Jake Carlisle: now there's a guy you know will just bleed for the jumper. Lying to the club before he's even on their list.
All those saying it doesn't matter because on field he'll be a gun for the next eight years - I think you're not factoring in the people-are-people-not-robots factor. There's no doubt this damages the trust relationship between Carlisle and the rest of the team. Our players are highly invested in our club, and Jake has lied to that which they all love. I suspect he'll find it hard to make friends. Furthermore, Carlisle has a history of blaming everyone else but himself. If the other players don't like him, I can see him saying it's a problem with them, not him, and that will only add to the tension.
I'm betting he'll be gone within the next 2 years, probably traded out for nicks. He won't want to be there, and nobody else will, either.
