Richmond's Noah Balta Arrested After Pub Altercation

Richmond defender Noah Balta has been arrested and charged with assault following an incident at a northern Victoria pub. The altercation comes at a difficult time for the Tigers, whose tumultuous season has been further marred by off-field drama.

Balta's run-in with the law follows an earlier confrontation this week involving his teammates at a Melbourne pub, who were spotted with Demon’s bad boy, Steven May, when a fight reportedly broke out. The off-field turbulence is a tough blow for Richmond, who struggled during season 2023, under first-year coach Adem Yze.

In a twist of fate, Yze, prior to taking the reins at Richmond, worked as an assistant coach at Melbourne, under current head coach Simon Goodwin. It's a connection that has drawn some attention in light of recent events, as sources close to the situation claim both Goodwin and May were seen at the Sorrento pub following the earlier incident involving both the Tigers and Demons superstars. 

Melbourne Football Club has opted not to comment on the matter.

Reckon Yze might have a slander case to pursue here.

I think it's a parody. I hope it is.

Sounds like there's nothing in this one, but if the club had the choice of Steven May being out at 2am and Steven May not being out at 2am, they'd arguably take the latter given his history.

A fit and injury free S May will have a massive say on whether we bounce back or remain stalled at the 12th to 14th part of the ladder.

Then again, while playing in the back pocket, you got sucked in by your man, forward pocket resting rover Mick Bone, by following him to your forward line, when he went kick chasing, thereby allowing you to mark a miskick and kick the winning goal for us in the 1964 GF.

Where's Vagg? He kicked a goal eventually...

So another article in the Sun 30 minutes ago, headlining May and Prestia, but stating they weren’t involved in any incident, well below the headline, in the middle of the article.

It does say a former high profile AFL player was involved though.

I’m guessing that Caroline Wilson is sharpening her pen in preparation for a long running series exposing the cultural issues affecting the Richmond Football Club. 

Could win her a Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism.

Three players at a bar. There is a fight between some drunk. Players at bar + random bar fight = something happened.

You do me a great injustice Red. I didn’t get sucked in by Boney, I was simply the inventor of what later became known as the “forward press”. Smithy hated the idea when I outlined it to him, and refused to use it. Given the late final quarter circumstances, I thought I’d show him the benefits of such a move. The rest is history. Well before my time I was.

Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar.  You can't tell me that's just a coincidence.

A peanut walks into a bar and gets a salted!! Nothing to see here!

Thanks for that clarification.
