Player Watch #21: Noah Balta - Suspended First 4 Games

[Punt rd end]

Should be noted that this is directly from the club based on what Noah has told them

We wouldn’t be pushing anything if we believed he had nothing to answer for like with Rioli and Bolton

Maybe the CFL has entered the building with a suggested ban, as I said I will wait until I hear the details

I am confident it’s the same punishment most if not all other clubs would have done. Will see how he goes in court.

 

[juss]

To be fair, this is probably the year where it means sweet **** all to us anyway, as Balta or no Balta we're likely finishing bottom 2 next year. We also kick off with Carlton, Port, St Kilda, Brisbane. Carlton, Port and Brisbane are pretty much guaranteed losses anyway, St Kilda we could probably upset on a day, but I don't think I'd lose sleep over missing him for that 1 upset chance, and it's likely a loss anyway.

The years you don't want your key players missing is those when you're challenging for finals/top4/flags. This is pretty negligible for us tbh. Also lets either Trainor, Miller, Blight get extra development games and push their case for that 3rd tall spot as I assume Balta and Gibcus are our two main KPDs.

Not surprised considering shai got 3 once and he was the one clobbered , oh well opens up an opportunity for blight to put his stamp on a role in the side

Any less and AFL would stick their noses in and say try again

 

[JackNah_8]

Afl will be happy that balta received a suspension from the club

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Complete stupidity that the club would issue a games suspension prior to a court hearing. His lawyer would be pulling their hair out.

Wait until after the court hearing at the very least

scats kid bashed a female no ban

stengle od'd in a seedy nightclub and played the following game

balta protects his bro from a drunken yobbo looking for 5 mins of fame - 4 weeks

Business as usual at the CFL

 

[Lord of the Wings]

I'm not buying the 4 weeks = means he did something worse than we thought line just yet.

We are on a new era full of youngsters and this is the clubs first opportunity to set the bar and show it isn't acceptable.

Noah needs to learn from this

He's got 7 years at $1million+ to learn from it so doubt he is very worried. The halfwit that gave him that contract hopefully learns more

 

[DickieKnee]

Dane Swan did alot worse

Yeah didn't a bunch of Pies players bash the shit out of a security guard at Fed Square?

 

[Profop]

I’m in the camp that he must have done something pretty dumb for the club to drop a four week ban (plus the two preseason games) on him

I think the suggestion that we came down on him hard to send a message to the juniors is a bit of copium to be honest

Hopefully this is the worst of it

 

[Drunken Wookie]

itd be more of a punishment forcing him to play the first 4 rounds

 

[Drunken Wookie]

The club will continue to support him.. but here is a 4 week suspension Noah..
This club is now ****ed..
Tanking very early.

give us a nice early buffer on pick 1

 

[Lord of the Wings]

The new CEO already kissing the CFLs ass. Fat Ed would tell Dill and Laura to stuff off

 

[Sir_Loin]

Where’s the AFLPA on this? They’re usually pissing their pants over this sort of stuff to give them relevance

He agreed to the suspension, So i am sure he would have told the club what happened.
