He seems like a jovial fellow and I'm sure isn't a bad bloke to talk to, but the way he gets credited witn various clubs success over the years is a joke.

Hes playing isnt he? Thats what he means by theres nothing wrong with him.
No player would be actually 100% at this time of the year, nothing wrong with him just means hes right to play. Try to keep up.

Balme is an elite football manager and miles away from being a buffoon. His results attest to to that.
He is also an elite manager of handling the media - that doesn't mean they like him - it just means he knows how to use and manipulate them.
I wouldn't say he's liked in media circles as he is known to be loose with the truth and is also known to have delivered some of the all time great sprays to journos behind closed doors. He can be an obstinate, stubborn, arrogant so-and-so one minute and then cracking jokes the next.
The reason why they don't call him out on his falsehoods is partly because many are afraid of him.

ROAR!!!
Hopefully Neil remains the door opener and coat man at RFC for years to come.
Yep. Not over it and its not like he betrayed them - they replaced him with gubby. Lol maybe they should direct their anger towards him
I doubt the club he supports holds any relevance at all
By the way whet ever happened to good ole Gubby...... ithanks for this one Ed - Balme was always going to come home one day and judging from his comments he is glad he did.

He only got to Richmond because of "focus on footy."
That's what the esteemed Doctor Martin Hiscock tells me anyway.

I’m happy for him. Nothing in life is more valuable than self-satisfaction and a sense of feeling at home.
The media love him because when they use his photo it fills half a page.

you work it out

The church of football,Richmond.
Corkie, ie, nothing that matters considering he'll play. Let's start a topic about Balme, using every expletive under the sun.

...in the context of missing a game.
He’s sore from a cork.....not exactly earth shattering, considering we said that before some mouth breather decided to blatantly lie and state he has a knee injury.
The fear, I can smell it.

If he claims a player is out with a 'two week injury', put a line through them for the rest of the year.

What/who is the medias?
Malthouse's best coaching at Collingwood ('02 '03 in my opinion) came with Balme beside him.
Bomber Thompson's best coaching at Geelong came with Balme there.
Hardwick's best coaching came when Balme joined.
If it's just a coincidence then it's a pretty lucky one to happen 3 times in a row.
Balme tells the media only what he wants to tell the media but doesn't cop grief from them because he's well liked and mostly polite about it. That's a perfect way to handle the footy media.
Every team would love a footy manager who empowers and supports their coach, keeps it simple, signs the players that need to be signed and handles the media.
