If the deal suits us I would deal with the devil. Lovett wasn't Essendon's fault, it was either bad luck or our fault.
Well, of course it was our fault in acquiring Lovett from them. He was a known basketcase. Lovett coming with Hird's blessing was part of the sweetener and we got sucked right in. Is Carlisle what we're after anyway?
Well why listen to another person from another club. Anyway I think its a mids game but if pick 8 only gets a player like Newnes then Carlisle is a much better pick. If it gets a Steven type then stay with pick 9. Its a bloody hard decision.
In an ideal world I personally think it would be fantastic if we could snare Carlisle, Freeman and Bennell. Yes Bennell. I know he is trouble but I have heard him speak. He seems like an intelligent young man and it would be last chance saloon for him in the AFL if he came to the Saints. I have not heard the club publicly rule him out in the same way some of the other clubs have. So maybe we are chasing him. I would love to get Carlisle even though he is potential trouble with WADA because he is exactly what we need down back and also to get one back for the Goddard trade. If Freeman has solved all of his hamstring trouble he would be a super get for us. A super fast outside midfielder. A run and carry merchant with good vision and a good kick. Bennell has all the tricks and kicks lots of goals. Anyway I am sure some people in this place will strongly disagree but those three blokes have what we require in spades. The kind of players we need to help us get to where we need to go.

Don't know much about him, but I have heard the only knock on him besides his injuries us that his kicking is not that good , sometimez erratic I have heard from a die hard Collingwood supporter??
Clarification any one?
And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf"
I would be happy if we could trade our 1st rounder for Carlisle and Essendon's 2nd round. Offer Collingwood 3rd rounder for Freeman. 2 early second rounders and a couple of promotions sounds good for the draft.

My advice for what it is worth, never, ever believe anything said by the filth. Freeman is yet to play an AFL game but his showreel has him kicking with uncanny accuracy. It demonstrates he has speed, good vision and is cool under pressure. But don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself. When you do you will quickly realise why the St Kilda hierarchy might want him.
Getting back to Carlisle it's probably already been mentioned but with a possible two year suspension still pending we would want a money back guarantee

They may agree to Pay some of his salary, but we won't get our pick back... Not possible

@theafloffseason Essendon has held discussions with Carlton about a possible trade deal for Jake Carlisle.
The 23 year old told the Bombers this week of his desire to seek a fresh start elsewhere.
“I’ve met with Carlton, haven’t met with St Kilda yet, I’m meeting with them this week,” Essendon List and Recruiting Manager Adrian Dodoro told ABC radio.
“It’s early days at the moment. Jake hasn’t indicated where he wants to go.

My view is this this tips the likelihood to Carlisle nominating us from 50/50 to 70/30.
In negotiations you find out where you are first, canvas your options before you enter into discussions with the nominated party.
Could be wrong, just my opinion but that's what I would do.
Tomlinson would be a good get. He's probably assessing his options with a pile of talent in front of him. They have Mc Carthy, Cameron and the General. They also have Stewart who is probably nearly on equal footing quality wise. They can't play all of them in the same team and the first three are walk up starters if fit.
