Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

[UKTiger]

For one so inexperienced in AFL level, he sure is going well. Talent to burn and looks indestructable

 

[Coburgtiger]

New plan: 1st Ruck for the rest of the year.

 

[St Kevin]

Best game of his career.

Love the penetration he gets on his kicks.

Best game of his career.

Love the penetration he gets on his kicks.

Loves to impact any contest he's in. I love the impetus he brings when he the ball in hand and room to run. 60m gain each time

 

[Ridley]

What about his pass to George late in the game? He was under pressure but just caressed the ball out in front of George who unfortunately didn’t mark it as he tried to chest mark it instead of taking it in his hands. But the kick was a thing of beauty and showed a Balta has a diverse skill set as opposed to his usual bull at a gate MO which we love.

Agree at least until nank returns.

His follow up work in contests is huge. He’s like a bulldozer

10 contested possessions, equal most for us, bloody unique beast is Balta

Excitement machine. Brilliant in the ruck, moreso for his efforts once it hit the ground. Could easily turn into a midfielder.

He plays like Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds. He just pushes them out of the way... :hihi

Wow..that looks like something from my 1980’s Atari game G

 

[pete and tys]

For those of you old enough to remember A Koutafides...Balta is him mark 2.
With a couple of pre seasons he will be the most influential player in the league
and will win games off his own boot. Wait and see folks.

Can’t remember the name

And the dinky 6m pass to $hai for his 4th. Had the vision, composure and soft touch to change his kick as the ball was going from hand to foot.

He was awesome tonight. Boy, do we have one here. Big, strong, aggressive, confident, powerful, fast and kicks the cover off it. Sky's the limit.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Unique player. Great to see our young blokes not having the flair coached out of them on top of being prepared to work hard.

Strength and power to turn a game like Jonathan Brown.

 

[easy_tiger]

colossal game tonight.

history could possibly revel it as the most important game

in our post gap year premiership defence.

So true. What a combination - flair and hard work. Will be our first ruck next week.
