Jake Carlisle


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

During the week I was a guest at the annual Carlton v Collingwood Peter McCallum Clinic breakfast and sat on Nathan Buckley's table. I was going to wear my red and blue MFC tie but thought better of it, not wanting to offend my host, a very passionate Magpie fan who stumped up big bucks for the table with Bucks. The coach himself was very friendly (even when he discovered who I support) and generously gave a couple of fantastic autographs for two members of my grandson's junior footy team celebrating their 50th games (they're mad Pies fans).

The whispers I got unofficially were that Collingwood is heavily into GWS's Adam Treloar (a story that's been doing the rounds for a couple of months) and Brisbane's James Aish.

However, the big news from some well connected Carlton fans was that irrespective of who coaches them next year, you can expect a clean out with Henderson and Yarran off elsewhere and a large number of players to be dumped from the list.

The big story from a number of different sources is that the Blues are assured of securing Jake Carlisle who definitely wants out of Essendon and is virtually committed to Carlton.

While I remain wary of recruiting anyone from Essendon who might be tainted by the WADA proceedings, I think Carlisle would otherwise be a good pick up for them although he would come at a cost - possibly draft picks obtained from trading Henderson and/or Yarran.

I like that you didn't wear your scarf, I like that Carlton have hit rock bottom, and I like that everyone is going to abandon the druggies.

I think we should make a play for Daniher or Zaha. Both should be clean, taking Daniher will rip out their hearts. Time to pounce and kick a dying dog

There are a lot of aging players at Geelong but very few of them are putting up their hands to retire so where do they fit Danger, Selwood (from WCE) and Henderson in their salary cap?

Enright likely to go (at his own discretion), Stokes, Johnson & Kelly have already been tapped on the shoulder.

Are you going to be one of those guys that turns up at the silly season, makes copious amounts of claims about what's happening and gets next to none of them right?

I'd say Mach5 is Maschy, which means he has very good sources at Geelong...

Reminds me a lot of the "we just need a new environment" attitude of many players who leave Melbourne for greener pastures, but merely fade into irrelevant obscurity.

Those players are damaged psychologically, developmentally and, soon, WADAlly.

SJ 32 yrs &1 month looks like both catters & blues into a heavy rebuild at the same time. wonder who the cats will shed to get picks?

worth sniffing out Vardy?

Zaharakis from Essedon has had a below-par season for him, is 'untainted' and is a zippy attacking player missing from our midfield.

Other than him (and of course some kind of Daniher fantasy), can't say I'm interested in anything that might be coming from Essendon right now.

Oh, fans. Any Essendon fans looking to step away for integrity reasons, I'd count that as a fair clean start.

I have always been a big Kelly fan. Wouldn't be upset if we gave him a 1 year deal with the old 'play a certain amount of games for second year' clause similar to Crossy.

Good mates with Byrnes actually.

Has precious few mates left at Geelong after the T Selwood thing (both having it off with the same bird, she chose the guy still on a list, most chose to side with the skipper & he obv chose blood).

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
