The dons may as well give up on any chance of a premiership in 20 years and just aim to finish ahead of St Kilda for a decade or two, so they should take the deal and do their best to compete with St Kilda, fatten up hawthorn for another 10 years of premierships.

Don't you just love how the rich get richer, the strong get stronger, and the cellar dwellers remain forever screwed?

If Carlisle says yes to going to the Hawks then the Saints only have themselves to blame. They should have known that the longer it dragged on the bigger chance there was of other teams getting themselves involved. Now it's happened. They could have gotten on the front foot, like many other clubs, and gotten the deal done in 24-48 hours but they decided to be stubborn and now face the prospect of missing out entirely. Plus it will greatly annoy many other clubs that they've also allowed the Hawks to get even stronger.

Hawthorn has made a stunning bid to usurp St Kilda and claim Jake Carlisle from Essendon in a three-way deal involving North Melbourne and Jed Anderson.Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-trade-period-2015--hawks-make-stunning-move-for-carlisle-20151015-gk9qhl.html#ixzz3obEtjOoK

Yep. Whorethorn could sacrifice all their draft picks this year to gain ready made stars. They want 4 in a row (ugggh i feel sick writing that) the Saints should have stitched this up long ago.

Now they will get desperate and Whorethorn will wait and strike....

Hawthorn getting Carlisle is good for football.

Why? Because if Hawthorn can offer Essendon a better deal than St Kilda then they should have every right to trade him there. It's up to the Saints to improve the offer, this is how it should be.

Melksham for pick 25.

I wonder if Essendon will throw in a bottle of lube. We will need it.

Not disputing that.

But the Saints have made it really hard for themselves now and it is all their own fault

Should have got this done on monday...

We should have played Howe as FF for two winnable games mid-year, directed all forward entries to him.. given him a bag of 8 goals and then traded him at a fat price ala Jake Carlisle Super Swingman

I think we purposely played him in defense so there was little recent exposed form of him playing up forward.

Similar to Frawley last season.

Like against Essenond and Carlton?

As the article on the AFL website says it would be a shock turnaround by Carlisle if he chose Hawthorn.

Let's see what you're made of Jake. Maybe the AFLPA could learn something from this if he does in do an about-face.

Cue Adolf Hitler You tube clip learning of the about-face of Carlisle after learning of Hawthorn's late bid.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
