I hope this isn't true,  Schache isn't even a VFL level player

    If we're losing Weideman then we need some form of forward tall depth.

    Id prefer a speculative draft than him.

    Whilst I agree we need another tall,  we're not as bad off as people think.

    We still have JVR and Tommo (who can play def and push Petty fwd).

    I do think we need another ruck though,  even if it's from the state levels

    Don't mind it.

    If Weed is leaving we need depth and has still got a lot of time on his side.

    I know he's shown diddly squat so far but could be a free hit and depth.

    We'd be paying very little for him.

    Yes but why replace Weideman with someone 10 times less capable? It's not like Weideman is taking up a heap of cap space.

    Sobering thought for those considering trading up in the draft to get a 'promising' tall...Josh Schache, pick 2 in the 2015 draft.

    The Josh Bruce rumour was a smokescreen. We were after the "big fish" Schache the whole time.

    10 times less capable ?

    One couldn't split their careers to date.

    I find your reasoning Schache at best…

    In fairness I would say Schache has shown more at AFL level then Weid has and even at junior level Schache was more advanced then Weid.

    Kicked 24 goals off 14 games back in 2018.

    Either way, I understand your point but I think it's on point in terms of replacing 1 for 1.

    Some decisions that clubs make really make you think they dont quite get it. This is ridiculous and would be a backwards step.

    No issue if he arrives for nothing, gets paid KFC wages, and is happy to sit behind the 'break in case of emergency' glass at Casey.

    I would say it is more the supporters don't get it.

    But that's the thing. Weid is contracted, so we don't have to trade him. At least Weid showed that he was competitive as a ruckman at VFL level.

    I haven't seen anything of Schache as a 2nd ruckman. But I would have thought a depth ruckman in Weid is more important than a depth forward/backman in Schache.

    We seem to be downgrading this trade period.

    Out Weed

    In poorer version of Weed Josh  Schache

    Out Jackson 

    In pick 13 and future picks

    As a replacement for Weideman i think this actually pretty sound.   He is a 3rd ruck back up.  May just take his chance at a new club, who knows!?  It is a free stab, at a talented tall, who will come cheap, who may surprise.  If it happens hopefully plays his best footy with us!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
