Operation get Jake Carlisle

[GVGjr]

What other key defenders are about that we could look at?

Daniel Talia?
Tom McDonald?
Steven May?
Rory Thompson?
Ryan Schoenmakers?
Robbie Tarrant?

The top 4 would all be big improves to our side and the latter ones I think are entering their best years, are undervalued in a trade scenario and ones I wouldn't be adverse to adding to our list.

There is of course some of the GWS boys like Plowman and Corr that fit our recruiting profile of young and athletic.

Carlisle is the one who could make the most difference to us but there are some risks.

I feel that we could get May or Thompson for cheaper than Carlisle as well.

McCartin is going to be a star. He was the difference between Footscray and whover St. Kildas alignment team is earlier in the year.

That's exactly why it's a fair comparison.

God I hate St. Kilda. Topping up with McDonalds Box as soon as cRiewoldt retires.

Wrong thread?

Schade from the Suns too, although he is still a developing type.
Plowman is tall but isn't he more a rebounding type? I'd like him but is he really going to be that different in playing style to Zaine Cordy? Hammers can also play the tall non-KP type at a pinch too.

Mark Stevens said on AFL Gameday this morning that the Dogs are out of the running for Jake Carlisle and that he is heading to Carlton. "Lock it in" was his words. He was pretty confident.

It could be a blessing in disguise that Jake has not picked us with the WADA case still ongoing.

If this rumour was true, and Jake was indeed 'locked in,' he would be feeling very blue right now.

[Twodogs]

Yep, I'd be locking myself out again as quickly as possible.

Throw the keys into the Yarra from the window of a speeding car.

Essendon need a ruck man. Big Will and 2nd round pick for Carlisle? I wouldn't want Will to go - I reckon he's part of the fabric of our club. But surely this will at a minimum be thrown up during trade week.

I would go with that, but not sure if Essendon would.

I would say they definitely won't go for that

If we threw in JJ as well they'd consider it.

I keep hearing that Jake is coming here. Sources aren't always right but they are usually pretty good. There is a lot of talk about him so it's hard to weed out the BS. Stevo is usually pretty accurate with Dogs news so I'm not putting much into what I was told and I'll lean towards what he says.

[Bulldog Joe]

I would go with that, but not sure if Essendon would.

It also needs to be something Will agrees to.

He is contracted for 2016.
