Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

From Robbo's 'likes' column:

4. Noah Balta

He floats between being horribly spasmodic and being a generational talent, and against the Crows it was the latter. He took nine intercept marks, which is a rare feat for a defender. The AFL record is 10, which is held by Tom Stewart, Jade Rawlings, Daniel Talia, Liam Jones, Steven May and Aliir Aliir. Balta played on Tex Walker and conceded two goals. Eleven of his 13 disposals were intercepts and he was third across the match for metres gained (479). They are the numbers, but it’s attitude which stands out when he plays well. He attacks the contests and is always on the bounce, always wanting to be involved.

That's the Rancey transformation for sure.

Played well and proved he can play at night which has been a question.

Please, leave him in defence, he is getting the hang of it hopefully.

Remember when we tried to turn Rance into a mid? Remember when we tried to turn Noah into a forward?

Both are gun defenders

Please tell him when he us running through the centre to boot it forward stop with these *smile* chip passes.
Not sure where his best position is..with nakas being useless around the ground.
Maybe try Balta as a mobile ruckman
 
Butchered it today, Noah.
Has the name to be much more assured and un-bothered by cataclysmic conditions.
I still think he has vision issues.
Get him sorted, Dimma.
