Neil Balme - Bring him back

[dimmauchamp]

Balme roll at the club was how can I put it ‘topping up his pension’. He was no longer involved in football operations after the restructure of rolls with Livingstone. Whilst you never like to lose good people I doubt he had much influence of late.

That might have been the case this year as he was hardly sighted. During our dominating years Balme was always a show. I hope the club havent purposely pushed him aside.

Heaps of assistants available but not many quality tactical assistants, we still haven't replaced Caracalla, Lepitch and McRae and it hurt us this year.

Yep, Coopers is the staple up there. Was there ever a boycott after it came out Coopers were against gay marriage?

I started a boycott,

but it was because its sludgey and flat and always fails to refresh.

 

[jokershoppe]

Need to get a grip, quality people will replace positions with new quality,
Nothing to worry about,Tigers move on most that are not top shelf.

 

[Fighting Fury]

um no, he is a Western Australian

I meant played at Norwood

Didn’t happen this year and the results show.

You know things are shitthouse in Victoria when peeps are leaving to go to SA.

Weve got no top shelf left have we?

I assume he has signed with crows for the 2023 season as he won't be able to get there by the start of the 2022 season.

He was in the new role last year, hence he couldn't go to the hub.

 

[tigers80]

At least we aren’t Carlton.

I must say, I drank my share of it when I lived there.

The loss of Caracella has been huge I reckon. Yes we won the flag without him but there was minimal change to the way we played last year. This season the stand rule seems to have befuddled our coaching group, meanwhile Essendon are playing the best footy they have in many years and the stand rule doesn't appear to be an issue for them.

I have absolute faith in Dimmas man management ability, not so much in his tactical nouse.

End of 2019 we made some changes to our structure with Balme

Tigers make structural changes to football department

Richmond football department staff Tim Livingstone and Blair Hartley have been promoted to senior management roles under structural changes announced by the Club today.

My biggest concern is that clubs that Balmey leaves usually drop hard. Could just be a coincidence but has happened at Pies and Cats

Someone at the crows said it was a rumour, but they would like him at the club.
Reading between the lines I say they are in talks still. But it’s going to happen.

 

[TygerTyger]

Yeah
Nothing better then a ice coffee in Norwood.
A beer in Hanodorf
And a Sov in Hinley street.

Or a fritz sandwich, while sipping a butcher

 

[TT33]

Lets cut to the chase he left because he is South Australian.
He would've got a *smile* load more to move and Adelaide is a retirement village

He's actually West Australian, originally from Subiaco.

Very awkward situation that his talks have leaked to the media before the club could come out with an announcement and take control of the situation.
The fact the club hasn’t made an official announcement says to me he hasn’t signed yet which is a bit of a PR disaster for us with all this speculation.
Fans and sponsors get nervous/ jittery when things don’t look in control.

 

[Scoop]

Go well Hemingway, at his age, that last chased pay cheque is totally justified.

Thank you for everything.

Who says it’s us doing the leaking?

???
Didn’t say it’s us.
That would be something we did in the 90s.
