He was arrested too?
And if he is charged it suggests the police have enough evidence for a magistrate to consider.

Being charged by the police is really nothing more than the police believing that the case is strong enough to be convicted. Also the one that isn't in hospital is usually always the one that gets charged despite the circumstances that lead to it.
That said, self defence is an affirmative defence (if that is how they go) so at least we will be getting some details about it. I am surprised the AFL haven't done anything yet. Maybe because of the speed of the incident to the charge but it seems that they already had Thomas suspended before the police charge (may be misremembering).

AFL haven’t done anything yet because half of them would still be on holidays.
If it was in season it would of already be dealt with.
Guy reports to hospital with a cut to the head. Balta hands himself to police to avoid a possible shit storm considering his identity. Gets charged with assault. That’s all the evidence they need. It will be a fine a possible good behaviour and no conviction recorded. AFL will dick swing and make the penalty more severe because that’s their prerogative

True, I guess the back of the women's head they cheat on their wives with in some tropical paradise don't get any up to date news.

Yeah they would be real pros and use the cheap 60 buck dumb phones so that their google timeline doesnt appear.
They could teach a seminar.
Never been to the Southern 80?

4 games is a pretty strong message to the playing group.
I imagine that shaves a bit off his pay too.

Should have banned him for life. Thuggery is not warranted.

4 games for protecting vulnerable members of the community, what a junk club Richmond is.
Filthy.
Filthy.
Watch how many other Richmond players go out and get charged with assault once they learn they can miss playing games for this club

Balta obviously being one of them himself.
Tigers obviously tanking by booting their best player out for 4 matches. Had very winnable games against Carlton, Port, Saints and Freo. Not so much now.

Maybe we can get Noah to take a few of the young Kangas boys out for a few bevvies. Picks 1 & 2 incoming
I just hope Noah's defense in court is better than on the field, or he could get life without parole.

Crazy they'd suspend him right before he receives his OAM for protecting the nation

How do we blame Hocking for Richmond handing out a four match suspension? Are the Richmond leadership group part of the CFL?
