Is this about the soft cap?

 

[JackNah_8]

That's sad, I thought he would retire at Richmond

 

[tony__montana]

damn..

Is this about the soft cap?

Was meant to be going back a few years ago but had some health concerns that derailed those plans

Was always on the cards and not soft cap related I’m pretty sure

Hasn’t had a majority active role for us for the past season or so either

FMD I thought he was going to retire after finishing with us

[HumanMeatball]

She’ll be right. Put the foundations In place so get some good new faces in and see how we go

 

[Tiger V]

[Spluff]

Although it’s upsetting we really can’t complain or expect more from Balme, he served the club as well as anybody could wish for.

I heard it was family related or something along those lines

 

[_RT_]

He came, he saw, he delivered.

Has taken a bit of a step back the last couple of years to let others come through and develop in his role.

Thanks for everything Balmey

Great get for crows. We've had the succession plan in place for a while now so it's not going to be a disaster. Should open up a fair chunk of the soft cap anyway.

 

[sante]

He’s taken a back seat last year or so anyway. He did his job

 

[SunshineBoy]

Get leppa into his job, although he has said he ain’t going back to Richmond, unless we get a strong personality in there we are ****ed

Newy recommitted to the Hawks during the week

Why?
He didn’t even really have an official role for the past 2 years
Just a sr advisor
His position won’t be filled

Leppitsch would be a great addition in an administrative role if he's still keen to get out of coaching.

Guys been great, hopefully Adelaide is paying him so much he can buy a farm.
