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.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

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

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 can’t see him applying the required pressure in the fwd 50
Think I'd be playing him back, he likes to starve his people of opportunities and is big on defense.
Unlike our defense nothing gets in or out of KJ backline, likes a good team bonding parade too so he would be handy in Grand Final week..

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".

How much damage did Diesel and Rhys do behind play to others and yet they are favourite sons. In any case, no point arguing over it, I wont change your mind(s) and you wont change mind. If the club were to poach him, which I doubt he'd move personally, only thing that you, EB, Capcom et al can do is stop supporting the Blues in protest I suppose.
