The Herald-Sun says the victim of the assault is in hospital with head lacerations.
So, it is a serious assault.
Noah probably handed himself in at the police station the next morning.
The best thing to do to clear the air.
Co-operate with the authorities, hopefully receive a lighter punishment.

I feel like not picking our leadership yet has at least partially contributed to this …. Identify and announce you’re club leaders for the year early so they can put players on notice for this stuff so it doesn’t happen

Hopefully a good behaviour bond, wait to see.
Might have been provoked, but still no excuse.
The club would have told him to hand himself in for sure. Not smart enough to think of that himself

Experience players are leaders anyhow, regardless if they are officially in the group.

Isn't a laceration just another word for a cut? Could just be two small cuts on his forehead and he's in hospital for some other reason, like high blood pressure
 
Prestia, Lynch and now Balta. Bloody hell. Not a great look when we're filled with impressionable kids who need solid leaders around them. I thought so before hand but now I'm convinced Taranto needs to be given the captaincy. Nank was always a lousy stop gap solution. Bloody Balta. Dumɓarse.

Let’s not get Lynch and Prestia mixed up in this. Isn’t their only ‘crime’ that they were out at 2am and trouble broke out around them which they had zero involvement in?

Stengle was hospitalised after a nightclub incident ‘in-season’ and copped zero penalty and played the next week. 2am in the off-season having some drinks is not even worthy of comment - they’ve been largely model citizens so don’t deserve to be lumped with Balta.

Socialising when our at team was at the top was not so bad, these days though there are bound to be drunken jibes and targeting at venues.
He's nipped it in the bud by fronting the police station.
Hopefully, just a good-behaviour bond as punishment.

youre gonna get cut copping a bareknuckle fist to the head. people here acting as if he hacked him with a machete lol. 100% some campaigner shined him on and got dropped hard. theyd take him to hospital as a precaution and theyd be the sort of ******** that would say 'yes officer i would like to press charges'.
 
If this had to happen then this incident could not have come at a better time. 5th test about to start. Footy media all on holidays. Then his court date is during Aus Open ….again, before footy media wakes up and everyone is on holidays.

If he gets a fine or it’s shown he was provoked or acting in self defence then this story won’t have any oxygen left by the time footy starts.

And it’s hopefully the catalyst for pristine off field behaviour for this entire new generation as we begin our climb up the ladder.

Remember Dusty/Connors early in our last rebuild? That turned out ok.
