If Geelong make it to the granny and if the GOAT can shut Hawkins down, then you'll need to find an avatar that shows Noah holding both Dixon and Hawkins as either a baby or a dog. I reckon you previous avatar when Noah was walking Dixon like a dog was a really funny one.

It didn’t fit that nice in the avatar though. This fits nice.

Get it done for whatever it takes.

The last time I read those exact words on a Tiger board was for Brad Ottens in about 2001. And they were profound and impeccable words back then too. :thumbsu:

Gee just watched a replay of the third quarter. He was immense.
What a time to step up, incredible.

I remember posting about Noah before the draft and watching us pass on him with #17 & #20 thinking sh!t he will be gone and was over the moon when selected him w -ith #25.

In hindsight
#17 - Oscar Allen
#20 - Sam Taylor
#25 - Noah Balta

Would have us sorted for our KPD & KPF for the future

Honestly wouldn’t have minded one Tim Kelly too, even if he went back to Perth wed have a strong draft hand.

but CCJ still has a lot of time.

He'll be out on the ... not much I'd guess.

have his 21st celebrations tomorrow night. Plenty of bruises and hits, and getting a nice medal for a present. Very appropriate. Fairy tale you might say.

Caroline Wilsons tip for the Norm Smith I believe! Go Noah!

Could be the game breaker tomorrow.......Maybe Dimma gave us a little taste of his strategy when playing him forward a couple of times in the finals so far? Three talls in attack would really stretch Geelongs defence which is undersized already, plus he's way too quick for any of their plodders, add Dusty to the mix and they'd be running around like headless chooks.

Would only happen if we are losing and in the 2nd half and our fowards structure is not working

I hope it doesnt get that way

I hope so too, but we are running an 8 man defence which does free up one or two of them. Depends on rotations, but I can see Balta playing more time forward, assisting in the link up from defence in transition, providing another target forward as well as separating their defence including disrupting Geelong's exits from defence.

Has 11 kids and expecting another tomorrow

Roachy8 · Oct 23, 2020

Hard to believe he was only 20 last week when he did a great job on Dixon

what a future!

THE_GUN · Oct 23, 2020

Just give him a 12 year deal now

xInfected_Virus · Oct 23, 2020

If Balta shuts down Hawkins then time for JR#8 to create another profile pic of Noah holding baby Dixon and Hawkins so tigs2010 can use them as avatars.

Dr Awkward · Oct 23, 2020

If anyone can stop Hawkins it's Balta. Has the athleticism to go with him on the lead, has the size to wrestle, and has the ability to jump over the top of him and spoil, and commands that Hawkins respect his rebounding abilities.

Balta is not human. He was grown in a lab in a high-risk scientific experiment by Neil Balme and B.Gale.

I’ve loved Noah in defence and think he’s an AA kpb
But he’d make an incredible kpf with his speed/strength/size and ability on the ground and in the air.
Could really see him complimenting Lynch when Reiwoldt hangs up the boots.

Noah, Dusty, Bolton, Lynch, in the same forward line would be mouthwatering

Yeah - wish we had two of them.
That brief period at the end of the 3rd last week when he was swung forward and took the mark out in front on a hard lead.... WOW!
Could be an awesome CHF.

And the best pair of hands in the comp.

Some guys don’t need a lot of kicks to hurt the opposition; some don’t need many marking opportunities to take a good number of marks.

Clunks ‘em in the wet.

Grrr · Oct 24, 2020

Wouldn't mind Astbury going to Hawkins. Can anyone remember when Astbury had more than 2 goals kicked on him. I can't.
