Win Friday night and Jake will be back for Prelim

'Jake Carlisle and St Kilda have not ruled out the star defender playing in a preliminary final
Jake Carlisle and St Kilda have not ruled out the star defender playing in a preliminary final. But it won’t be an easy process. This is what would need to happen, starting with a win over Richmond.

Jake Carlisle and St Kilda have not ruled out a shock preliminary final appearance for the key defender, despite his flight to border town Moama for the birth of his baby.
The St Kilda defender said he was “devastated” to leave the club’s finals campaign as they take on Richmond on Friday night.
The Herald Sun understands Carlisle, 29 last week, does not have a contract offer in front of him at the club.
He is keen to stay with the Saints next year but is in contract limbo on weeks ahead of the trade period.
But he made the commitment to be at the birth of his third child, due on Friday or Saturday this week.
He flew from Queensland to Canberra on Monday, then drove six hours to Moama in NSW, where his wife Mel has been staying with her extended family.
A return to the field would require St Kilda to beat Richmond and the baby arriving over the weekend, but NSW residents can now fly into South Australia, where the preliminary final against Port Adelaide will be held on Friday week.
Carlisle would have to pass several COVID tests to re-enter the St Kilda bubble, but there is nothing stopping him from playing again if those factors fell his way.
Carlisle’s wife visited the club’s Noosa hub earlier in the season but the plan was always to have the baby in the southern states, with the AFL’s decision to install a pre-finals bye then pushing back finals by a week.
Carlisle said he was shattered to leave the club but confident he had made the right decision.
“I’m devastated to leave the guys, but it’s going to be a great opportunity for other guys to step up,” Carlisle said.
“To be successful you need more than 22 players.
“It doesn’t matter if you have your best 22 or your best 30 out there, as long as you’re representing the club.
“I’m confident they can go and win, but I’ve got to go home and make the tough decisions.”

Re: Win Friday night and Jake will be back fot [relim
Yeah asking one of our B/C graders who we will be forced to play this week to step aside for one of the comps premier defenders, an A grader and AA would be a disgrace.
Can't see it happening.

IF ... we beat Richmond, then of course Carlisle comes back in, the team comes first

What would be a disgrace would not be picking the best possible team from the fit and available players to suit the opponent.
If Jake is the best fit to play against Port and he is available you pick him.

According to the bookies, it won't be an issue. Saints are currently $3.60.

Re: Win Friday night and Jake will be back fot Prelim
Let’s see who comes in for him and how they perform.
If we win, we can make a call then on whether Jake plays.

So Jake is "shattered" and "confident"? Who would have thought.
You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Re: Win Friday night and Jake will be back for Prelim
I'm still scratching my head why he doesn't have a contract offer. He is A grade quality. You don't let that walk out the door.

Re: Win Friday night and Jake will be back for Prelim
Because he was on very big money for his first contract and we need to see who we can get before offering him another contract.
Nothing better than a good Dad Joke.

Yeah nah that's not showing Jake the love with thay approach is it. He's been very very good for us and we have to remind ourselves he was the first A grader to choose US as his destination club, and it was at a time when we were a basket case.
If we let him walk to another club then it's a set back.

Re: Win Friday night and Jake will be back for Prelim
It may have something to do with clubs not knowing what the salary caps and the number of players allowed on lists for the next few years will be.
The AFL has not made a final announcement because it can't get agreement of the AFL players association.
Patrick Dangerfield behaving like a typical union gutter thug, not genuinely interested in players, only interested in his own political power.
His members would like to know where they stand before going on holidays.
Will this holiday be permanent ?

Re: Win Friday night and Jake will be back for Prelim
It’s been reported by various ITK here for a while that he’s not very well liked at the club.
Whether or not there is any truth to that I don’t know but...
Looking at the response to the whole Murphy incident a few years back
His inexplicable omission from the team when he was really needed
+ a lack of contract offer
It really feels to me like we’re not that keen to retain his services.
Hope I’m wrong as I reckon he’s a very good player, underrated and extremely important to our structure
