You can't knock his determination, it's when things go wrong that he needs to deal with better.
While he had plenty of the ball last night (think he was the biggest possession winner), he continually turned it over. His kicking was horrendous

Kicking to stationery targets can make it look like that. Not saying Noah was brilliant last night, but seemed to be 1 of our best on TV, and continually tried to take the game on as he does. The fact we had no-one to mark the ball down the line, and if we then got it over the line, we probably would lose the clearance it was a tough game for a backman.
He definitely took the game on. But bit off more than he could chew a few times. From above I could see him miss targets. On top of the 5 goals Daniher kicked, I reckon another 3 or 4 came from Balta's turnovers.
He's having a good season.
The ball was down there a lot & he repelled plenty.
Sheesh who'd want to be a defender with the way the ball kept coming in.
They deserve a bonu$ this week.

Still makes a few mistakes but works himself into the ground and along with Broad and Vlastuin was the difference between us getting well beaten and one heck of a shellacking. Still reminds me of a pre 2016 Alex Rance and tracking well to at least match the champ
There's a couple of classic games on Kayo during the 2012 season which i plan to watch to get a feel for how Rance played at that stage of his development (fourth season). I have hope Balta can replicate Rance in his own way.

I think a number of clubs and players are wearing those anklet type socks now. Thought I noticed it a few weeks ago in an actual game. Can’t remember which game/team but I remember thinking that the AFL must have endorsed a change.
Those ones Noah is wearing might just be ad-hoc non game day or training items but I’m pretty sure some clubs are using shortened versions of their full socks in actual games.

Makes a number of schoolboy errors most matches with suicide passes but when it counts the lad stands up and makes several crucial interceptions today that kept us in the game.
His trajectory is heading upwards.
Will be AA staple in the next couple of years
