We only got Balme because he cracked it after Collingwood effectively demoted him and installed Gubby Allen in his old position ......was pure luck......if we should be thanking anyone, it should be Pert & Fathead......:clapping

Grubby is a scumwood favorite and they owed him for pillaging and drip feeding GWS talent back to them.  We lucked in getting Balme back to Tigerland because he says stuff and does stuff that's really good.

Love this bloke every time i hear him speak. Didn't hear his name mentioned when Benny and Peggy names are thrown around but I think he is equal to those 2 IMV.

Slobbo FO with your opinion peace for the AFL to target Balme today. I'm not shocked to see a headline like that from a snot rag like yourself.

Massive loss, but his role has become less and less over the last few years (not necessarily the right thing either), but a huge get by the Crows. Thanks Balmey for everything; you will be missed
