Was Noah Balta's ball use in the first half tonight the equal of any ball use ever seen? At Richmond, Riewoldt, Edwards. Peak Cotchin. They have had moments and freak ball use is a modern thing. The young players are better.

Dusty must have had better uses? Of course. But the freak speed and vision of Balta. The touch. Wow.
Corey Ellis like at times.

Just continues to go from strength to strength. I thought he was outstanding again.

I am deadly serious in that I think he should be in the AA squad at a minimum. From what I have seen he has clearly been in the top few defenders competition wide this season.

Wont happen though as they prefer a body of work over a number of seasons first.
He should be, but pretty sure it will be Andrews, Weitering, McGovern. Stewart always seems to get in, Grimes should be there as well

McGovern has only played 10 games this season, with in one of them him barely playing a quarter due to injury (Saints). I cant see him even making the squad unless they pick him on reputation alone.

Noah parted the seas, his disciples Lord Grimes and Sir Vlastuin levitated across the hallowed turf to wash away Hawkins Island, and lead all followers, to a great victory over the pestilence of the Cat

And the body of water is now known as the Dead Sea due to all the Salt from Salty Scott that was sprayed.

Is he even alive these days?

Lucky we traded Bobble to the Suns as I couldn't ever see the Suns trading with us ever again after we stitched em up taking Caddy, Prestia AND Tommy from them then giving them 2 years of Corey the Invisible.

We really only got Prestia and Lynch from the Suns. We got Caddy from Geelong. He saw the writing on the wall early and got out of the Suns as soon as he could.

Are both Corey and Miles even on the GC list still? Have not heard a peep about them in forever.

Super game. Super. I sense that Astbury coming back will only help his game too.
If Astbury takes the deepest forward imo Balta will be even more effective further up the field. More of an attacking CHB where his kicking skills would be very effective.
Grimes can go back to taking mediums and smalls.
