He was apparently told by the dogs that they were taking him before they backflipped and took Christian Howard instead and he was pissed at them for that.
Being a doggies fan aside, I'd be pissed if I were drafted to that tin rattling slum of a club to be honest.

He has been improving in recent weeks, I think they've been getting their leading sorted and the midfield is kicking to his advantage more .

Early in the season Jake and Joe D interfered with one another quite a lot.
Make no mistake, the added value of smart smalls like Zaka and Chappy who drag those pot smoking, crack lining Pies zoned defenders out to create space. First time in how long we have seen (either) Jake and Joe run and jump at the ball?

Jakey still intercepting Collingwood on Monday. Love the dedication.


All jokes aside he said in an interview he ran into them by accident and was quiet embarrassed to be there at the same time.

No doubt about that, and I think that is a little of what I was refering too, forward line is beginning to function a little better for things like that.

Jake looked like he has been getting used to how to play forward too, and there is space for him to lead into.

Looks 12 in that photo. Hands the size of baked hams though.
Seriously.. the hands are almost novelty-sized. Next week I want him to pick up Dale Morris like one of those "Skill Tester" claw machines you see in arcades, and throw him into the roof at Etihad.

Impressive break out game by Carlisle kicking 4 goals on a player with a career ending injury..
Yeah because 4 goals is what people are talking about and not him coming close to matching Carey's record of most contested marks in a game :rolleyes:

Settle down princess.

Where did you get this info from? I'm going to enjoy telling some doggies mates about this one, they really do regret the whole Howard situation.
He wasn't even in the 200 player + draft shortlist that year. They thought they'd pull one over everyone! Poor doggies.

He said in his preview video that he was really looking forward to playing for the dogs apparently because he supported them as a kid and was understanderbly pissed when they went back on their word.

let's be brutally frank here, he's probably not going to have a game that big again anytime soon. 19 marks is insane. back to reality and 10 marks would be awesome.

they'll be all over him this week.... and rightfully so.

just hope he can snag a few set shots - that keeps the confidence up
