He moved to us because the Pies shafted him. He just looks happy at Punt Road. I'd be shocked if he took another role after finishing with us. But if Adelaide can lure him across, good luck to them, they must be offering him a ******* fortune


Yep they shafted him for Grubby

Love the Big Balmey, still remember him kicking goals at the PRE in the 70’s, was a bollicking FF.
He was at the 2016 AGM not long after rejoining the club and it was a bloody long night that one. Well as I was leaving and walking through the car park he was hopping into his Jeep (correct one because he had it open) and as I walked past I wanted to say welcome home but I thought, nah leave the man alone. Anyway as I was passing we caught each other’s eyes and he must have seen the welcome home thought crossing my mind because he sort of acknowledged it by a smile and a tilt of the head.
Maybe it was my imagination but I swear he could see the look of welcome home Balmey. I knew he was the missing key for us.

Think Balmey said once that the RFC was his last stop and would be done with footy after he finishes at the RFC.

A poetic type of full circle for his AFL time.

Started at the RFC as a player, finishes as Boss of footy at the RFC, and helps to set the club up medium term on field.

Balmey wont be going to the Crows imo.

Started his VFL/AFL career at the Tiges during a golden era at the club, will finish his AFL career at the Tiges during another golden era.

Balme in mix for Adelaide role

They’ve identified a WISH list and he’s on it ? Balmey history was that he was notoriously difficult to move from his key role at the cats and only came our way ex pies with gubby Allan effectively ambushing his role. Would be out of step for him to up and leave Melbourne

There is absolutely no reason why Balmey would want to move

He has enough $$$$ and doesnt need to deal with that Rabble


maybe they want him to sing the Tiger theme song to them

Which version?
The “risking head & skin” from 73/74

Or

“Risking head & shin” from 17/19.

This one.

pornographic finale rowing action.

I think we The Tiger Army should adopt

this slow penetrating rowing action during 'Ti-Ger-Land' en masse.

after grand final victories over 45 points.
