2019 JLT SERIES RESULTS

[quinny88]

Balta was great and apparently has been all pre season but it's hard to see where he gets in. Can play a lot of positions but assuming if he breaks into the side it will be as a forward and 2nd ruck.

HF: Caddy, Riewoldt, Edwards
FF: Rioli, Lynch, Higgins

Lambert, Dusty, Butler, Castagna the others to spend time there.

If he performs like that in JLT 2 he will have to force his way in but it's going to mean Richmond changing a lot about what's worked so well for them for 2 years

That is happening anyways with lynch ... but yes I understand your point

Utility bench spot

Yeah that's what I mean. Lynch is already shaking it up so having another big guy would be a huge change.

Like I said though, he can't be ignored if he plays like that again next week. I just worry that he could be in 1 week and out the next depending on who we play etc

Balta has the potential to play midfield too, that's the beauty of having him in the side. Had 3 clearances today which was the equal of Dusty & Cotch. The versatility he brings will be invaluable, particularly with the new ruck rules allowing players to just grab the ball from the throw-ins. Would be very surprised if he gets dropped as I cannot see Grigg ever rucking for Richmond again. I wouldn't be too preoccupied with height, that to me is a bonus, he's quick over the turf & good at ground level.

Cotch and Dusty only played till 3QT but yes you're right, Balta is definitely versatile and can play a number of roles. Will be interesting to see how he goes next week and what Dimma has to say about him

JLT 1 - 85min
JLT 2 - 62min

No injury that I’m aware of. I’d imagine they’ve seen enough and are just managaung a young player who spent the majority of his first year hampered by injury.

Was hoping Matt wouldn't pick up any more owners than he already had. Wishful thinking clearly  ::)
