Why does the Melbourne media love Neil Balme?

[Royce Hafey]

Didn't care in the slightest really.
Seeing him loitering around another teams interchange bench and giving false injury reports would have been the least important change in history to me.

An so you made a thread about it.

I think the club mascots should sit in the box during play.

 

[captain blood 17]

I think Balme should leave a steaming grogon on the steps of Victoria Park Friday morning.

And all the while, nobody knows what it is he actually does.

Neil Balme IS.

If the media don't love him, he'll take them out behind the play (off camera, that is)

 

[Balls In]

Yeah Balme sucks. Send him to Adelaide as punishment.

Whatever his failings, doesnt deserve that.

 

[its free real estate]

except Melbourne

He did get Melbourne to a prelim in 1994, from seventh. Obviously his overall record wasn’t great, but that’s a somewhat impressive finals record.

Good to see supporters of other teams can understand my point, that lying to your own supporters achieves nothing.
Richmond supporters.....good grief.

Maybe you should read the thread again. Not many agree with you.

Maybe it’s time you stepped away from the innerwebz for a while.

The only thing he is lying about is his secret love for a monte carlo

Has he denied his love for them? If not, apologise for false accusations.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Honestly, the man is a total buffoon. Spent two days mocking reporters and saying there was nothing wrong with Dustin Martin, only for the coach to admit he is suffering from a badly corked thigh.
Yet today i see no mention of Balmes lies.
After his career as a thug player, failed coach and now glorified dressing room doorman ( I've actually seen him performing this role ), i just don't understand the medias love affair with him.

Because not Everyone loves Raymond.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

what did he do wrong exactly?

He ate raymond35 's packet of Monte Carlos.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Because the bloke doesn't have two Brain Cells to rub together..and you never know whats going to come out of the morons Mouth

Anyone got footage of him I think from his Geelong days where they were interviewing Ablett or someone in the changerooms and he walks out of the toilet, realised he’s on camera and then sheepishly walks away

I prefer the time he was being stalked by reporters in the car park and he got into the wrong car...

Straight swap for Brett Burton makes it a fair deal.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Well he's a bit of a fat moron, so the Melbourne media embrace him as one of their own

"Collective Balmes"-

Why are you talking about Walrus Maclure? This thread is about Balme.

 

[MosquitoBrigade]

so he didn't appease some journos who were having a slow news week with the truth...who gives a ****?

I would have just told the dumb s**t journo's to * off. They deserve it asking the same question repeatedly.
Neil seems like a great bloke.

Do you even know what a Balme is?

 

[Heisenberg_]

Yet he’s infinite times more competent at his job then anybody currently in Carlton’s football department, hate to see your ratings of them

Have Collingwood come out with a detailed report of DeGoey's injury?
