You think the scapegoat will be Miller?

And no way should he be dropped

No, I was thinking "The Forgotten Man" Kosi would be given the boot for Balta

Plating Balta for the sake of it will hurt structural his no forward

For god sake give yourself an upper cut if you want to play kosi ahead of balta

I f***ing love this club”

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

That's not in dispute but right now, this season he is nowhere near his best

His worst footy is panels above Kosi’s best footy.
It’s not even a discussion let alone a debate

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.

In the Mix - Round 20

Sarah Black
afl.com.au
24 July 2025


Noah Balta is available for the rest of the season, having now served his court-ordered curfew for an assault conviction, with Jacob Koschitzke the most likely to give way. Campbell will come out of the side after his head was collected by Tim Taranto’s hip, opening the door for the return of Jasper Alger or Steely Green, who booted three in the last official VFL match. Alger (ankle) played in a VFL scratch match on the weekend, as did draftee Harry Armstrong (hamstring), who is available this week. Sam Lalor has undergone hamstring surgery and is expected to start pre-season on time in November.

You reckon he'll get dropped for Balta?

I mean he's not going to the VFL this week.

If you're talking trade...heck we'd be mad to unless he's a steak knife for Reid.

I'd rest Trainor and bring Balta in.
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do

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