Neil Balme - Bring him back

[seven]

He had a pretty good career in SA afterwards though.

Very similar to David Cloke’s brother, Peter

So Dimma is the new Sheedy. He's going to stay at Richmond until he's 60 years old just replacing his assistants every 3 or 4 years.

As long as we keep chasing flags, what's to complain about?

I remember Peter Cloke as quite talented but had Royce to contend with as a CHF rival. Around the same time we had Glynn Hewitt, Lleytons dad, also talented but nobody could be compared to the Rolls Royce.

Who really knows? So many scenarios! Fly and Leppa going while they were on top and enhancing their future positions. Balme has done his job to perfection, now to move on. Comes a times when Hardwick, Peggy & Gale will leave, we must note that these three individuals have really accomplished their major tasks for Richmond, that is strong culture, strong performance, strong financial positions and winning premierships. Now before that go, work towards continued success (culture, football dept, future coach, finance, etc). Leppa, Fly & Balme have done their bit, however, Peggy, Gale and Hardwick needs more time to ensure we become the big powerhouse in the future. For those who have left, i say "for what you're done for Richmond, I salute you". GO TIGERS...GO RICHMOND GO.

Sure did, Craig played full back for us in ‘83 before moving to Norwood (where Neil was coaching) and had a long career with them.

lol

We all love Balmy, but what has his actual role been lately?

We all love Balmy, but what has his actual role been lately?

Exactly. Part of his role was to mentor and elevate Tim Livingstone and Blair Hartley and he has officially just been a consultant in recent times
There is no announcement from the club as yet. It is quite a strange situation.

So the skies not falling and its not the end of the RFC as we have known it?

Rather than the chicken manure scandal all those ages ago can we order a carton of vanilla slices to Punt Rd Attention Sensai Guru?
(if this is true!)

Which part - the staying or going??

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

So Adelaide doesn't want him to run their footy department and haven't defined a role for him yet. In other words, they just want to take him out of Richmond.

*smile* off Crows.
