Only bloke out there to win his first flag.

What an exciting season for him to build upon. Could be anything.

Congratulations Noah on your Premiership medal.

May you get one next year also and be able to really savour a Tiger Flag in Melbourne before the Army at the G !!

Being groomed in the best defence by the some of the best.

Will be his backline in a few years time and he will rule it well.

Just a pup. 75% improvement in him.

Terrifying. Could turn into peak Kouta.

Or we find someone else to be king of the backline and release Balta to be an oversized ruck rover

Yes, magnificent game from the 21 year old Noah. I advocate such too; he is an offensive weapon. Too limiting to confine him to minding an opponent.

Agreed. Has been brilliant in defence this year, when we really needed him. Great development year for him. Has been good in the ruck too, his presence around the ground was really important. He's the ultimate utility player, plug and play anywhere he's needed. He'll only get better at it all the more games he plays.

Hopefully Miller can be that key back we need and Nank and Balta can take the ruck next season while Soldo and CCJ are out

Just goes about being great. Not many teenagers cement their place in a premiership team and play such an important role.

Hawkins who? Congratulations lad.

Such a high ceiling, he’s just getting started. Look out once he gets his eyes sorted!
