Can play.........seek.

Well it should be a no brainer. Sheik thinks he'll be one of the most influential talls in the competition.

 

[choo]

Collingwood gave up pick 14 for Wood aged 20
Also gave up 14 & 46 for Jolly aged 29
4 for Kreuzer is a bargain

 

[etsal1]

I highly doubt we're going to offer Carlisle double what Hendo is on.

Imagine what we'd have to pay Hendo when he's out of contract next year!

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Much cheaper

Spoiler

 

[In Judd we trust]

I don't make the rumours, i just put them here to upset people.

What Facebook page was that on ? i want to s**t-stir one of my Essadon* mates and tag him in the post

EDIT: Fixed Thy

He'll be worth it then.

Here's a great rumour from Facebook, and it even comes with a picture!

"Contracted until the end of 2015, Jake Carlisle has attracted the attention of 4 Melbourne based clubs.

Carlton are the front runners with a $800k per year, 4 season contract on the table. Carlisle's manager Anthony McConville was not available for comment regarding the 22 year old's future."

I would love him in Navy Blue, even at 800k. Those worried about him being banned for 2 years... he can still accept the plea bargain ASADA have proposed as far as I'm aware, and he'll be available to play round 1 next year.

If we somehow get Tom Mitchell, Jake Carlisle and Kristian Jaksch we will be top 4 next year. (maybe most likely potentially )

 

[etsal1]

Yep, let's pay Carlisle more than Gibbs, more than Murph more than EVERYONE on our list.

That's a way to fix our issues. Spend 800k per year on a player.

Need to do so on several players, like Sydney.

 

[choo]

Can we sign him to annoy the carp out of Essendon* then immediately on trade him because he's Essendon* scum?
Surely that is allowable under the "they're scum" policy

Gee you came around easily on that

 

[Matty411]

Would much rather get Jaksch then Boyd next year over an Essendope* player.

 

[etsal1]

Gee you came around easily on that

When was I ever in favour of it?

 

[thylacine60]

But I sort of want him, etsal.... (can you ******* change your username, very hard to be chummy calling you etsy)

I have to pay to do that. And I'm cheap. Care to help me out Thy?

They've used everything else known to man, not surprising they've injected fish.

Yeah, backfired on Tippett and Franklin.

 

[etsal1]

Yeah, backfired on Tippett and Franklin.

Buddy's on a 10 year deal, but yeh, let's say it's a raging success and won't have any salary cap consequences only 9 months into the deal. They've already lost Mumford, Lamb & Everitt.

 

[HARKER]

Yeah, backfired on Tippett and Franklin.

Only time will really tell............although a Cup in the bag this year, will say it was a win.

What a BRILLIANT strategy !!!!!! See what Carlton does is


1) Sign Carlisle on an EXTREMELY front-ended contract (say $2 million in the first year, then $400k/year each year after that)
2) Carlisle gets knocked out for a year by ASADA, sues Essendon* for lost wages (ala $2 million)
3) After a year Carlton has to cover the balance of the contract.


So Carlton steals a quality player from a hated enemy + said enemy gets no compensation + said enemy has to pay the majority of the players contract. It is a WIN/WIN/WIN

Get back to me in 9 years.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Carlise is so overrated it's not funny. He has no smarts as a forward and fluked a purple patch kicking 6 then 8.

However I would happily pay him $800k a year just to see the look on the Essendon faces.

How good would it be to secretly record the chemist, then nab one of their best KPP players!?

They're arguably a better side without those players and our best players are signed up. If we can afford 800k why the hell wouldn't you?
