How’s he a moron?aww it's cute that you flogs are attempting to defend a moron
I've just had a quick skim through the thread and there seems to be a heap of responses, from Richmond and Non-Richmond (including Interstate) supporters, answering your question. Your counter to all these is you don't like the wording he used.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.

Gonna throw it out there, seeing as it's bloody obvious to everyone else, but it seems more like you're the problem here. A bigger person would admit they were wrong and walk away with their tail between their legs. I look forward to your continued denial.
Show me where I'm defending sos?aww it's cute that you flogs are attempting to defend a moron
Did you even listen to the interview? Or are you the same as the other bloke and you're getting so upset at a single sentence from an employee of an opposition club that you're completely ignoring all the responses to the question this thread is actually asking?Well, saying "There's nothing wrong with him!" is not the same as "He's carrying/recovering from an injury, but will still play", either. The former does express a "Why are you even asking me this?!" level of arrogance and contempt for the enquiry, while the latter acknowledges the truth (that an injury is being recovered from) and the message the club wants to get across as well (that Martin will play regardless).
Understand the query now?
The strangest thing is the media then sook it up because Hawthorn and to a lesser extent Richmond didn't have open media sessions when Melbourne and Collingwood did. Yet most of the articles they write based on the media sessions aren't more than space fillers. They did write a number of excellent profiles of Melbourne players last week, but the media even know they won't be read nearly as much as the latest trade fantasy fiction articles.
Sadly we don't seem to have the market nor the talent for just one great journo who can deliver game wide analysis pieces. A 'Zach Lowe' for those who follow the NBA.

What does it matter?His exact words - "there's nothing wrong with him"

Are you trolling or are you always this embarrassing?
Trade stories rate bigger than profiles though and both far more than any team or game analysis, that's what I've been told. Is that correct? Reading about a player's personal life gets some people interested, reading about player x being traded gets even more interest whether it's a rumour or a source. That's the sad thing.Can tell you mate, I work in as newsroom and we keep constant stats on how stories do and are received, which is very easy to keep tabs on. I can go into work tomorrow and basically discover how many people read a story online, how long they had the page open for and even where it was read from.
I tell you without a word of a lie, those profile stories you referred to would have had significant more reach than a generic story on club A or B. I see it daily - team-oriented stuff does not rate as high as stories in individual personalities. People still like a good, long read!
Media sessions are junk time.

Just wondering, why fo you have a pic of Gramsci as your DP?He can sing the Tigers song to your players on the bus to their next camp.
Because everywhere he goes results follow.
Because he's one of my heroes and his quote (in my sig.) is, I think, essential for any footy fan who wants to keep their sanity (as well as any Marxist).Just wondering, why fo you have a pic of Gramsci as your DP?
Didn't he arrive at all of Collingwood, Geelong and Richmond in times of relative turmoil?Being in the right place at the right time.
