Geez were quick to put people to the sword. This guys head has to be still spinning after his off season indiscretion. He’s in one week and sitting at home the next. Hopefully he can clear his head in the off season and get back to playing some competitive footy.

The curfew has well and truly stuffed him IMO.

Came back before sentencing, played a great game, been ordinary ever since.

Being in and out all the time would be shocking.

No we aren’t. He is a senior player who took a big money deal. His curfew is his own fault.

Where he plays best but can only do it in short bursts - the problem is what to do with him for the rest of the time. :shh :shh

MATCH REVIEW: Tiger cops huge fine

AFL.com.au
6 July 2025


RICHMOND'S Noah Balta has copped a $10,000 fine but escaped a ban for his heavy hit on Geelong's Tom Stewart, while Port Adelaide's Hugh Jackson has also been cited for kneeing.

Elsewhere, Tigers defender Nick Vlastuin has also escaped sanction for an incident with Cats star Patrick Dangerfield.

Balta has been cited for forceful front-on contact in the third quarter on Saturday, but the incident was graded low impact, meaning the tall Tiger has been fined but not banned.

Given it was Balta's third offence, the fine is $10,000, which can be reduced to $6250 with an early guilty plea.

It's the new contract.

Evidence clearly suggests that earning a higher wage just makes you spend more of your money anyway, so the improvement to quality of life with higher income tapers off dramatically after $90k/year :D

Clearly Balta just wants to stay middle class.
