Early in the 3rd quarter, a goal was scored,, we only had 5 in the fwd 50
Noah came off the bench and SPRIINTED Into our fwd 50 before any free kick could be played
I swear he covered about 100 meters in about 6 seconds,,,* he was motoring,
Looked like Usain Bolt ,,,,,did anyone else see this ,, he is scary quick
 
Morro you still thinking this kids a dud ?

Just to clarify I never said he was a dud. I said we we couldn't keep carrying a guy averaging 6 posessions and unable to mark.

His best 2 games have coincided with having more responsibility and he has grown a lot the last 2-3 weeks.

I also said his potential was clear but wasn't ready.

Seems his improvement could be rapid which is exciting

Haha yer I did. He looked like an aus kicker keen to get out there and play footy.
He was late getting on the ground and needed to get to position fast for the 666

Haha I turned to my mate and said that he would've broken the 100m record if they timed that. He was seriously moving.

Balta was the player i wanted the most from the draft

#15 - Traded it out (sh!t) hope he last until #17
#17 - Jack Higgins (oh well we have #20 and only 2 picks fingers crossed)
#20 - Coleman - Jones (love CCJ but thought clearly our recruiters dont rate him he will be gone)
#21 .............
#22 .............
#23 .............
#24 ............. (please god let us take him)
#25 - NOAH BALTA ( Farq Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh )


Kids going to become a beast of a player i have no doubt and playing a full year and another pre season he will be going flat out for 90% Game Time and good luck trying to tag him he punishes the opposition players by ramming them Townsend Style

When Dimma was asked where he sees Balta playing his best footy in the next 5 years, he replied "Probably under another coach" :(

I hope that doesn't mean Balta is gonna leave :(

Could see the cashed up Dogs going hard...

Dimma will retire after the 3 peat

Saw that too. Hopefully Dimma doesn’t see himself departing in the next few years. Would hate that
 
Find it interesting that Dimma said that they see Balta more as a defender and still want to try and settle him there but that he also makes it hard because of the way he does things when playing up the ground.
