14th Feb – Adelaide announce Balme
15th Feb – Balme "Don't do the power stance again"
16th Feb – Balme returns home $200k richer
 
At 73 you'd think he'd be ready to retire, but good on him. I guess he just really loves football, the job is a piece of p**s for him to do and he just makes some nice extra coin to hand down to the kids and grandkids.
73 what a year, made up for 72. My first granny.

It looks like Balme's on the board. I think Sheedy gets/got $100K for his Board duties at EFC.

Kudos to Gale for bringing him back to the club. Gale pushes him sideways and out.

The age had that article the cafe sacking. Balme was on Front Bar, months later, not bitter. Balme was at every Qld game Member functions.

That’s the biggest crime from this, fortunately I won’t have to live through the next 37 years

Hartley and Livingstone were doing all the work while Balmey was there. This had been going on for years before he stepped aside officially. You reckon Balmey was in charge of list management? Was he running match committee? Was he doing kpis for all the coaches, hiring and firing?
He was a fantastic, calming influence and dealt with a lot of the media crap but that’s about it.
 
He can teach them how to sing our theme song and how to punch out Carlton forwards in a grand final. Except, of course, that the likelihood of Carlton or Adelaide being in a grand final is close to zero.
 
How ironic Crows a flying one of the flag favourites and Nicks looks to have improved. Not saying it's due to Balmey only , but success follows him. I never understood the decision to move him on when he said he wanted to stay regardless of the health issues even in a lesser role or part time. His experiences and expertise in the era we're in now could have been crucial.
 
Maybe they won't, but they are the form side going into September and for me the most even side with that very good forward line.
if the gf wasnt played at the G id have them favourites too

colonwood are going to get absolutely throated again by the umps come september just like 2023
 
is daniel jackson still at the crows too ?
