Traded #22: Jake Carlisle - Pt.1 - Traded with some other stuff for pick 5, 24 and a Bird (cont in Part 2)

Carlisle does not like playing as a forward. He hated the decision to be moved forward and my understanding is he is still not comfortable with it. It simply won't just come down to paying him whatever he wants.

That's obvious to anyone watching him. Does not want to take a mark anywhere he might have to have a set shot and will play on if at all possible. So what do we do?

I think you ask him to play out the rest of the year in the forward line and then promise him a spot in the backline starting next year

That could actually work. Would take the pressure off him knowing he could go back to his beloved backline next season. Then he clicks as a forward and it doesn't matter any more. Problem solved. Genius.

 

[Doss]

Fundamentally, I don't like the idea that he drops his head because he doesn't like where he's being played.

So you promise him a spot in the backline as of next year. Assuming Fletcher does retire, does a backline of Carlisle, Hurley and Hooker actually work?

Because I sure as hell don't want to see Hurley moved to a position he is clearly inferior at to accommodate Carlisle.

Irrelevant. You missed the bit where he becomes a gun forward after being promised an easy way out.

Who will play forward next year - Ambrose struggles to have scoreboard impact, JD hasn't come on as expected - There's not much left in the cupboard.

I think there is a really big worry that it would be too tall. Fletcher works currently because he has height and speed.

 

[Zach Package]

I'm not sure if people have been paying attention recently, but Hurley is moving like a man possessed at the moment. He wouldn't be able to play small like Fletcher does but he's basically another back flanker when the ball hits the deck anyway. It'd work.

I'm not sure we have a choice either

Target a free agent? Any possible candidates coming up?

Quality post that one..

Gonna be tough to entice a big fish again this year considering the WADA case will most likely be in full flight during trade week.

He's not on track to kick 80 goals this season.

He's a spud.

Hawkins this year, JJ Kennedy next year

 

[Beerfish]

Hawkins would be a good fit. Awesome. Looks like we've sorted the team's major problems in a handful of posts. This list management s**t is easy.

The point is that JD is still coming too terms with AFL footy - Take Carlisle out and who is the second tall ? lets face it JD embarrassingly was out bodied by a first gamer - Couldn't win a one-on-one contest last week to save his life. - Anyway a game in pristine conditions will leave JD with no excuses.

you tell whoever told you to tell him to go man the **** up, embrace it and do what's best for the coach/team

When the ball was kicked to Joe's advantage he made a contest at the very least, when it was kicked to Pearce's advantage then he won, it's really not a big deal, especially given Joe is only a year older than him

I liked that the three times he did get a set shot, it was from a mark on the lead. Hopefully does a bit more of that.

Of course 3 goals would've been nice too, but can't win 'em all.

 

[Ambrosia]

I'm not sure how I'd feel about it but we could trade to Carlton for Henderson and a swap of first rounders or something like that.

Easy, trade him for a forward if he continues to sook.

Stupid post, JD is coming along nicely.

It is a big deal - Joe in his third year still can't hold his ground - And its exacerbated because Joe doesn't get enough ball on the lead, though there was a small improvement last week. Anyway indoors and flat track gives Joe every opportunity.

IMO, JD has stagnated in 2015 - Though this can happen to any player - But there is room for improvement.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Carlisle isn't comfortable?

Might have something to do with the service he's getting.

Seriously lads Coleman wouldn't kick goals in our side at the moment.

It comes in rarely and when it does it's slowly and into a crowd of defenders.

All things considered he's not even playing that badly.

I maintain he can play as a forward. Better than Hurley.
