Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland
- Thread starter RICHO_12
- Start date
He looks like and plays like he was genetically engineered in a lab by Elon Musk to play this game.
The sky is the absolute limit. I'm amazed at how one touch his marking is and how good his footskills are. He's like a young colt, who's well on his way to becoming a stallion.

What's got me is how well he's been reading the ball in the air. This was the one thing I thought he'd struggle with in defence, couldn't have been more wrong.
Imagine both notorious and biggie in the same defence. Juicy. West Coast won’t know what hit em.
Lucky we didn't have Pick 1 in 2017 we might have wasted it on Cam Raynor
An exercise in hindsight, what players, (if any), inside the top 25 would you draft ahead of Balta? I only have Jaidyn Stephenson, Aaron Naughton and Tim Kelly in the conversation.

Just reviewing my post of May 2019, i was spot on if you can forgive my Jayden Stephenson comment
Same.
Thought he was somewhat hesitant last year but this year wow.
Another scalp.
Big assignment on Dixon Saturday.
He won’t know who Dixon is? Leppa said he’d never heard of Harris Andrews this week when he said he should try to emulate him
I never thought I'd say we have found a replacement for the greatest Richmond back to ever lace up, a mere 12 months since his departure. Tracking off the charts.
Off the charts.
What do we do with Astbury???
-Does the band get together?
-Does Balta replace Chol as the -ruck/forward?
-Do we leave the kid in?
-What do we do with Astbury??
Balta is a back and I think with him in the team we will match up against the Eagles really well - that’s one team where Astbury and Balta could line up together.
Love watching his breakout year.

He might have them all covered. Not the best draft that one.Just reviewing my post of May 2019, i was spot on if you can forgive my Jayden Stephenson comment
