Noah Balta - Does he have the AFL's rarest skill set?

[juss]

I think you've already built your next dynasty team just quietly. It's looking like two spoons in as many years, with the very real possibility of a third in the not too distant future.

Death riding North for us to possibly have picks 1 and 2 this year....

On Balta, this is the year it probably means sweet **** all him getting suspended, as we're bottom 2 anyway and the games he'll miss we are big outsiders anyway.

Let's see where Ruchmond and Geelong are at in a few years.
You'll keep topping up with rejects and VFL legends whilst we continue to murder the draft.

Is “murder the draft” really the wording you should be going with here?

Another Marlion Pickett would be a steal

How much will the four week suspension of their longest-contracted player disrupt Richmond's 2025 campaign?

They might go from 0 wins to... 0 wins.

Killing the draft then.

Lol not like Pastry supporters to over-rate home and away wins.

May you have many, always. And keep choking finals as you have done through time immemorial.

 

[hawkman]

They might go from 0 wins to... 0 wins.

Their percentage may go from above 50 to now below 50

exactly.

Balta played 19 games last year and the output was the WOAT season for the club.

With a 7 year contract he is certainly part of the club's future, but clearly not a difference maker.

All that really matters right now is if, in the fullness of time, the 2024 and 2025 drafts turn out to be 'good' or 'super' drafts

(and how bad or good North is going to be this year)

Richmond has started tanking already and the season has not started, giving Bolta a 4 game holiday.

I've asked this question many times and can't get an answer: Why are Geelong supporters so obsessed and triggered by Richmond? Even after a wooden spoon year, likely to be repeated next year, the Tigers are still living rent free.

My theory is that Geelong supporters are still embarrassed and ashamed about their behavior in the 2017 Qualifying final, the most pea hearted and cowardly in Australian sporting history. They probably also feel angry that they're Richmond's finals bunnies. But I'm just guessing. Their all encompassing obsession is just very strange and comes across as quite petty and pathetic. There's nothing like it elsewhere in the country.

And yet YOU are the one talking about Geelong in a Noah Balta thread.

Deflection as always. Not surprising I spose. I'd be embarrassed and trying to deflect too if I were you.

You're not fooling anyone Grinny. 90% of your posts are about Geelong including wild conspiracy theories. You're now posting about Geelong in a thread about Noah Balta.

Why? How did you end up so absolutely mentally cooked?

Maybe enjoy the break, get outside a bit and try to stop getting angry about Geelong for a while?

Again with the deflection.
On reflection, perhaps asking the question assumes that Geelong supporters have enough courage to give an honest answer. Stupid assumption. Geelong has most cowardly supporters in our game.
