Carlisle lands at AFL club St Kilda

St Kilda have landed their primary target of the AFL trade window, signing Jake Carlisle despite interest from premiers Hawthorn.

The Bombers secured pick No.5 and Sydney’s Craig Bird in the three-way deal which also involved an exchange of lower draft selections with St Kilda and the Swans.
