Noah Answerth: 182cm, 82kg, 06/08/1999
“Noah is an Oakleigh Chargers junior who captained them this year.”
“Showed fantastic resilience to come back and play some really good footy for the Chargers and Vic Metro after fracturing his back in 2017.
“He’s a really competitive player and showed his versatility in the championships, playing as a shutdown defender and forward.”

EARLIER this year, it seemed Noah Answerth was almost certain to be drafted. The rebounding half-back had a competitive streak, serious speed and was set for a big season.
Instead, he was forced to wear a back brace for 13 weeks.
The incident happened in Answerth's second TAC Cup game this year, when his Oakleigh Chargers faced Eastern Ranges in early April.
Answerth flew for a mark and when he went to ground, someone landed on him and his body was compressed at an odd angle.
He suffered a fracture to his L1 vertebra, which is located about three-quarters down the spine.

#12 Noah Answerth
I really enjoyed the game of the Charger’s skipper, a competitor that was never going to let Dandenong have anything easy in any circumstance. He started at the first centre bounce and often went back to help his defence by sitting in the hole or directing traffic. He produced a big moment in the second term, chasing down the dangerous Toby Bedford deep in defence who looked like snapping a simple goal. He was effective at the stoppages too, using his body to advantage, spinning out of trouble and quickly releasing at one point in the second quarter. He was not far off Rowell and Collier-Dawkins as Oakleigh’s best, collecting 26 disposals, four clearances and six rebound 50s.
