But Pick 19 doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
1. It was a one horse race
2. For an ice addict
3. With a 250k gambling debt
4. In terrible form and terrible condition
5. One year away from free agency
Just... How..?

Brodders17 said:Balme did not say we knew he used drugs. Yarran has not said he used drugs before we recruited him (as far as i have seen.)
Balme said we knew he had off-field issues. we have threads full of posters saying they dont care what people do off field, and that we shouldnt worry about character etc.
we took a risk on a guy who had issues (maybe not drug issues at that point) and we got burnt.

Tigers of Old said:Pick 19 says yes.
TigerForce said:“We did know a reasonable amount about it,” Balme said. What reasonable amount? Surely he would've been questioned and investigated thoroughly....or not.
LeeToRainesToRoach said:He's answered the question without answering it. Balme's a past master at that.
On top that Blair Hartley still has a job.silvertiger said:we should sue the prick for non performance of contract......we will win because GOD will pay!

He was warned Yarran has issues and he still parted with 19
