Was another great athletic display tonight. Closing speed is the key ingredient to any quality defender, and he has it in spades. And his foot disposal is a joy to watch!

The thoroughbred never had the whip applied, hands and heels.

Still won his race by six lengths.

The Chuck Wagon was a good lesson.

Great stuff. And how was the laser pass on the left on the run under pressure!

Kennedy/Tomahawk to come will be big challenges.

At least Noah has 2 H&A games to learn from and to play against these guys before finals

Yep a few good tests coming up.

Just as a comparison:

Charlie Dixon: 200cm 107kg
Tom Hawkins: 198cm 103kg
Josh Kennedy: 196cm, (plus long arms :))), 102kg
Noah Balta: 194/95cm, 100kg.

Not sure Noah’s weight is being reported correctly.
They say he is 10kg heavier than Rance was. Can’t see it myself and admittedly don’t trust the Clubs measuring tools.

I thought Balta was taller for some reason. He has the weight to go with these guys, speed also I guess, not sure about his vertical leap.

They will want to keep Balta deep and play the wrestle game I suspect.

2017 Draft Central had Noah at 195cm and 94.85kg so not unreasonable that he is now 100kg, Croats are big boned heavy buggers ;)
