet, right?

No need to get worked by scripted entertainment :hihi especially when it’s probably due to Jack shooting

Balta is more like a new born foal learning to stand for the first time.

A good analogy, and like a good Thoroughbred he has got some serious pace, Winx and you'll miss him.

We need more than one in our overall squad. Chol and Moore spring to mind. Given Chol features on today's Coaches Corner, his turn may come soon.
My view is that Moore is pretty close to being an AFL level player now, he is good enough to come and play a good role for the team.
Unfortunately i don’t think Chol is an AFL level footballer.

I saw that one. Iyvan Maric was such a good get.
We are still winning from that one.

dusty got one of those free kicks in the GF but even then I disagree with the decisions going against the tackler. He has committed to the tackle and cannot stop mid tackle. And the guy just dropped the ball as soon as he felt the tackle.

How does Hartigan get a game? It should’ve been 50 too.

The only thing Moore is close too is the Exit Door ;D
 
Very raw, but Noah will hopefully be everything Griffiths so was supposed to be.

Tall athletic swingman with a HUGE shoe.

Yes raw talent but you can see the talent their - not afraid to use his pace and size and he seemed really important for our structure.

Tbh - much rather see him in the centre square ruck that Rielwoldt.
