Player Watch #21: Noah Balta - Pleaded Guilty To Be Sentenced March 27th

[Tiger1974]

Had a mate who was there talking to him about an hour earlier and said he was good. He also told me the day after it came out, that he is 95% sure what happened because he was there, and it’s sounding pretty accurate the way it’s playing out.

Ok then, what happened?

Not going into details but let’s just say the bloke asked for a clip over the ear.

If the club still had any balls it would tear up his 7yr contract and put him on a 1yr performance based one.

Yep, brilliant move in his free agency year.

Don't ever go into list management.

More to the point, troll better, you are dead set struggling.

Shouldn't have even been suspended imo and probally shouldve belted the campaigner a few more times .

 

[shaky]

More like Pom days hell be send to some unforgiving country to serve his sentence at the AFL pleasure. Me things up north GC maybe

Send him to Van Diemen's Land more likely.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Hope Noah takes a deep breath, does up his laces (pun intended) and returns to footy.

 

[wegetpumped]

Send him to Van Diemen's Land more likely.

Why it's nice and cool over there I'm thinking of ditching this fn heat and moving there . Nahh send him where it's nice and hot most of the year.

AFL would drag us over the coals for it. They could foresee it as an opening of Pandora's box with draft tampering or player movement tampering.

Afl working wonders again
Liam Ryan has been cleared by the AFL after the West Coast Eagles star was alleged to have been involved in a street brawl earlier this month.

A video that allegedly showed the small forward engaging in a fight with another man went viral last month.

The footage showed two individuals, one of which appeared to be Ryan, trading punches in front of a crowd of onlookers following a festival in Western Australia on January 17.

Was it confirmed that it was Ryan fighting?

Balta must of nearly killed that guy.

If Richmond was to tear up bolta’s contract and he took free agency we would most likely get another top 3 pick as compensation. Not suggesting it but the damage done by tearing up his contract would not be a total disaster like you’re suggesting.

Well that would rely on him getting an offer of over $900k x 5+ years. And us finishing bottom 3.

It would also leave us without a flag player under about 30 years of age.

It would also deprive us of a potentially very damaging and unique footballer in his prime.

If it was obviously the right thing to do, the club would have left signing Balta until the FA market had been tested.

We wouldn’t. He’s no Josh Battle.

Ryans was also deemed self-defence and his wife had been attacked.

Context is important.

Yes

Yes but if Balta wasn't honorable afl would have spun it that way also. Now we have prestia and because he was with the hot headed May you watch it all get swiped. The problem is not who did what but what are they doing hanging around there in the first place. We all know they are sitting ducks and easy prey.

The Border Mail is reporting that Noah will be sued by the victim, for pain and suffering…He reckons he can’t work and has a permanent scar on his forehead…Anxiety and depression etc…I think he’s in a bit of strife…The CCTV shows that he hit the guy two more times, as he tried to get up…He could be up for a big payout, civil courts are victim-centric…
Not to mention the conviction and fine that is coming his way…The only thing saving him from gaol will be no priors (he would hope)…

it's going to hurt him..

good lesson for him..
Next time don't be a moron, out fighting with other morons.

Sounds like the fella has a big case of dickheaditus. No cure available

 

[captain bloodsport]

Can you terminate someone's contract if they are incarcerated?

Sounds like the guy is actually smart and knows how this plays out. Get a nice pay out for the assault, will get it as Noah has already pleaded guilty. As for the only thing that's saving him from gaol, I find that a bit of a reach.
