Traded Jake Carlisle [traded w/ #23 and #44 for #5, #24 and Craig Bird]

[Two Planks]

Out of contract at end of season.

What would it take to get him to your club in a trade situation.

 

[TGFC]

A little analysis of Essendon:

Forward: strong with daniher and a good group of small forward/mids
mid: really strong young core group led by watson, Heppell
Defence: strong spine with adequate small defenders, guilt as a replacement for fletcher.
Ruck: seems to be weak link bellchambers, not sure after that (shaun Mckernan cough, cough)

It seems to me (Essendon supporters please tell me if im wrong) the club would desire a good second or third big forward who could go into ruck. maybe a Tom Lynch or Josh Jenkins from Adelaide alongside some swap of picks in favour of essendon.

Not that i think carlisle would really interest the team due to the recruitment of lever as our top pick and dependent on Hartigan's form for the year (so far seems to have the potential to hold a spot)

 

[Snake Charmer]

Bombers would want a hell of a lot for him. He is very highly rated at the club

 

[BEEG]

Probably in the range off what Port had to give up for Ryder

I'd agree to a certain point, if wada don't appeal he is worth more. As would Ryder

 

[Vindicater]

Will resign with the club.

If he wants to leave will be worth at minimum a top 10 pick.

 

[Dogsman16]

Will resign with the club.

If he wants to leave will be worth at minimum a top 10 pick.

We would give up our first rounder for Carlisle and that will be a pick inside the top 10.

That'd be ironic...

 

[Ashton Agar]

James Aish and a second rounder.

OR

Adam Treloar/Dylan Shiel and steak knives.

 

[Struggle]

Our first would probably get it done after them initially demanding that pick and one of bont, stringer, libba, dahl

 

[LukeParkerno1]

After Fletcher goes, he will go back in all likelihood, people forget how good he was in defence. Handy forward, absolute gun defender though.

In terms of a trade, a top 5 pick would be the ball park and even then I doubt it.

This is 'The Dodo' you are talking about. He'll want our first pick and Bontempelli, Stringer, Boyd, Macrae and Libba....

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Adam Treloar/Dylan Shiel and steak knives.

I think by the end of the season you might need to throw the steak knives in

Yep, got to admit Dodoro can be a bit cringeworthy at times when he overrates our own players when they're suddenly being traded.

I don't think Carlisle fits with Hurley and Hooker allready there. None of them can play on a small/mid like Fletcher can.

Carlisle will be a forward and a damn good one.

In terms of what has been suggested this is probably the closest. If you were to retrospectively redo the 09 draft, the only players that would go ahead of him in my opinion are martin and fyfe. Then add in the fact that we have spent 5 years developing him and that he still has a good 7-8 seasons of peak football left in him. Plus top draft picks arent even guaranteed to be any good, we may well end up picking a Trengove or a Morabito.

At Essendons stage in our premiership window I doubt we would accept a picks for him. We would be demanding a player, and a very good one at that.

 

[TedDougChris]

He is a bit like us fans in that regard....

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

I'd trade our first and a player like Johannisen (who Essendon have been into before) for him. JJ would need to have a good year though. Maybe even a second rounder/upgrade too. Dual position gun KPPs don't come cheap.

If he wants out it'll get done. Who knows, though...

 

[MightyDons4]

If he was hell bent on leaving then there are a couple of options I'd consider

Carlisle + 2nd rounder for Peter Wright + Jack Leslie

Carlisle + 1st rounder for Dylan Shiel and Cam McCarthy

 

[Ambrosia]

Are the dogs still desperate for a player like Carlisle?

 

[Mego Red]

The Crows would be curious..

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Are the dogs still desperate for a player like Carlisle?

Not as desperate as we were last year - but he would certainly still slot straight into the backline and make us instantly better. We'd be crazy not to try to bring him over if he did decide not to re-sign. Don't know whether he'd be interesting in coming - would probably hinge on a) whether he sees something building quickly; and b) whether his childhood affiliation with the 'Dogs has any sort of pull for him to choose us (let's be honest - rarely happens).

Don't think it would happen and with Talia playing good footy we're not falling over ourselves for a capable key defender - but we'd certainly be extremely interested.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Usually means nothing. Hawthorn were just more convincing for Jack Gunston. Still hurting.

Yeah, just throwing up an example.
