Can recall Balme's kick in from fullback/accidental 10 metre 'pass' to Rick Davies late in the Round 1 match at Footy Park in 1985.
Despite Davies popping it back over Balme's head for a goal the Norwood bench p1ssed themselves laughing, as did the commentary team. Great moment in footy.

I think he got drafted to Melbourne FC in late 80s, but I dont think he moved over.
Would be interesting to know his record (games played/goals scored) in late 80s, when the Redlegs probably had a list capable of making at least 1 Grand Final.

From what I remember seeing in those days those Norwood sides seemed to mimic the fast running handball game style that North at the time were very good at executing, but never seemed to pull it off* as effectively. One handball too many and often getting in trouble as a result.

North had more physically hard players and many who were skillful ball getters or users that were physically tougher to ride the bumps .. As an outsider it was almost as though the Roosters drew a line in the sand after getting banged up by the Bay's in 86' and 87'.
At Norwood we had one of the toughest players in the country, but it's almost as though it stopped there and all the physical stuff was left to him. You've got to have hardness across the board to have a premiership capable team.
