We Must Now Sack Jake Carlisle

[The Fireman]

saw an interview with him advertised on one of the news services at the airport...missed it..anyone see it ?

Here is a possible speach by Roo to Jake in front of the group:

"Jake, what do you need to do over the preseason to prove you are a worthy selection for Round 1?"

"You were doing lines in the states...you know I was there right? Why didn't you call me!"

[bigred]

Send hired goons over to his place to rough him up and tell him not stuff up or else. That should put the fear of god into him enough so he'll comply and be a good player for us.

Nothing quite has the personal touch of hired goons.

it is suggested it is his manager=- but looks like one of the saints media.( and beginning of the clip it suggests the clubs minders were keen to not allow him too much to say )

thanks for that SB.

have a funny feeling this may work in our favor.

Perhaps Jack can mentor Jake.

Yep. If he plays like a gun but is forced to take a pay cut we get our great recruit with extra money in our cap for next year to secure a free agent.

the cut may only be sponsor contribution but could be utilised elsewhere

Lets hope the Saints brain trust have finally learnt if they deal with the Bummers , trouble will follow.

In the clubs mind they should look at it as a 17 club competition. Essendrug are way too hot for our little club.

[Teflon]

IF /when he stuffs up again cause he has form where do we stand if we need to terminate?
its a big contract for 5? .....id be making him agree to a variation thats basically last chance....

Can we stop with these defensive paranoid delusions that somehow Essendon are brilliantly foisting all their known perverted criminals on us. Jake was for all intensive purposes a St Kilda player when he decided to snapchat his drug taking. We knew he had some issues yet we went down that road. Lets be adults and taken responsibility for the roll of the dice that we chose. Likewise we knew Lovett was a double edged sword. Thats why good players are leaving clubs a lot of the times - they have issues.

We are choosing to take that risk. Stop whinging like little children - no one forced us to take these players. We made that choice. Being an adult is taking responsibility for your decisions. CArlisle may turn out to be a brilliant player - will we give Essendon credit for that? Not a chance. So lets take it on the chin that he was basically a ST Kilda player when he snorted and videoed it like a moron. We want to put all the bad on Essendon and then absolve poor Jake of all his responsibility. He chose to do what he did and HE needs to cop the responsibility fpr his actions. He is the one that needs to redeem himself on the field.
