Love the way he's tracking but a level below in class these names.

Re: Operation get Jake Carlisle

There is no way Carlton will let Henderson go. Their list is so stuffed they need to throw money to pay min cap. And he is one of the only decent talls they have.

Unless they have learned nothing from this season they absolutely need to let Henderson go. They should be desperate to get 4 draft picks inside of the first 40 of this years draft and if they could get an early 2nd rounder for Henderson they should do it.

Agree, really need to add someone with a bit more pace than the rest of the names listed... A good kick too would be a big bonus.

There is plenty of other ways to do it without taking a good young(ish) player that builds a spine. Gibbs and Kreuzer are great examples who will get them those picks, freeing up cap space and also not negatively impacting the team in any way whatsoever.

Damian Barrett in his weekly Sliding Doors article on the AFL Website:

If the Bulldogs are successful in their pitch to Jake Carlisle then they're going to look pretty good in 2016.

I thought we were out of the Carlisle race?

Mark Stevens said so. Maybe he is using reverse psychology

Jack Nail in the Age reckons we're after him as well

Re: Operation get Jake Carlisle

I understand we've put forward a very good pitch to Jakes Management. My guess is Carlton can and will offer more bucks and Stevo's logic was Jake would take more dollars because he wants more dollars like all of us. But Jake could very well take a little less to playing in finals from the get go. The truth is, not even Jake knows what he's doing yet and with WADA in the wings confusing him and the circumstances who knows what will happen. But the media writing in his morning paper he can have a very good salary and play finals with us as the missing piece helps us in our pitch. Thanks Damien & Jake.

Re: Operation get Jake Carlisle

I wouldn't be offering pick 10 either. We'd need to find a downgrade pick and player.

Re: Operation get Jake Carlisle

We will have a good go at getting him even if the signs are he is looking elsewhere. He's a good player and if switched on fits our needs but I'm not sold on him being a great fit for us.

Yep. The I won't play forward thing worries me too. You play where the team needs you to play. There's no "nup, not doing that" in team.

He's a gun and you can't have too many good footballers-especially big blokes. But does his style suit our style of play. Minson despite his limitations is a good footballer, AA two years ago, is in pretty good form at what he does best in ruck contests. He's tapping the ball really well when he gets hands to it and helping us to win clearances. We've kicked quite a few goals over the last few weeks directly from ball ups and Minson has been responsible for most of them.

But the coach hasn't hesitated to drop Wil if there isn't a obvious role for him. I wonder if Carlisle might type. Or is he exactly the type we need?

The WADA thing has me worried too.
