Neil Balme

[Guest neilbalmeatemypie]

Has everybody forgotten how good Neil Balme is?

He is arguably the club's greatest ever coach.

Should he not have been considered for the senior coaching role?

This one eyed Demon fan thinks he should have been brought back.

What sayest thou?

Neil Balme for Prime Minister, President, Host of "who wants to be a millionaire", CEO of the AFL, contestant on "the biggest loser" and Australia's first Yokozuna.

This post has much merit.

Alternately, how happy would Neil Balme be feeling now after Geelong just put the Pies out for the year? I am sure he celebrated that with a few Pies of his own....

RedandBlueThruandThru made me post this. He is distraught at the thought of Robbo leaving. His tattoo of Robbo which is discretely placed in the middle of his right buttock, will now have to be removed.

Taken from a previous post put up by Whispering Jack to describe the MFC style of play from the Neil Balme era -

And Umpire Robinson bounces the air conveyance. It hits the rubber knob and Jimmy Stynes palms the ball beautifully to his left where Todd Viney runs onto the ball, grabs it and handballs back to Dyson who goes to his right and finds Brett Lovett who chips it out to Glenn Lovett who handballs backwards and into the hands of the running Neitz who comes out of the centre half back position and spots Steven Febey on a wing. Febey accepts the lead and kicks the ball to the half-forward flank and finds Garry Lyon on his own. The captain marks and plays on kicking to the space between centre and centre half forward which Jimmy Stynes has run into. The Irishman's by himself and turns around to find Todd Viney who runs onto the ball, grabs it and handballs back to Dyson who goes to his left and finds Brett Lovett. Lovett chips it out to the other Lovett - Brett. He handballs left to the running Prymke who's come out of the centre half back position and he goes to the opposite wing where he spots Matthew Febey. The Mouse turns around and shoots the ball across to half forward where Shaun Smith takes an absolute speccy. He plays on and spots Jimmy Stynes by himself in the space between centre and centre half forward...

Where's the part where someone hands off to Damien Gaspar who spins out of trouble on the wing when he's clear by 15 metres?

He was coaching us in one of our greatest every wins, the 2nd semi against Carlton in 1994. You can give him that...
