Are there are some things that have no possible reparation, and without reparation is there still the possiblity of redemption, or even with reparation is there certainty of redemption?

Some might consider Bootsma's alleged acts beyond reparation in any frame of reference, I suppose this also raises the debate of the equality of voice. It would seem to me in that relative frame of reference we are not all equal, and the decision to open the door to the redemption of Balme might be Southby's alone as the sole person who has probably earned the right of veto, Walls or our opinions mean nothing!

That first sentence is a philosophical / theological question well beyond my limited understanding of the subject, and well beyond the scope of a footy forum.

I dare say Walls has spent plenty of time with Southby over the years, and would know much better than us what Geoff really thinks.

Yet it is still not his or our decision.

I long got over it. Southby has no issues with Balme either. I could handle Balme at Carlton if that were to theoretically happen.

Geoff Southby is a nice bloke who doesnt want to drag up old painful memories IMHO and I think his depression medication
wont allow him to hate either, just my take on things..
Balme could never bring himself to properly apologize either, just blamed his actions on the times when footy was more violent, yep great footballer administrator but an ordinary human being and I wouldnt allow him anywhere near my football club no matter how bad things were.

Better Tiger Balme than a fly in the ointment at Carlton eh EB?

The article that Paul quoted is from a few years ago.


Balme left Collingwood went to Richmond in 2017.


Ironically there's been lots of arguing for no good reason.
