Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

How can such a big man be so agile at ground level? A genuine swing player and after this seasons experience at AFL level he will be a real beast that will scare opposition
 
Great game tonight Not afraid to take the game on and tackle with ferocity
Please can we never play him purely as a backman Noah has too much talent for that.
Let him create havoc roaming the ground centre, wings and forward line
 
Cujo was getting monstered by bellychambers, which wasnt a surprise.
Mid game Noah took the lead ruck role so that we had a contest.
He was super important in the ruck. Unsmilenbelievable

Yes, yes. Exactly. You get it! Don't try to turn an amazing and naturally attacking player into a negating defender only. Play to win, not save games! Such great attacking instincts are rare and the abilities to sustain it.

(As with the great Richo; up forward or even wing early and late career - but never down back.)
 
Did Noah kick the torp out of defence? Ch7 were trying to get a wide shot of the entire crowd, MCG surrounds and the road down to Geelong at the time so I couldn't make out who it was on the TV. And the commentators had no idea most of the night and just said "he".

Jack's (the multiple Coleman medalist that is) reaction in the box was funny.
 
Apt comment. More doofus C7 coverage with Darcy commentating. Lol.

Was trying to make it out too. Balts or Grimes? Who could tell? Certainly not the viewers, nor the dumbass commentary!
 
Getting better every week , although his ruckwork is novel , he doesn’t get pushed around like CCJ was . Love his boldness to take the game on at every chance , such an offensive weapon
