Balta will be fine imo

Gotta prove a bit more this week though.

Yeah Balta was OK in real life. Only got 50% game time, his job was to provide a target when Lynch was benched, and relieve Nank in the ruck, both of which he did well, and kicked a goal.

He was looking like a genius pick at quarter time!

I think he still has excellent scoring potential, he just needs to settle into a role in the team.

I might go Petrucelle over Parker tbh

Having Parker as a slow burn downgrade/correction option a few rounds in might be handy

Not even a contest between the 2 imo. Ya just know the Ferrari is gonna hit the scoreboard this weekend. 3+ goals coming up. Watch.

Someone will have to when JJK and Darling get shut down

This man knows

That’s hilarious

I think SL and GL are referring to when JJK and Darling have sat down after they have 10 goals between them ... probably half way through the 3 term

Such a typical bias WCE supporter response, honestly.

If your mob get within 10 goals then you should be very very proud of your team.

@eaglesman still not sighted since this post. Hope he's ok!

In fairness Lions only got within 44 points of the eagles so if the call was they wont get within 7 goals then it would have been correct.

@SL and GL - all of us WCE have a severe bout of food poisoning at the moment - that is the problem with eating crow  ::)

From Hardwick’s press conference:
With Rance ruled out after rupturing his ACL in the Tigers’ win over Carlton, swingman Noah Balta may be considered to hold down his key position slot.

Balta booted a goal against the Blues in his debut, but may be shifted back, where he performed strongly during the VFL in 2018, with fellow defender Ryan Garthwaite unlikely to be considered.

“He played really well down back in our VFL side, so once again it’s about whether we throw him in the deep end or do we take a little bit of time to look at him and explore that option,” Hardwick said.

“Physically speaking he’s as close to Alex as we’ve got, he’s incredibly athletic but we’ve got a number of other players that can play that role we feel.

“These are all decisions that we’ll take in selection this afternoon.”

I don't want to get ahead of myself, but Rance has averaged above 80 (and three times 90+) for the last 8 years. Balta will, therefore, average 80+ from here on. Definitely going to play him on the field every week.

[js19]

Sounds to me he’s rather not pick him really, but not many options...

Nah he literally said that they have a number of players who can play the role. So they do have options.
If Balta gets the nod and plays well he'll stay.

Lol. While I think Rance is a bit overrated, he's miles ahead of Balta. Wishful thinking but I hope you're right.

Balta > Rance

Well Balta is out...

Should I swap to Parker now or give it a week?

I would hold and see how Parker goes against Essendon.

Parker looks to have decent JS. Balta would be long odds to get another game.

I'd consider making the trade. I probably will.

Reckon I might do it now

Means I still have 2 trades next week, and even though I know Parker won't score like last week often he has zero JS issues
