The problem Balic has is that we have so many half forward flankers on the list. He needs to show that he is capable of playing a different role at VFL level to force his way into the AFL side. The fact that he is not getting midfield time at Casey really hurts his case. Even playing off a HBF for the remainder of the year would boost his chances given that Vince & Lewis are nearing the end.

I'd rather see him get another year over extending contracts for the likes of McKenna and JKH, but you couldn't blame the football department if they choose to move him on either.

I hope they keep him, rather him than JKH

As supporters we have no real basis of knowing whether he deserves another year.

What's his attitude like ?  Is he doing extras ?  Is he coachable ?  And many more elements determine whether an unproven player is offered another contract.

Go Pro this is your most conciliatory post ever !

The footy department don't think the same way, if jkh plays the same way like on sat he stays in the side, provides note defensive pressure then Vince
