We aren't good with these experimental types.
Besides that run against hawthorn down the centre, ive seen nothing to say he is going to be any good.

With our injuries Barlta is being arksd to do too much in too many positions.
He's looking tired already and we're just over halfway.
Hopefully when Nan and Jack return he can settle into a set position.

He is no good. With or without injuries.
Seriously, was he on the ground on Thursday night?

I’d be sending Noah up to Hayman island for a week, let the big fella put his feet up and get some sun, don’t think anybody needs a breather more then Noah, along with Syd his shown the greatest array of highlights in the first half of the season

The commentary was over hyping-Chol's night (did well in difficult circumstances but just OK I thought) but I thought Balta competed well. Varied his approach and had an impact.

I don't think the club (or Noah) would have expected him to play the amount of games he has, let alone all the different positions. At 19 years old he's basically been told to play everywhere. Will be far better for it hopefully.

I’ve been noticing some of the bizarre times you’ve been posting Zips.
Are you actually a computer generated algorithm set to “negativity”?

Correct. Only played 63% game time. I believe he's being managed. Was used mainly as the backup ruckman and a ruckman is simply not his future role.

The bye is coming at a good time. A few of the young blokes starting to look cooked.
A week off to freshen up, and a few seasoned bodies back in a fortnight, could help revive the season.

His output has certainly decreased. Perhaps his athleticism and current limitations is better suited to dry weather, early season football. The heavier ground and ball brings him back to the field a little.

Yeah ups and downs will be a part of his progress and that’s fine. Super exciting watching Balta, Stack, Naish and Ross. We’ve got some real quality.

Lets be honest here. Neither of our stand-in rucks did well.

O'Brien is a rookie himself yet scored 181 supercoach. Thats higher than even Grundy or Gawns best games.
