The narrator has no idea...he coached the mighty Norwood football club to 2 premierships in 82 & the history makers in 84, the first side to win a flag from 5th. He later coached the Eagles in the SANFL.

I don't know who researched this but they are hopeless. Neil Balme coached Norwood not Glenelg in the SANFL for around 10 years to two premierships. He played for Norwood when he first got there and no one was safe, big or small. Neil was the master of going for the spoil and missing the ball and smacking the opponent in the face. Just ask Kerley. He'd left Norwood to play for North I think and Neil made him pay. Off the field, Neil was a lovely guy and has made an huge contribution since his playing days. David MacKay remembers him fondly from that Grand Final when he played most of the game with a broken jaw courtesy of Neil and still took one of the great marks.

@Melthoid Serendipity no such thing nowadays, just look at a player wrong or squirt some water on their head and you get 3 weeks. This was old school WAR footy that made it famous. No holds barred pure adrenaline ridden masculinity at its peak.

He coached Norwood in the SANFL. He even won a premiership. If you want an ex-Victorian who coached Glenelg, what about John Nichols.
