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!

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
