Neil Balme - Bring him back

[AngryAnt]

Great to know he's sticking around. The godfather of all that's good in Richmond

 

[Bones17]

COP THAT YOU BIN DIPPING WANKERS !

How about reporting facts you bunch of infantile fantatists. No wonder Dusty etc doesn't want much to do with them.

 

[tigerman]

Running out of the backline, long raking kicks. Great memories.

And a beer and a ciggy after the game, the good old days..............

Barry Richardson was a physiotherapist (hence the nickname).
Father of Dan who was at Richmond before going to EssenDoom as head of football I think.
Very handy player, Bones.

I was a big fan of Bones too, he missed a lot of footy due to a dodgy knee. I liked another Bones too, Bones McGhie.

Famous smoking Richmond footballer Bones McGhie revisits MCG

Tough and tattooed, one Richmond footballer became a cult hero after he lit up a cigarette on the MCG to celebrate winning the Grand Final. So who is Bones McGhie?

Some might remember Doug Wade running up behind to attack him and Robbie flipped him on his arse. Hilarious stuff.

Can’t wait until Sam writes an retraction n apologies for writing such crap … again

is there any accountability in that so called profession??
They just make stuff up to suit their bosses n the narrative that sells ad’s via a simple click

wankers!!
Our superstar…..was never leaving!!
Game on!!

My read is that Balme agreed to be head of football at the Crows, but the incumbent (Kelly) didn't want to step aside, hence the coach's glowing praise of Kelly at the b&f. Head of football morphed into "a consulting/mentoring role" and the deal was off by Monday.

Bones McGhie running out of the backline, long raking kicks. Great memories.

Flat punts too from memory, none of those fancy drop punts for the likes of Bones.

Grover reminds me of Bones Mcghie a bit too. Just his proportions, gait and hard at the ball contests.

Our much loved Subiaco Superman is staying... best news I've had this week.

 

[BrisTiger24]

So Crows think they have their prize and it's taken away from them in the blink of an eye.

Richmond. *smile* with the Crows since 2017.

Was Geelong losing to Port last weeks news?

There was a whiff of that about the Balme reporting. Some of these *smile* are fat that needs to be trimmed.

“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in”

Another classic Seinfeldian phrase!!
