Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

[123cups]

He’s a defender.

Even gets angry like Rance does after losing a contest

 

[craig]

We have to persist with the lad.

Theres no merit dropping him for lesser options.

 

[jb03]

Many worse than him. Would be madness to drop him.

And was forced to play back, forward and ruck - not easy.

Agree

10 minutes of greatness
Rest of the game ???

 

[MB78]

We are a small team. No point in dropping him as we need the talls.

 

[Tenacious Tiges]

Ain’t his fault, still learning the game and he’s made the swing man with a lack of seniors around.

 

[zippadeee]

why dont we ever draft NATURAL footballers? he looks clumsy and uncoordinated

 

[btoz_01]

Must persist with him He needs games will be a star

 

[Bill James]

Our backline looked better when he was there, our midfield looked better when he was there our forward line looked better when he was there.

 

[axlefoley]

There ain't no other versatile youngster going around at Punk Road at the moment. Earnt his stripe tonight. Is a stayer.

 

[Tigers2011]

Our backline looked better when he was there, our midfield looked better when he was there our forward line looked better when he was there.

Agree - just need to play him. Bring in proper second ruck and settle him back. Rance Mark ll

 

[St Kevin]

Nearly gave him a vote. Apart from that mark he dropped in the first, thought he was very good.

 

[mk33]

I'm sure some said the same things about Rance and look how he turned out
Gotta persist.
Will be a player.

This is a great call. Probably best to see to see the Rance thread from 10 years ago.

Couple of bad fumbles early but got better as game went. Was being played everywhere too. His marking will improve with more games. We have another player here.

 

[Pandaboy]

Keep him in, but dropped everything. I thought his marking was supposed to be his strength?? I just dont see it.

very uncoordinated, he was running around like he had clown shoes on

 

[Stoobes]

He could be anything this kid, don't even bother looking at his stats til year 3 or so.
Genuinely rapt to see him in the team every week playing all different positions.
That goal...

If that had been Buddy they would have had to clean the inside of the commentary box window.

His overhead marking is actually his weakness. He is a bit of a two grabber.

But i really like him and we have to persevere. He was being used to plug holes everywhere tonight.
