Open Mike - Neil Balme (2012)

[@KevinCummins-c8l]

Great interview. Balmey wonderful long footy career. Loved having him at the Pies.

[@IsaacAsimov1992]

Neal Balme is an impressive person. He's articulate, intelligent and possessed of excellent people skills. A well-rounded, very wise and likeable man.

@J G STFU and stop your bellyaching. The idiotic drivel you keep parroting.

[@roostersbays95]

even at the end of a fist, .....

[@sirepaulos]

thanks up loader, lovin these!

[@seamusb1047]

One of the great footy minds. As coach had the Dees playing possession footy 10 years before anyone else, and look at Collingwwod, Geelong and now Richmond when he's been behind the scenes

[@camwells9726]

Baron Eagle that was afl then, the so called tough guys were really just a bunch of snipers , not that brave at all hitting blokes when they arent looking , at least your rugby league tough guys sorted out their differences going toe to toe .

[@darylcumming7119]

Survived and thrived in an tough era of VFL football and had success, premierships with Richmond.

[@joememphis1571]

Neil was very formidable, rough, tough, strong and powerful in his playing days.

[@danielconnoley6996]

He was one of graham richmonds enforcers abd vg at that and great administrater

Bloody sniper, the dog will never be forgotten for all the wrong reasons.

[@alansimmonds9030]

Lol....1973 still burns eh?

[@josephcordina8786]

please come back to Collingwood

[@robertstockden2974]

I'm a blues supporter but love the way Balme played.

[@hello72987]

Baron Eagle shut the hell up!!! He's a really kind guy! He doesn't deserve to go to jail!!

[@f3rdi881]

@Baron Eagle with your logic half of the afl back in the 70's and 80's would be farked. Leigh mathews, Brian Taylor, Dermie, Alaistair Clarkson.. those 4 alone were a lot worse than Blamey.

[@brettbrett9973]

11 years at Norwood an about 90 seconds given LOL Typical.

[@roostersbays95]

i cannot stand most games of afl now. I get a lot of jollies watching the Sanfl

[@pillwolak]

Another salty South Australian 😒

[@brettbrett9973]

@@pillwolak What ? SA should have let Vic clubs fold so it would be a national comp. The arrogance. Your mob are slowly destroying the game. I dont expect you to understand that.

[@pillwolak]

@@brettbrett9973 that's the thing with you SA sooks. No-one is trying to get rid of the SA teams. Whether you like it or not, the VFL back in the day was far more superior than the bush league South Aussie footy. Go cry in the Torrens, pal

@@roostersbays95 I'm from NSW, we never saw SANFL until now, and I love it.

[@johncasagranda990]

Balme how about an Apology to Southby mate?

[@MJVORRA99]

Yeah because Carlton never had snipers like David Rhys jones

[@johncasagranda990]

@@MJVORRA99 ok…we have moved on since those days……but we are still human beings at the end of the day. PS..if you have played footy yourself and been hit behind the head…it bloody hurts!

[@nathand4500]

Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Met him down in Hobart in 2015 at the Salamanca markets at a local cafe. Tried to cut the line in front of me. Total flog.

[@yamothersfavouritefarmer2787]

You should have spoken up.

[@Vinnie101a]

Like to hear his side of the story.

[@Vinnie101a]

@James : Thanks for that advice. What type of moron would keep saying that about many people they don’t even know? Unbelievable! [scratches head and walks away]
