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.

 

Wonder why the Saints would want to trade him after going to the trouble of getting him from Essendon.

Can't say I'd be all that keen.

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.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
