Richmond star Noah Balta will be sidelined for four crucial AFL matches and two pre-season games after being charged with assault.

As part of his punishment, Balta will also undertake education programs and counselling to address his behaviour. This shock suspension will undoubtedly impact the Tigers' season, with fans and pundits eagerly awaiting Balta's return to the field.
