Doesn't help they trialed him forward then moved him back
He has a problem with his eyesight doesn't he? Needs contacts
Maybe needs the goggles like Kareen Abdul-Jabbar
No for sure, that certainly hasn't helped but I think his forward days are probably done now except for some cameo appearances and hopefully he can develop into a top line defender.
He really took some nice steps foward in many roles in 2022
His Ruckwork whilst not elite created a contest and has a good leap allowing Nank a rest
Foward craft was also pretty good with the limited times he went foward and marked the ball well at the highest point
Defence is still developing but looked strong and agile
Not the finished project yet but definitely very good signs but i would love to see him go foward abit more
All true, and this has been raised on several occasions by the coaching staff with Noah. However I can't help but think that the forward experiment was detrimental to his season. Leave him back and keep him there.
Rioli tweeted that he loved where he is and he dosent like Melbourne. Concerning
This is the best nugget on the board in a long time. Good get DA Baracus.
Yeah, the forward experiment has been floated since drafted, I've never seen it. Balta is a straight line footballer, needs to see it unfold in front of him.
Gibcus and Balta have the backhalf locked down for the next 8-10 years. I'm happy with that.
Shame Syds not joining them ............................ mightve shown some actual care factor.
Lost his way a bit last year.
Bouncing all over the ground no doubt had him thinking too much, and hes not a natural footballer.
FB is his best suited position straight ahead and punch it every time ya cant mark it, its simple stuff.
I still think one of them might have to play forward, unless Miller or Ryan can hold down a spot as a pinch hitting forward/ruck.
Probably nowhere. He signed a long term deal last year. He generally goes back home during the off season, and he loves it up there. Fair enough. I don’t think there’s any team up there that could give him what he gets out of playing for the Tigers with his mates and his uncle.
Keep him in he backline & see how he goes. He looked lost at times after being thrown around too much. Baker has said he'd like to stay in the 1 spot instead of being thrown around also.
