Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

[RICHO_12]

Will likely get a spell in the VFL after tonight.

Reckon Chol or Moore should get a crack as 2nd Ruck / Swingman

 

[ToraToraTora]

Yeah he's a bit lost atm. Won't hurt.

 

[MD Jazz]

Don’t drop him. He’s a bloody disruptor. He gets a hand in smashes a body and stuffs it up for the opposition. I love this guy.

 

[Willo]

Another learning curve

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Yeah, he was a little bit over the shop tonight but wouldn't drop him. Must get some games into so he maintains a belief that he belongs. Is part of the Tigers' future.

 

[zippadeee]

He was jumping into Melbourne player’s all night.
Most of them were illegal
He played *smile* tonight

 

[Ridley]

Just keep playing him. He will be a player. There’s no one in the VFL who can take his place anyway.

 

[jb03]

I'd leave him as he gives Nank a rest. He did ok on Gawn tonight, especially late in the game.


He will need to improve his overhead marking though i reckon and start clunking a few.

Just keep playing him. He will be a player. There’s no one in the VFL who can take his place anyway.

Agree.

 

[TigerPort]

With Riewoldt likely to miss more than a few weeks Balta stays in.

 

[TigerFlag2017]

Carrying him, but need to invest in young talls.

 

[Tigers2011]

Just keep playing him. He will be a player. There’s no one in the VFL who can take his place anyway.

Yep - 100% right. Has all the attributes to be a star too. Laughable to think about Chol as an alternative.

 

[WesternTiger]

Just keep playing him. He will be a player. There’s no one in the VFL who can take his place anyway.

Yep. Only played 61% game time. Keep playing him.

 

[MB78]

With Riewoldt likely to miss more than a few weeks Balta stays in.

Yeah exactly.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Needs to stop giving away unnecessary free kicks.

 

[Ridley]

With Riewoldt likely to miss more than a few weeks Balta stays in.

What’s up with Jack?

 

[Mopsy]

Not to be dropped

Playing a valuable role, and whilst the sexy stats aren't there right now, they will come in good time.

 

[year of the tiger]

Like his game - looks dangerous at times but for him - each game he gets is like gold.

With Jack injured, reckon he should get a run at it at least to the bye.

 

[tigerman]

He's very exuberant, just like a bull at a gate chomping at the bit to get amongst some young heifers.

Keep getting games into him, the experience he's getting is invaluable.

 

[Bizzbizz]

Can’t keep carrying him feels like we play one down since his tog is so low and gives away too many free kicks. Needs to go back to the magoos for a few weeks

Disagree. He’s at least competitive when he’s rucking and giving Nank a massive chop out.

We’ve got no one else on the list to do that at this stage.
