Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

Hope I am wrong but I wonder if Noah's game today had something to do with the fact it was played in day light and he could actually see properly.
After last weeks nightmare Noah had a great game today and made Walker look second rate
Was enormous today.
Please never compare him to Rance again.
It’s got to stop.
Rance was a monolith. Incomparable.
Balta is only human.
That thought crossed my mind as well , particularly when Adelaide had their run of momentum,
My best memories of rance were of him fighting hard when things were not going our way
Rance like is a perfect comparison. Don't forget Rance was subject to the odd calamity!
I have been pretty critical of Balta, at times, but he was awesome yesterday.
I just wish he would always go for the ball when its in the air - I reckon he only gets in trouble when he is too focused on his opponent.

Should be banned from playing night games! Different player during the day.
I said he should play forward, not ready to concede that yet though.
I was in Boganville on saturday and to me, he was clearly BOG. Great comeback this week.
There could be something in that. He was back to that confident young bull when we were in real trouble. Critical to the win.
HE honestly could these days as you’re allowed to run about 20 metres out from the 10 metre square and then he’s capable of a 60m kick.
I'd like him to run off a bit more and really burn his oppo. Double the pain seeing the ball move 80m away - 20m run 60m kick.
Even if it doesn't work - no way that ball's coming back from 80m before Balta's back and manning up.

From Robbo's 'likes' column:
4. Noah Balta
He floats between being horribly spasmodic and being a generational talent, and against the Crows it was the latter. He took nine intercept marks, which is a rare feat for a defender. The AFL record is 10, which is held by Tom Stewart, Jade Rawlings, Daniel Talia, Liam Jones, Steven May and Aliir Aliir. Balta played on Tex Walker and conceded two goals. Eleven of his 13 disposals were intercepts and he was third across the match for metres gained (479). They are the numbers, but it’s attitude which stands out when he plays well. He attacks the contests and is always on the bounce, always wanting to be involved.
