I guess I might be one of those 'old timers' (having Brent Crosswell as my avatar is a bit of a giveaway) who despised Balme for his mongrel acts in the early 70s against some of our legends.

However... he is the best footy dept manager going around and I'd snap him up in a second. Bringing order and strength to our footy dept is one way he can make amends

He can become the next Pope or Dalai Lama but he can never make amends for what he did to Geoff Southby...

Yes I agree. If he's not helping us win a flag, he's helping another mob.

He doesnt need to, he just needs to fix our footy dept so we can win more than we lose and play finals. He could have king  hit Doull for all I care.

Life is about today, just as it was yesterday.  Or the decades before.  Sorry GTC, @ElwoodBlues1 is right.  Don't want the mongrel dog

Strengthen your army, weaken your enemy's.

Having Balme in a Navy Blue CFC logo Polo at Ikon Park is selling your soul, no premiership is worth losing your dignity.
There is an old saying that a "drowning man will cling onto a serpent".
We might be swimming against the tide but we are not drowning yet.....

I'd prefer Balme to a convicted drug cheat in a CFC polo.

I'd prefer Vlad Putin or Kim Jong Un to Balme.....

Find a jumper to fit Kim ... size XXXXXXL

I can’t see him applying the required pressure in the fwd 50

I was at the ground the day Balme broke Southby's jaw - an absolute mongrel act. 

It made sure we lost the grand final.  Kevin Hall had to be moved from the half back flank to full back.  Carlton players forgot the ball and spent the game trying to even up with Balme.

For those who say we should forgive because, after all, it was a long time ago, I just say "You had to be there".
