News Neil Balme - Appointed GM of Football

[Mr Magic]

Malthouse recently did a segment with Rex Hunt where he mentioned that after he retired the Richmond board approached him to coach the senior team then withdrew the offer a few days later because they felt that appointing a coach just after playing was too much of a risk as they had just got rid of Francis Bourke after he went from playing straight into coaching. They then offered him the reserves coaching job and again after a couple of days withdrew that offer because they felt he was too ambitious and didn't want the senior coach looking over his shoulder. Wow.

Dickheads in politics scared of the shadows!!

Who's headed to brissy?

 

[duzzy]

Who's headed to brissy?

probably balmey- but lynch also mentioned fagan and noble as good possibilities-

 

[Dr Tigris]

Good fit to Richmond.
Dan Richardson has done a great job on contracts, but not a great job on the football side. We know Balme can manage the football operations. Just do it.

 

[Groupie_]

no chance dan goes

if balme comes it wont be to replace him

Nothing wrong with that. Move Dan into a full time salary cap managment/assistant head of football position.

 

[Tiges1229]

don't want to de stabilise the club getting rid of Dan lol

 

[Hans McGregor]

We're interested and making a play apparently.

 

[tunksy]

Make a play and get it done. Step up to the plate

 

[duzzy]

As long as the play isn't a pantomime-

Will be Dan's PA. Needs to learn the ropes from the big man himself

FFS on to target no.2 then!! Groupie_ make sure you tie the gag extra tight next time.

 

[jreesosb]

It might take more than that - Ty Vickery come on down!
