I honestly think he's got more talent than we've seen and the right environment will bring it out, but it'd have to be bargain basement and a Mitch Brown replacement essentially and if he can win a spot, good on him

    You'd have to wonder what people in the industry see in Schache, to be able to determine why they are interested.

    They're clearly seeing some attributes that the pundits have missed. They'd also recognise the need for him to have a competitive nature. Has this been shown? Maybe... Clearly others think not... so again, what are the club seeing that Demonland pundits are not?

    I see a guy who is competitive... and displays it differently.

    I can't really imagine Beveridge playing someone who is not that way inclined.

    Can't see it really, but I guess it depends on what WBD give us to take him. I would give nothing of any value.

    Why do you think he would play better at his third club?

    I see this as a salary dump like Bowes, who I also would be very happy to take on, if we could get Freo to pay some of his salary cap to help us get pick 7.

    Freo appear to have a struggle on their hands, to get us good enough picks for LJ, so helping us get Bowes, or at least pick 7, if they can get Bowes, will be a very good start. Given Gary Ablett Jnr and Danger are both praising Bowes, that gives me even more confidence in going after him.

    He’s played him 9 games per year on average and mostly out of necessity. He was ok as a defensive forward on Aliir and Lever in last years finals but doesn’t consistently compete in the air especially when he doesn’t have a starting point to work on.

    Hes played forward, defensive forward, ruck, wing, key back for the dogs, and even took centre bounces as a mid for Footscray this year.

    You name it, Bevo has tried it

    Been tried and tried and rested and not quite there. Darcy and JUH and Naughton and Bruce ahead of him and he’s not a defender.

    Have no idea if this will come to fruition or even come out in the media and I put it down to pure speculation.

    Was just having coffee with a few mates who I hadn't seen for a while and one of them is heavily involved with the Murray Bushrangers under 18's as a development coach.

    We were speaking about the junior talent and then got talking about this year's trade period.

    Out of the blue he mentioned that apparently we've shown some interest in Josh Schache and have had chats to Josh and his management? 

    I would like to think I can trust his word purely that he's got contacts within recruiting circles and Josh being an ex bushie.

    I have own opinion on this and I honestly don't think it's the right fit even though we're lacking a key forward.

    They can't be serious.

    While he's not without some talent,  I don't see how acquiring Shache improves our list in any way, shape or form

    I reckon we would be in trouble if they didn't see it differently for Schache or any other player.

    I'd really love to know if we put any work into Wright, because he has been an absolute steal by Essendon.

    i was all over this that off season, had him above BBB due to his upside and age to grow with our group, have absolutely no grudges given BBB took us to a flag but geez we coulda used him, hindsight 20:20 given weid stagnation but would be more than handy right about now

    Was apparently seen having a French vanilla cappuccino with Mark Corrigan at a McCafe in Cranbourne. The club paid. It was part of a front ended contract offer.

    He’s probably a lovely guy. He’s just not cut out for AFL footy and that’s ok.

    If Schache came in to fill the depth spot left by Mitch Brown then I don't absolutely hate it tbh.

    He'd come in on minimum chips and would expect to play mostly VFL IMO.

    They can't all be zingers...

    Love the Primus quote

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
