Re: Jake Carlisle
Really like this pick, apparent slider.
Not only are Gumby and Neagle injury prone, Jake and M.Still can keep them on their toes if they are fit.

Re: Jake Carlisle
Pick 24 Jake Carlisle 196cm 83kg Calder Cannons
With the draft restrictions in the next two years and question marks on Neagle and Gumbleton the club have done a really smart thing in drafting Carlisle. He is a player who I rated the third best tall in the draft and he can play at both ends.
It might sound a bit strange but he could possibly play a little next year despite him needing to build up in the upper body and being a bit on the lean side.
Like his fellow Cannon the smaller Jake, big Jake is also known for his work rate and reasonably good skills. He is a mobile player who has better than average pace but nothing out of the ordinary. He reads the play well at both ends and is very strong over head and possesses a pretty good leap.
Consistency wise he needs to do better. Often he does not find a lot of the ball and he seems to be a kid that needs to have a couple of possessions early to get the confidence going. When he gets going he really starts finding the ball and taking marks.
As a defender he is very solid. His good leap allows him to spoil well and when he is going well he can read the play well enough to start heading off his opponent. On the days where his confidence is a bit down he tends to stick to his defensive roles rather than taking the game on.
Kicking wise Jake is not too bad. Like a lot of the kids this year he can be a bit indifferent and have days where he can turn it over or kick poorly but most of the time he was in the 70% efficiency range and rarely did he drop below 55% efficiency. He can kick long distances but he can struggle for accuracy kicking at goal from more than 40 meters.
As mentioned earlier Carlisle is pretty mobile/athletic and his agility is good. For a big bloke he is pretty good at ground level and his pace off the mark is ok.
Now all of this sounds like he should have been a top 10 pick but the simple fact of consistent performances hurt him. He was ok for Vic metro at the champ series doing a few good things and playing at both ends of the ground but that was it. Played ok defensively but never really played up to his best level despite being a solid player and coming into the games at some stage with some very good play.
It was the same at TAC Cup level. He is a player that should have dominated games most weeks but seemed to lack the confidence to back himself and his ability and take the game on.
He will need to build up his upper body strength but if he can get his head around the fact that he could really make it as a 100 game plus player at AFL level and have an impact we should see something good.
Very smart decision not to forget picking a good KP prospect.

winderlich look-a-like
just had a look at some images on the afl website - genuinely believe jake carisle has the face of a young winderlich when he was about 14... can anyone else see what i am seeing?

Re: winderlich look-a-like
Yeah, I have to admit when I was looking through the photos of the most recent Bombers training session for a minute I thought Winders had grown his hair longer before I realised the guy in the photo was far too young to be Winders. Then I looked at the caption, saw Carlisle and thought "gee he looks like a young Winderlich".

Re: winderlich look-a-like
Let's hope he has winderlich's burning desire for success. A lot of our youngsters can look up to winderlich for inspiration. He's kind of like a Ramanaskaus in the way he's made his comeback... except coming back from cancer twice is a lot more difficult than a back injury.
Should teach our kids to really grasp their AFL opportunity by the balls now they've arrived at the elite level of the game.

Which one is that? Is that Torres? Being an Everton Fan I tend to not pay him much attention.

Anyone else think Carlisle looks like Fernando Torres?

Re: Jake Carlisle
I have to admit that my first thought was that he does look a bit like Fernando. Much more so than Winders.

I'm pretty sure those hands are some kind of prank. Looks half gecko to me. Not a lot of weight on him

Re: Jake Carlisle
ps: after reading the HS article and his desire for cricket, I'm hoping he won't be another Cupido.

You reckon Cupido's problem was cricket??

Re: Jake Carlisle
Yeah I know it's a rather moot point but I can't help but think if cricket plays a mental factor on the kid. He was taken with our 2nd pick in the ND, so he definitely deserves to be treated as any other pick, but if he was taken with say the 2nd pick of the PSD then you'd think cricket would constantly be on his mind as to whether he should've stuck with that potential career choice.
May just have an adverse effect when focusing on his AFL career.
