Carlisle

[CURLY]

I disagree totally. He has flagged the issue weeks ago.

When my wife into early labour with one of our children, I was in the middle of a work meeting. The call came through, I told everyone I had to leave, and I did . Was present at the birth - the most wonderful moments of my life. Way more important than my job . Same for Jake. Best wishes to him and his family.

Completely different.

Not at all. He is an employee , just as I was . His primary duty is to his family, not to you or me. Let the man live his life.

That's fine. If he wants to live his life he can hand back his wages. He is a selfish coked up turd who is becoming a Father. I feel sorry for the kid.

Ridiculous post.

Pull your head in Curly family comes before football.
There are those on here who want him traded at ywars end and now questioning why he is leaving to be at the birth of his child.

Boom Boom

I hear this phrase a lot. ‘Family comes before footy ‘
It’s very emotive and designed to automatically make the reader feel uncomfortable if they don’t agree.

Just interested then. The birth of a child, whilst a huge occasion. Is it more important developmentally than say a kids first day of school? Miss a final because you’re interstate and miss the first day of school?

Its the trend its the thing to be seen doing. Trust me we add no value being in there.

Speak for yourself Curly.

That says more about you than Carlisle.

It's 2020, the age of the dinosaurs is over.

My kids are 16 and 14. No chance my wife would expect me to miss a AFL final to be there. Think for yourselves rather than being sheep.

Again, that says more about your usefulness than anyone else's.

Maybe he's thinking for himself rather than doing what his wife tells him! Could just be that he wants to be there - he's been at the birth of his other kids and played other games of football so presumably he knows the choice he's making. Or hang on - could it be that those pesky umpires are paying him off?!

Now I understand how you managed to fit all those 400 park footy games in

Believe it or not other people don't have the same priorities as you. Jake's doing what's best for his wife, himself and his family, and that's not running around with his mates kicking a footy.

What a shock.

Now it's a bad thing to actually participate in sport is it

It's a bit more serious than running around having a kick with his mates. He's a professional footballer that has a large contract that he is not fulfilling.

[roskilde]

Shame.

If only they would have looked ahead and arranged for the birth to be in Queensland.

He'll be sorely missed I think.

Funny I agree with nearly everyone posting here. Yes family is definitely more important than football but that having been said it also feels a bit like the Steven situation where we're being too compassionate for our own good and not ruthless enough.

I have no idea and have no clue what the specifics of his contract are but I suspect a more ruthless club might be able to sit him down and convince him that he should stay -- don't ask me how!

Just total speculation though.

[The Peanut]

It was just reported on SEN Jake is flying to NSW and will drive home and not set foot on Victorian Territory. He hopes to be available on the following week if AFL and state laws allow him and if the boys can get over Richmond.

[shanegrambeau]

All well and good for Jake.

I wonder how much money he has to pay out of his contract....

Sure, you can step out for personal reasons if you like. And it is not illness or injury.

We pay him to play, and in a final as profound as this one....we really pay home to play.

So what do the managers figure out here?

No worries mate...off you go. Kids come first, we will buy some toys for the kid too. ?

All this pious attitude...chest beating....my kids come first...family first....sure. I get that.

But I am not paying you for the privilege of reminding me.

[Sanctorum]

That's fine. If he wants to live his life he can hand back his wages. He is a selfish coked up turd who is becoming a Father. I feel sorry for the kid.

That is really offensive SP66, it is none of anyone's business to question Jake Carlisle's decision to support his wife and kids while she gives birth, and crude comments such as yours about a player's character are absolutely disgraceful and unworthy of a Saints supporter!

Yeah, that might be more accurate as I don't think his missus is in Death city.

Got this quote.

"“We thank Jake for staying as long as he possibly could before heading to NSW to be with Mel for the birth,” Lethlean said."

Press say Jake was heading home to Melbourne but the pricks usually get things wrong in my experience.

[bergsone]

So he wont be playing,dont dwell on it,lets get on with beating the tigers,I am sure the club was expecting something like this could happen

[magnifisaint]

Something needs to be done on the quote button. Should be limited to 4. Ridiculous amount of requoting.
