Roast Neil Balme

[catman 71]

I am not knocking Neil Balme as a footy manager, but why does he go on SEN? He offers nothing of note, and is too evasive. He is wasting both his and the club's time by even going on "Hunger For Sport".

Neil, when you go on a radio show, you are partly talking to your club's supporters. We need to know when a player is returning, or when they will be back from injury. We don't need the games Balme plays, like being honest will give other teams an advantage over Geelong. For heaven's sake, you are not revealing the team's gameplan, you are informing when player X comes back from his injury. He needs to stop being such a douche about it.

I know that KB shows Balme no respect, (personally, if it were me getting that disrespect from Kevin, I would pay out and tell him how he isn't as good as he thinks he is, and a few other choice things (how he walked out on Richmond etc) and then would deck the bloke. However, if Balme isn't going to get respected, and he acts like he doesn't want to be there, he should pass on doing the spot, and either let someone else from Geelong, who is a bit more upfront, or someone else from another club, or have KB and DC just jerk off by themselves.

Balme, how about just giving us information in the newsletters and e-mails and stay away from the media. You don't cut it going on the radio.

Grumpy 71 got upon the wrong side of bed again
Are you one of those old geezers that writes to newspapers each week whinging about something ?

 

[Beanstalk]

He's got 71 problems but too many quality posts aint one.

This needs more than just a like, gold Gysenn, pure gold.

 

[jim boy]

Not sure what this has got to do with the club, hi isn't doing the slot to represent Geelong and is quite open about not giving away anything. KB plays up to this quite a bit and winds him up, but ultimately he is just a special comments man like DC.

SEN has a listener during Summer?

I'm guess that Balmy is hedging is bets for a career after his current one.
Lot easier to get a media gig from having one than from the outside.

And he clearly is a graduate from the Bill Billicheck school of media information.

Go Catters

And you think "decking" somebody will gain you respect???

Gotta admit - listening to After the Game when the Pies lose is hilarious listening while you're waiting for the dog to take one last shit before bedtime.

 

[speedybundy]

Most valid point in here is about KB, belongs in the dementia ward at a retirement home

 

[manboob]

FFS this again!

 

[AM]

Anyone who relies on SEN for accurate information about anything needs counselling. Urgently!

We don't want him

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

That's his style, get over it. Just like your style is whinging it seems...

 

[James1970]

what's with Bartlett anyways? Does he have a dislike with all his old teammates or something?

Balme refused to share his bag of potatoe cakes one night after training - KB really knows how to hold a grudge.

 

[vinum coupe]

I really like listening to Bartlett.
Hated him as a player though. Mainly because he ripped us a new one.

 

[Vdubs]

Don't get to listen to these guys, but Balme has been awesome for our Club, and that really is all that counts.

 

[Vdubs]

he ripped most teams a new one didn't he?

The best ever of that type of player?
Maybe Hodgepodge will dispute that. And perhaps justifiably.
Anyway, consistently brilliant as a FP rover, and very good as a pure rover.

 

[vinum coupe]

He was an incredible footballer bobby.
So bloody slippery. He just knew where the footy was going before anyone else did.

While we are on the football department, I see we have lost Ronnie Watt to the Coaches Association. Not ideal timing.

I blame Balme and the Medicos for this too

No. My many fans here hang out for my pearls of wisdom on a weekly basis, and I mustn't disappoint them.
