This would be the same Rhino that at the conclusion of a game, picked up a ball and hurled it into the back of the head of a Penrith player at Greygums, and when the Rams player turned around and confronted him, ran to his daddy. Even his team-mates wisely not supporting him.

Twas a Rams home game, he just had a unique way of returning the property I guessComment

Fair enough, lucky to get it back I guess given we've lost a few to you in the past (Thanks Morgo)
The embarrassing part of the ball throwing incident was when an interstate visitor who saw the incident referred to Rhino as being a fken bogan.
And the visitor was from Elizabeth in SA

Balmain apparently attempting to lure back ex players from rival clubs along with some new interstate recruits in an attempt to get back into for Premier Div for 2015, obviously the 'cash' has gone, would be interesting to see how players are enticed back/to the club. Match payments are what in div.1? Either/or a Mars Bar, Pie (with sauce) and a coke, or a tofu burger, vitamin water and a gluten free muesli barComment

Match payments for div 1? I gotta pay $400 rego, $100 for camp and what ever else. Give me a pie a game and I'll play for Balmain.Comment

the following is posted on the Sydney AFL History Society website
History Society Vice President Bill Carey has passed away following a short illness.
Bill had a lung removed last year due to cancer and popped up as strong as ever following the operation. Then more recently two tumors were found near his brain. He survived one operation last week but respiratory complications developed with the single lung and he lost the fight against pneumonia.
Bill Carey had an almost life-long association with Sydney football, after learning the game at The Scots School, Albury. He was still attending senior games in Sydney up until late 2013. There are very, very few of his ilk in the Sydney competition.
In 1959 his father was moved to Sydney in the bank and it was then that Bill took up with the Balmain Club where he forged an almost permanent spot on the wing for a decade or so. This was apart from one season when he was transferred as a young teacher to a remote school, north of Broken Hill. That year he played in Broken Hill.
Bill Carey was a well known figure in the Sydney competition during the sixties with his wisp of honey blonde hair and glasses. He was one of the first players ever, to play the game wearing glasses.
He played well over 150 games with Balmain and regularly figured prominently in the voting for the league B & F medal. He also spent one year on the league?s management committee and was made a life member at Balmain, along with a number of others, in 1995.
Later Bill turned out with the Pennant Hills club when they were first formed and then moved his attention to the Pennant Hills junior club where, over the years, he held numerous positions, in later years, mostly that of ground manager.
As a school teacher Bill also coached local and regional PSSA teams in preparation for the NSW trials.
He touched the lives of many people in Sydney football and was what could be regarded as somewhat of a colorful character, with a dogmatic disposition but one that stood for honesty and getting the job done.
At the History Society he was often quoted as ?the umpires? friend?, but somehow this was something that not many umpires would have agreed with.
Nevertheless Bill was a tireless worker and supporter of the code and as the people in the Society got closer and to know him and his wife Robyn, found him to be a true gentleman and a good bloke.
He will be very sadly missed.Comment

Saddened to learn of the passing of Bill Carey. Bill was well known and respected around Sydney footy.
When RWO were on the lookout for a Sydney footy writer several years ago and I decided to put my hand up, Bill's information and advice was valuable to me - he had a solid knowledge of how Sydney footy worked, and was a colourful character and his passion and dedication for the game shone through.
Sympathies to his family and friends.
