Balic was born in Sandringham and grew up in Mordialloc. His father Eddie was of Bosnian descent, and his mother Nancy was of Italian and German descent.^[1] Balic played for the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup and was drafted by Fremantle with their second selection and 38th overall in the 2015 national draft.^[2] In 2016, he was a member of the Peel Thunder premiership team, collecting 20 disposals in the WAFL Grand Final.^[3]

Balic made his AFL debut in the sixteen-point win against the Western Bulldogs at Domain Stadium in round three of the 2017 season.^[4] After playing four games for the Dockers in 2017, he was placed on indefinite leave for "personal reasons".^[5] Later that year, Balic requested a trade home to Victoria and was traded to Melbourne in October.^[6] In August 2018 at the age of 21, Balic retired after losing passion for the game.^[7]

Balic died on 9 January 2022, four days after his 25th birthday.^[8] After his death, Balic's father indicated he had died due to a battle with drug addiction.^[9]
