Balkwill played his sole game for Carlton in Round 3, 1997 – the game best remembered for Carlton wearing sky blue guernseys as part of a cross-promotion for the new blue-coloured M&M's. Balkwill never played a senior game in the club's traditional navy blue – which was a unique distinction until the club later introduced clash guernseys.[2]
He was formerly the Principal of Thomas More College Salisbury, but is now the Principal of Mercedes College Adelaide beginning in 2020.[3]
