Changes for next week against the Pies?

[Andyy]

Apparently blight is one day off a contract extension ..

I reckon he'll get it by negotiation, but not at the expense of a game from Miller or Young at this stage.

I was thinking the kosi spot but balta looks the obvious option

[Tiger Khosh]

I'd rest Trainor and bring Balta in.

Yeah he had a super quiet game. I was wondering if he got injured?

Notice he’s been playing on the wing as of late. No spot for him on defence with miller, young, broad, vlas, short, banks I guess.

I saw him tagging Reid also before half time

Laughable how quickly some forget how good Balta is.

Absolute gun at his best is what he is.

Kosi is a dud. Should never play again

Balta is at his best when he is in a well organised well drilled defence with leaders around him. I don’t believe he can lead a defence or be the best player in a back 6.

 

Make him a Ruck and give him basic instructions written in crayon with stick figure simplicity so he understands the role. He can use his athleticism to make a difference around the ground. 

He ain't got the footy smarts for key forward or key defender. Like mostly all ruckman it's ok to be a dumb dumb.

I think he will excel as the athletic ruckman that can get away with doing something stupid every game because he has midfielders that can cover the stupidity and mitigate any potential damage.

Meanwhile he can take that crucial grab down the line and roost it 60 metres into the forward half.
It just makes sense because hes got the athletic strengths to make it work for us.

He can eventually become first Ruck and we can develop another kid like Sims.

Unlikely he is any worse than kosi as a forward. ..

Armstrong and Sims are good prospects but in reality he has them covered too for some time and Lynch is cooked.

Trainor has being playing as a wing. Doubt balta would be any worse short term.
