Carlisle not offered new contract

[saynta]

Shame. I thought he showed a lot of grit and skill in that game pinch hitting as a ruckman against WC early in the year. Best of luck to the big guy in retirement.

Another addition to the endless 'what if' pile of St. Kilda players.

Wish that pile was a bit smaller.

Wasn’t Carlisle beaten in the ruck by 180cm Marlon Pickett??

Great hands, one grabber. Did was he was traded to provide. Last games couldn't kick. Back shot. Worms ducked. Gave up pick 5 to get him (Darcy Parish). Not going there on what if.

Pick 6 Aaron Francis. It may have been pick 5 bumped down to pick 6 but it was Francis not Parish they took with the pick from us.

Isn't this the 100th time the point has been made?
And we got Gresham...I still think it was a decent deal, especially given it was with that dog Dildoro

could have been aa, just didnt have the drive.

Therefore wasn’t an AA and could not have been.

I was not his biggest fan either B.M. and believe, once again, we were royally bent over by Essendon. Why anyone would have done any trades with that club during that period is beyond me.

However, an unexpected loss or beating should not define a player or their career. It kind of sounds like you've won everything you expected to win if that's your rule of thumb in defining a career.

Actually

I think Jake was a talented player - clearly a good mark

I don’t think he fully lived up to his talent with us, partly attitude and mainly injury.

As a defender, he was better offensively than defensive. Preferred to zone off and play his game.

Tidy kick, but had a habit of kicking only 20m.

150 games as a decent player is nothing to be sneezed at, but doesn’t do justice to his ability.
