Noah Balta charged with assault

[Tiger Khosh]

Looking forward to seeing if Yze has a spine  this week, or is simply a yes man.

Do you honestly think this was yze’s call. If the decision was made to delay baltas return for 1 week and counting due to pressures from the afl or outside noise then I’m sure that call was made by people higher up the chain then yze.

No, not all. it was overall the clubs call and they folded like a deck of cards. Yze is part of that.

balta plays if it was a final and dimma was the coach knowing what he thought of the establishment. I think he plays even if it was Yze.

Apples and oranges. Dimma had cache in decisions like this which you can only get by being a multi time premiership coach of 10+ years. Yze in his 2nd year just doesn’t have that sway and that’s got nothing to do with whether he has a spine or not.

fined in his 3rd year for abusing an umpire which probably was as a result of being cheated out of a win.

i dont agree, Dimma did have balls where the afl was concerned. He wouldnt stand for this rubbish.

only thing that would make sense is this. No one should have to accept having those scum bags follow them around every day of the week.

Actually agree with Hird here

I think what's been missed here (exception being TigerLand) is we have no idea what impact all of this especially the media pile on has had and is having on Noah's mental well being. Something that should be taken into consideration I reckon

Agreed and tbh Noah doesn't strike me as the type to take this sort of pressure very well

[Diocletian]

Strikes me as fairly laconic and not too bothered by much (unless of course you come at his family as is the case with most Slavic people )
