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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
