What an appalling comment. The Ox was referring to Craig's actions in a specific scenario on the footy field. And yes, he had his challenges with gambling, which he has owned, has been clean now for 20-years, and now works in the field of addiction helping others with their challenges. If you want to throw comments like that from the sidelines, then knock yourself out. Just know that a comment like the one you've made says nothing about The Ox, but speaks volumes about you.

Spent a lot of his time trying to run the pack unsuccessfully instead of trying to unload the Ball.

True. And Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania. With a fair bit of, albeit less, interest in NSW and QLD.

I should report this comment for misinformation

You must be huge fun at parties!

@@CoupleofBlokesPod Lol, depends on the party i guess. I just don't like lawns a lot, to me they are missed opportunities more than anything. I felt like sharing this different point of view, too bad i got shamed for it. But yeah, i kinda saw that coming as soon as i hit send. Personally i'm not a lawn person but everybody who is can be proud if they did this level of upkeep. You did a good job. It's tight and green and i don't see any dandylions or daisies. Gotta give you kudos for that. It takes quite a lot of effort and resourses to maintain a 'golf tee' lawn.

Exactly; absolutely disgusting. That young man will probably have health issues all his life from that.

@@marynoonan6111 Youre not wrong, it was a tough game. He would hip and shoulder and clean guys up "within the rules", players could get away with it back then. Its the "King hits" from players that i hated, when a guy has no chance of defending himself....and there were plenty of dirty gutless snipers back in the old days doing that.

Not really true. Balme came to Norwood, initially as a player/coach and his white line fever hadn't abated one iota. He still used to hit guys, but both big and small. Neil was the master of having his eyes fixed firmly on the ball and then punching the guy going for the mark fair in the face. He never missed and he often got away with it. Steven Kerley (formerly from Melbourne) played for Norwood but then switched to North Adelaide. I vividly remember Balme smashing Kerley in the face. I heard him talking about the incident not so long ago and he said he'd got pissed off with Kerley because he kept playing on when he kicked out to get an extra stat. Mmmm, it seemed like a rather weak excuse for lowering the boom on him, but whatever. I have this dramatic photo of Balme taking a high contested chest mark against Carlton and another tough guy, Vin Waite, is smashing him to the side of the head with everything he had

Do you prefer the pussy footing game we now watch?
