Neil Balme - Bring him back
- Thread starter realtiger
- Start date
True, but with Balme I think it's more about affordability. They are cheaper in Adelaide and at the rate he consumes them the cost makes a big difference
Surely RFC could get a vanilla slice sponsor for Balme. There would be sufficient space on his shirts for a few advertisers to stitch their names.
With the AFL being the way it is, the retail cost would be subtracted from our softcap. We're already down 100k, not sure we can afford another 150k reduction on top of that
Will be surprised if Balmey goes to another club especially interstate considering from face value he's essentially a consultant at the club now. The way i read Caesar's article link from late last year is Livingston and Hartley are the heir(s) apparent (probably Livingston taking over the top job) and therefore given more senior roles this year.
It seems this year has been a baptism of fire for these two given the hub experience without Balme present and it clearly has been demonstrated they still have a lot of learning to do. Not happy Balme appears to be either leaving or retiring very soon but I can't see him working forever.

Yeah but in Adelaide they won’t be called vanilla slices so you don’t know what you are going to get.
They will be called Vanilla Fritz’s or Vanilla Pastey’s or something odd like that, because, *smile*, they are “Free Settlers“ you know!
Our local bakery makes great vanilla slices, the custard is so light, fantastic for the taste buds but not the bod.
Anyway the bakery is called Gusto’s, I will hit them up to sponsor Balmey with an XXXL T for ol’ No 21 with a slogan of:
“Gusto’s Vanilla Slices built this body”
What you reckon he’s broke , I think he’d have plenty in the can being 68 and working at elite level last 30y . I don’t think money would be a deciding factor in this , sounds Li,ke a mammoth job to take on in the shadows of retirement
Should have said, plenty of $ and the prospect of building the club up.
Hasn’t he spent time in Adelaide , coached , from Adelaide??
Of course he doesn’t need $.
Maybe one last challenge before that’s it.
Like many of us have said and I will say it again, I would be down if he left because I thought he would finish with the Tigers ...
Could tempt Balme with the thought of pie floaters on every corner mmmmmmm
Thinking about a Vanilla Floater in a bowl of what? Cream?
How is it that pie floaters are so good and Sargents pies are the worst in Australia.
What were those deep fried delights in Qld? Bacon bars?
Almost as good as Melbourne souvlakis.
Must go cook dinner.
I would like the Subiaco superman to stay in some capacity. Keep the connection to the club and provide some wise counsel when required. A part time role could be win/win.
Used to coach Norwood, also married to an SA lady I think.
Crows are going hard for him.
Have heard plenty about him going to Crows.
Ricciuto alludded to "some excellent news in the off season" recently.
A pie with sauce floating in a bowl of boiled pea snot. Forty seven years after first seeing one, even the mere thought of consuming such a delicacy still gives me the horrors.
