Got bigger issues to worry about personally now but his off season brain fade & resulting self inflicted suspension has really weakened us defensively. Whilst not a perfect product by any stretch, we’re missing Balta’s experience, strength, pace & intercept marking that a well paid, elite key defender provides an AFL side.
Much of that responsibility is now falling to the likes of Miller & Blight who’d be on a fraction of Noah’s salary & they’re copping supporter wrath unreasonably as they try to cover. His off field stupidity has really punished the team on field.

Yep, Balta would be our best player in his peak years.

I was excited pre season with the thought that we could have defensive pillars together for the next 6-7 years in Balta and Gibcus. It seems a long way off now.

We can still hope and dream I guess, add Trainor to that duo and we have a potentially great defensive spine

Will he ver play for us again ?
RIP Andrew Krakuoer. On this topic, I have already seen it described as 'inspirational' by Krakuoer - that being playing AFL again after spending time in jail, for serious assault. So I personally really hope we stick with Balta all the way

Very unlikely Balta is going to jail
