Apparently being put up for trade by the saints according to Sam McClure. 201cm tall solid defender who can also play forward as shown by his 8 goal performance years ago when he was playing for the dons.

Has connections with Simon Goodwin and I wouldn't say no to potentially looking at Carlisle as a forward option but also swing back if May’s body lets him down.

Saints paid a high price to get him over in the first place.  That, coupled with the fact that they're rumoured to be into Hill, suggests they might be looking for some top picks.  We paid a top five pick for May, so Saints may think there's some currency for a 200cm KPD/KPF.

Doubt he would be coming cheap.

Really struggles below his knees probably due to his injuries, can't imagine him applying any type of pressure as a forward so not what we need. Can do some good things but we have other more pressing needs.

Trying to clear some cap space is the word. There going to be paying Hill a heap, plus they've got hannebury on big coin last year, then re-signed billings and gresh. Might be a cheap trade to clear him off their books. Not really a need of ours though

If they pay part of his salary and he's happy to play forward i'd look at it. 202 cm he could be a very handy forward/ruck back up for Gawn

Yeah he doesn't really get the juices flowing anymore.  Injuries seem to have slowed him down a bit and the Saints would probably demand a high price because of that. 

Unless they're willing to sell low then I doubt they'll get much interest.

The club is going to have to have a pre-season camp in Colombia, If we're adding Jack Watts, Harley Bennell and Jake Carlisle in the off-season.

Had the "pleasure" of being in the same bar as this [censored] during the offseason. Just what everyone loves... a drunk and substance affected footballer crashing everyones tables talking nonsense, harassing every woman, being aggressive to every guy with any of those women and asking staff and security "don't you know who I am?"

Deadset [censored].

He's 198cm. He hasn't looked interested at the Saints since part way through his first season with them.

Big no from me. We don't need anymore KPDs.

A culture killing, always injured, key defender... Just what we need... ?‍♂️

Yes we already have May to tick those boxes.

Makes me look at Oscar McDonald fondly. Carlisle is a real knuckle head.

IIRC part of the terms of going to the Aints was that they wouldn't play him forward - because he hated it at Essendon. I wouldn't expect anything to have changed. Also sounds like a tool with back issues.

While I'm not at all advocating getting him, if Frost was traded (only bringing that up because he hasn't signed yet and there's been no talk of it) Carlisle could be a cheap trade option. I've read that he's trigger with the saints was for 1 year on $600k, so they might be looking to move him for salary cap space (given they are chasing everyone under the sun). 

If we could getting him for a future 3rd or 4th, and get a 2nd for Frost (or have him part of a bigger deal), then stretch out Carlisle's deal over 2 seasons (maybe increase this to $350k per year), which isn't huge money then I reckon it might work. He's had a back injury but played the last 10 games straight so clearly it's manageable. he has also played a lot of games with Hibberd and Melksham who both came with somewhat of a party boy image but haven't put a foot wrong for us.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    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.
