Part of Richmond’s dangerous ‘mosquito fleet’, Castagna’s forward pressure has been a strength, and in 2018 he recorded the second-most inside-50 tackles at the Club.
19-year-old Balta has made an immediate impact since his debut in Round 1 this season with his aerial strength and athleticism.
A second year player, Balta is still discovering his most suited position on-field, however the athletic tall has the versatility to play all over the ground.
