Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

Yep j
Just saw picture in Herald Sun. Saints player's body weight is on Balta's lower leg turning it sideways and knee is still straight. That's exactly how I did an ACL in the mud. Likely not good.
Surely he wears contacts though? I'm short sighted and wear contacts and have no issues.
Of course he'd wear contacts, but night time is still harder to judge ball flight for me, and it looks like for Noah as well. He might want to look at laser surgery.
12 months, more or less. That LARS procedure seems to have fallen out of favour.
Looks like it’s not an acl , but bad syndemosus

Noah Balta injury update…

From RFC website...
Richmond defender Noah Balta is yet to have scans after being subbed out of Friday night's loss to St Kilda.
It appears Balta's knee is better than first thought, but he has suffered a significant ankle syndesmosis injury which will require surgery.
He will have scans on both ankle and knee to confirm clinical findings.
The Club will provide a further update once those findings are confirmed.

So Broad and Balta both syndesmosis? Hopefully the surgeon gives us a 2 for 1 discount
You can’t get LASIK till mid to late twenties, when the myopia settles down, otherwise the effects won’t last.
Jack Riewoldt (special comments on pies v freo) saying Balta has a syndesmosis injury and not an ACL, commentators on fox footy saying that's great news for balta as they were fearing the worst.
Yeah I heard Jack and was glad it wasn't an ACL. F*ck this season, as long as Balta's back for 2022 is more important.
I have been happy with Ben Miller's game. Will make his debut next week no doubt.
Great Great News !!
So glad to hear it is not a ACL, Ive no doubt he could possibly have a medial or lateral injury of sorts due to that sheering twisting mechanism on the knee which is also the very mechanism that tears the syndesmosis ligaments supporting the joint of the Tibia and Fibula at the ankle.
Sounds like a rupture of the syndesmosis ligaments and associated separation of the Tib Fib for Noah.
Serious syndesmosis injuries resulting under heavy force / mechanism can lead to fracture and even compound fracture often seen in road trauma or falls from heights.
A nasty injury but a better result for him long term than an ACL.
If it means we get Noah back for Pre Season 2022 that in itself is great news.
Nathan might yet still return if his is not as bad , but we will find out.
If the season is going down the toilet and they are up against it probably better to let them both rehab fully and have them both fit and focussed for 2022.
