BALTA!!!!!

[Tiger Khosh]

Would you bring in balta for chol this week? Not because chol is underperforming but rather to give balta a taste of senior football again considering he hasn’t played any for a while. Then you make a choice between the 2 for week 1 of the finals.

I wouldn’t play Balta this week because their second ruck is a giant. Chol would be more competitive IMHO.

[Andyy]

Balta on the wing maybe

Balta on the wing maybe

Wanna see Balta run through Robinson

I wonder if  things are complicated with our VFL side having the bye?

Barrett's comment from his 'Sliding Doors' column:


IF ... I was in charge of team selection for the match against Brisbane ...

THEN ... I wouldn't be risking Cotch, who has already missed 11 matches this year with hamstring problems, before the first week of finals.

Dimma said Cotch is a certain starter while he expects Grimesy to play.
