Re: Operation get Jake Carlisle
I've soured on him to be honest. The pending WADA case which will already effect one of our players and the dummy spits because he doesn't play where he wants. I don't think he's worth the investment. I'd rather go for Henderson.

Do we have a source we can trust for this?
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Probably not but I'm pretty sure it has been reported that he hasn't been pleased about playing forward. Weather that is true depends on who you believe or which side of the fence you want to sit on I guess.

James Hird, he is the bastion of truthfulness. He once won a pedigree dog in a truth telling contest two towns over.

Not sure. I do however remember the media being all over Thompson in 2014 about it re. Thompson playing him out of position (forward) and Jake not being happy about it. There definitely seemed to be tension between Bomber and Jake.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Honest James they call him.
It's a lovely dog. Very hirsute. That's what James says anyway. And how could you doubt him and his shaggy dog stories?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Operation get Jake Carlisle
All things being equal, I hope we land Carlisle. I'm a big fan. Can't judge him (or many) Essendon players on this season's form (see Jobe). If his mindset is OK, Jake would be a huge get for 2016.

Re: Operation get Jake Carlisle
I'm confused. You told me to get Carlisle now you've doubts. What do you want people? If you want this you've got to be prepared to let Minno go by direct trade or him not being happy with an offer and walking.
The on trading of picks too. Say 10 for Bennell/other high quality mid and 20. 20 and fringe player for Carlisle.
Could be busy.

When in doubt go for the money shot. The money shot must be Carlisle, surely?

Re: Operation get Jake Carlisle
Will the WADA trial be finished before the trade period?
As a player, I'd love him in our backline. As an Essendon player facing a lengthy suspension, I am deeply concerned we're going to dig ourselves a hole.

I read somewhere the WADA case may go into the pre-season.

Re: Operation get Jake Carlisle
to me another key back is the missing link. Roberts Talia and Hamling coming along nicely but Carlisle is a level above those guys. The way he plays defence suits us too - zone off, read the play, float across mark. We'd use him like he's built to play - not like Hird trying to make him a forward. To me he's better than Lonergan (Cats) as he's younger, better mark, more athletic and we threw the kitchen sink at Lonergan last year so I'd be very surprised if, assuming Carlisle's considering leaving, we aren't up to our eyeballs in Jake Carlisle.

Re: Operation get Jake Carlisle
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.
