Noah Balta, the player with the AFL's rarest skillset, even though he is an elite KPF / Ruck, was given KPD duties for this game, and was arguably Richmond's best player on Thursday night

He had the most Intercept possessions of any player on the field with 9

He had the most score involvements of any KPD on the ground with 5

Happy to help

The unfortunately reality - for both Richmond fans and opposition ones - is that his best is very good, and his brain fades/worst is both hilarious and infuriating. When his brain is plugged in (as it was in the second half) he's a more than decent footballer. Looked very good at times. When his brain departs his body he can be an outright liability.

All depends which version turns up.

Wow

That’s deep

 

[ThatsjustDappa]

Hopefully wont see punchy version for awhile.....

 

[Mr.X]

He seems a little off his game recently, maybe carrying too much on his shoulders?

 

[ray_purchase]

Noah Balta is a flag winning KPD that can pinch hit in the ruck, this year he has become an elite FWD/Ruck.

Is there any player in the AFL that can play Ruck, KPD and KPF at an elite level?

Absolutely elite, just look at the career averages. He can simply do it all!!

And I see that you mean by him being an elite forward-ruck.... averaging 0.2 goals per game and 1.6 hitouts is truly special.

One of the bigger contract blunders in recent years, that could cost them fairly heavily given some of their drafting looks quite sketchy.

Balta was Richmonds McKay/Oscar Allan opportunity and they decided to sign him to a huge contract right through a ground up rebuild. He doesn't strike as the leadership type either.

He absolutely would have brought Band 1 compo at that point.

Incredible that the player with the rarest skill set is playing for the bottom team

Here we go

Still waiting for you to tell me how all of our flags where due to priority picks

Lol

The bloke is a spud. Arguably one of the worst players getting a regular game in the AFL.

showed how rare his skillset is last night

The premiership kp backman took
On the greatest ruckman the afl has ever seen, and completely outplayed him in the first quarter

Not many can do that , I guess that is why he is so unique

 

[tiger_tough]

Looked great in the ruck. Hopefully he stays there.

Unique af

 

[Captain_Bender]

Superstar

 

[tiger_tough]

I think he might actually be a ruckman

 

[blaisee]

Absolutely strapped us on his back

Incredible performance.

 

[demondavey]

But it's the vibe

Of punching someone in the head

 

[juss]

Been great recently as a ruck/utility

As opposed to the 4 years of crickets from Richmond supporters. Had a great game against a fellow bottom 4.
Now just needs to back it up weekly and against teams that have a half decent ruck
