#97 Neil Balme - AFL Legend

from Life of Brian Hosted by Clubby Sports

This week Brian and Harrison kick things off by covering all the major headlines in BT's world; Phillip Island MotoGP attendance, AFL Trade Deadline, updates on both his 'Tunnel Project' and health journey. Joining them on the mic this week is Neil Balme. Neil has been involved in league football at the highest level for over 50 years and has one of the most successful resumes of anyone in the industry; first as a 2x Premiership player with Richmond in the 70s, next as a 2x SANFL Premiership coach with Norwood, and then as a 6x Premiership Manager of Football with various clubs (3x with Geelong, 3x with Richmond, not to mentioned 2x Grand Finalists with Collingwood). Where this man goes, he brings success, it's as simple as that. On this episode, we unpack Neil's illustrious career and get to the bottom of what makes his approach to football and life one that bears winning as the fruits of its labour. We thoroughly enjoyed this chat and we hope you do too.
