Fremantle second-year player Harley Balic has been granted an indefinite leave of absence from the club.

“The club and Harley have agreed that it is in his best long-term interest to take a leave of absence to deal with a personal issue,” General manager of football operations Chris Bond said.

“As we do with all of our players, we will continue to provide Harley with all the support and resources that he requires.

“Harley has acquitted himself well in four games for Fremantle since making his debut in round three this season and we look forward to his future contribution to the club.”

There will be no further comment from the club on this matter.

This is what happens when Ross plays the kids...

Wait, Ross plays the kids?  :P

On a serious note, hope everything is alright with the kid. Hate to see personal stuff get in the way of his massive potential.

Now tell me Pickett will be back as well, pretty please

42. Jarrod Pickett
Stats: 13 disposals, 8 marks, 4 inside 50s
From the coach: He played as a defender and showed some very good signs early, using his speed to both get back and influence offensively. He keeps adding layers to his game, and he’s another young one who we think Carlton supporters have a lot of reason to be excited about.

Terrible JS, Petrie in this week (may mean McInnes is dropped) and Lycett possibly only a few weeks away.
