PLAYER privacy rules will be tightened after Essendon provided Hawthorn with Jake Carlisle’s location in Florida in the desperate last days of the trade period.
Four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson arrived unannounced at Carlisle’s Florida hotel last month in a bold — but ultimately unsuccessful bid — to lure him to the Hawks.
The first Carlisle knew of Clarkson’s presence was when he phoned his room from the downstairs reception desk.
Carlisle contacted his manager, Anthony McConville, to seek his guidance before agreeing to meet with Clarkson.
Clarkson was already in the US and made his pitch over lunch in a move that forced St Kilda to increase its offer.
Carlisle had provided Essendon with his travel itinerary to fulfil a requirement that the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority know the whereabouts of all players at all times.
But Essendon said it had not breached any rules.
“Prior to the trade period, the club spoke to Jake’s manager explaining that we required his whereabouts for his leave requirements and for the purpose of being able to facilitate a trade,” football boss Rob Kerr told the Herald Sun.
“The club attempted to contact Jake via phone in that period but was unable to speak to him.
“The club has been in contact with the AFL, Carlisle’s manager and the AFLPA about the matter and we are satisfied with the outcome.”
It is believed St Kilda raised concerns about Clarkson’s Florida visit with the AFL Players’ Association after being made aware of the surprise visit.
AFLPA executive Ian Prendergast said: “We are aware of the allegation that Jake’s whereabouts information was provided to a third party.
“On the face of it, given a player provides this information for a specific purpose as required by the AFL anti-doping code, it should not be passed on to a third party without the player’s consent.
“However, based on the communication we’ve had with the relevant parties, we will not be requesting an investigation in relation to the allegation.
“We will raise this issue as part of a broader discussion with the AFL and the clubs aimed at enhancing the professional standards to be complied with in circumstances where players are looking to move clubs in the future.”
Carlisle’s shift to St Kilda has been plagued by controversy after footage emerged of the former Bomber snorting lines of white powder just hours after the trade was agreed.
Hawthorn and St Kilda have both privately conceded they would not have traded for Carlisle if they had been made aware of the SnapChat video.
Carlisle has been suspended for the first two matches of next season and had his lucrative four-year contract rewritten.
