Balme, who started out at Richmond in the under 19s, made three senior appearances for Richmond, from rounds three to five in the 1983 VFL season.[2][3] He then joined Norwood, coached by his brother Neil.[4] From 1984 to 1995, Balme played 254 SANFL games for Norwood.[5] He was a full-back in the club's 1984 premiership team and memorably clashed with opposition full-forward Tim Evans in the grand final win over Port Adelaide, before the first bounce.[6][7]
