what makes it worse, is that its probably over a game of aflw which beggars belief as that is the worst game in australian sport
certainly reeks of the same downgraded thing that was offered to balmey at the pies, which resulted in his departure.
let me makes this clear I don't agree with Balmey not being in QLD; reckon he should be.
But
As I have said this many times but people fail to acknowledge or chose to accept it
But Neil Balme encouraged the changes in the footy department. Read he backed the changes (promotion) of Livingston & Hartley.
He has been involved the Women's program since day 1. He is a massive supporter of the women's program = he rates it.
Is he more involved going into season 2021, yes but was always going to be, being here in Melb
I am very much aware people don't rate it and that's fine but please don't use the women's program as ammo as to why he is not in QLD
He is heavily involved in other areas of the Club that during COVID are as crucial to the Club as his previous role in the Footy Dept.
Just because a couple of journos have raised this "he's been demoted, shifted sideways" line doesn't make it accurate
And for people to think that those up there in QLD aren't talking to him, seeking his counsel on a variety footy related issues is rather naive
Skype, Zoom etc exist and are being used
