What is up with Jake Carlisle?
Anyone?
Clearly top 22 IMO.
Our backline looked vulnerable without him vs Melbourne (didn’t see the Hawks game).
And now there is Darling and Kennedy looming which is about as good a pair of tall forwards going round and we’re playing for our season and still nothing.
Rumours going round that he’s for trade at the end of the year... we’ll take what we can get.
Baffling to me. What’s he doing or not doing.

Re: What is up with Jake Carlisle?
Yep, I’m baffled like you. I know his body language can be bad sometimes, but definitely best 22.
Maybe someone like Tony74 might have some insight??

Re: What is up with Jake Carlisle?
Perhaps might have to do with his inability to use his frame 1 on 1 actually put some body on the contest and compete?
Carlisle to me at times looks like he coasts a bit looking for the intercept when sometimes against good sides you have to just defend
He’s no Max Hudgton and I reckon if you told him that he might take his bat and ball....
Anyhoo.....gun midfield option then trade away for mine

Who cares. Think he's goners at years end.

Re: What is up with Jake Carlisle?
yeah, may have something to do with him being a slack bastard unwilling to put his body on the line? just an inkling.

Re: What is up with Jake Carlisle?
If don’t know how teams are selected but maybe you pick your backline as a unit not necessarily your best six back men, whilst WCE have Kennedy and darling only Kennedy 196 cm is a tall key forward, darling is 191cm maybe going with Carlisle and Howard (200 and 197) is going too tall. Maybe the selectors value Howard’s spoiling and prefer him as number 1 defender against tall forwards (Kennedy) and looking for someone with some height but more agility (eg Wilkie or battle) than Carlisle for darling. Only a theory though.

Re: What is up with Jake Carlisle?
I heard his wife/partner is expecting a baby in Melbourne in early October so maybe back in Melbourne quarantining? Not sure why we haven't heard either way though.
I heard this from Mrs Jacks Back and she must be right, because she knows everything.

Re: What is up with Jake Carlisle?
Not sure what Carlisle has done to deserve the vitriol he is copping in this thread.
Had some great games for us and a couple stinkers but not alone in that regard.
Bloke could simply be injured or doing a hard training block to prepare for finals for all we know.

Re: What is up with Jake Carlisle?
I've heard similar due to his partner having their baby very soon. How accurate that is I have no idea just what I've heard

The Age - July 15 2020 AFL players and their partners juggling hubs and incoming bubs by Sam Maclure
“St Kilda captain Jarryn Geary and star teammate Jake Carlisle may consider flying their pregnant partners to the Saints' Queensland hub so they can be together when they give birth
Geary's wife and Carlisle's partner are both due to give birth in the next three months, meaning there's a chance the players will still be in Queensland completing the home and away season – or finals.“

Re: What is up with Jake Carlisle?
Watson on SEN this morning responded to a Saint fan’s call about as to why Carlisle is not picked yet included as emergency, ‘Attitude...I would say....something to do with the things he isn’t doing, I would say*, responded Watson.
Lyon added, their back six will be stretched but perhaps *they are counting on bringing the ball to ground.*
I hope Coff plays, that’s for sure.
Caller pressed Watson, ‘Why include him as emergency if that is the case?’. Watson was vague. Perhaps, they are not that keen but realistic kind of message.

But I was kinda thinking along the lines of, watches loads of footy, played loads, and coached...including watching his watchers not give enough....
