Watch when Balta starts nailing some of those long range bombs. This kid can be absolutely anything. You can already hear the commentators saying it’s not fair that we got him.

You can tell Dimma is on Noah like white on rice because he knows he could be all-world.

His public messaging is always very similar, “He’s good, but how good he can be depends entirely on how much he wants it”.
Do you reckon the sub text was he's a bit lazy?

Not lazy. Free wheels outside structure too much is my impression. Noah said as much in his post match interview on Fox Footy when he joked about going for his marks too much.

No, I reckon he thinks he has another potential Rance on his hands and would have seen first hand how much work Rance put in to get to where he did.

Its like Dusty - its no accident he is as good as he is and is getting better.

Gets caught out of position on occasions and ball watches a bit. Will only improve.
Probably also needs to work on his endurance.
On track to being a star but hope he can handle the over-the top adulation and Rance comparisons at such an early stage of his development.

Watching below vid depressingly reminds me how significantly I lucked out in the body department :(:)).

You gotta love Noah though.

We're genetically disadvantaged, KnifeRack! We will just be food for the alphas when the apocalypse arrives.

To badly quote a character from Douglas Adams book "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe"...

"...May I urge you to consider my liver, Noah? It must be very rich and tender by now, I've been force-feeding myself for years..."

Fantastic signing. I have watched him pretty closely since
his arrival in ‘17, along with his mate Bolton who arrived the year before.
Noah is already a fantastic player and has the ability and the drive to make him one of our best ever.

He even dresses like Clarke Kent when he’s not leaping tall buildings in a single bound
