Could be that, for whatever reason, Fremantle knew he was likely to go home when contract was up.

Good luck, my ass. He can get f*cked. Should have sent him to the draft.

I don't understand how we can draft a kid at #38, then rehabilitate his injury and get him AFL ready...and he can actually lose value down to #66. Absolute rort.

If 66 lands us Matera, I’ll be ok with that.
Should have made him go to the PSD

It makes no sense. Surely there aren't 66 kids earmarked as being more talented than Balic in this draft... and unlike them, he's already actually shown he can play at the top level.
Ugh. Well at least he's gone now.
Well...we got Ryan for 66 so...

Needs to be done that way because it's the right thing to do, I'd hate it if the club didn't.
But also has benefits in player retention if our own list don't see us as a bunch of arses. Helps us to trade as players won't see us as a bunch of arses.

Only given a one year deal with Melbourne.. you'd think a young player of Balic's playing ability and potential would have been offered at least two. Off-field issues no doubt. Probably loves a bender. The club has done the right thing in letting him go.

Hopefully he's just another Viv Michie.

You can't win them all I spose, hopefully we use similar to get Matera home, that would balance it out.
Roberton and now Balic, even Crozier went unders IMO but as MadDocker pointed out it shows we treat our players with respect when they have issues, and don't piss about like those turds from Bankstown

Is this where we start making rumours that he's on his second strike? Lines up with his two periods of "personal leave".
He was good mates with Bennell, risky line to walk.
Mr & Mrs Balic are obviously sh1t parents

I reckon Balic will struggle to get a game for the Dees TBH, They have a pretty strong midfield
A one year deal reflects how highly they rate him, think another Viv Michie another Viv Michie
