If I were to play devils advocate - don't we have 10-15 players currently unsigned beyond this season?

Yes , but none of the them went home halfway during pre season or in the middle of the season.
I wouldn't read too much about that, not till the TPP has been finalised.
Lots of contracts are on hold till that is all settled.

Unfortunately pretty much all the kids from the 2015 and 2014 drafts.
Langdon's one year contract attests to this.

New CBA was just signed today. Look for a few dominos falling now.
Maybe not Balic's though. We'll see...

Yep. You'd naturally think that we've seen the last of him in purple. A pity. Possibly it wasn't just the wrist that caused him to slide to #38 in the draft?

I hope Harley can get the help he needs, his life is more important than his value to the Fremantle football club

Nobody will trade for him. It's Josh Simpson all over again.
No way. Pick 38 straight down the drain. Will get absolutely nothing for him.

Except there was no AFL club based in Yalgoo who might have thought he was worth a shot.
I would like us to get something in return for him, maybe a straight swap of Balic for Zac Fisher at Carlton or even Balic plus a second round pick (if we can get one) for Acres at StKilda. We jjust need to make sure we get somethnig in return for him. We may even just use him to go from a third round pick back in to the second round.
Obviously the main thing is that he is in good health but when you look at what Roberton is doing at the Saints now it really makes you wonder.

Fair point. He's definitely damaged goods at this point though. If he gets picked up it will be as a delisted free agent.
We will be lucky to get a 3rd or 4th round pick for him.
Hope we do whats right by him.

This will be a Roberton delist scenario again.
I hope he finds the support he needs to get back to full health.
