It has been reported, though with no clubs specifically attached, that 4 clubs have expressed interest in J.Carlisle, asking him to explore the get out rule that Ryder is exploring.
I must say, putting any possible suspensions for Ess players aside, I would be hoping we would be one of the 4 clubs. Carlisle is, in my view, a very good KPP. Hasn't reached his potential yet, but his hands are dead set buckets and he can play either end.
It is great Rowe and to a lesser extent White, and Cas, and even in the last game Watson have shown some improvement, but I think it is fair to say none of these players are anywhere near Carlisle's level, which I'd would say is just below Henderson.
As good as it is to have good honest young talls coming through there is no substitute for quality talls, and they are not easy to come by as we have learned, in the years post SOS/Sticks etc we have realy only had ... Fevola, Henderson, Jamison, Whitnall, Hamill, and that is about it in terms of real quality talls.
I know he had a few issues early in the year but he has since come good, and as I said he is still young and will blossom even further, so I'd be doing whatever it takes to get him quite frankly. We'd be setting ourselves up nicely if we had Carlisle and Henderson in the side. There's your double prong top notch key forward pair, and the beauty if they can both play down back with aplomb.
The big Qn though, is does he see CFC are an attractive destination? Do we still rate up there as a desired club to move to? I'd argue our pulling power is not as strong as it once was, and that if anything Malthouse is our best draw card now.
