Two words: 

Destination. Club. 

In this case we are the 'Love Schache'

 

Schache kicked 27 goals in his last 7 VFL games including bags of 7,7 and 5. As a last spot low cost cover who could fill multiple roles if required I have heard worse ideas if Weid is traded out.

Can you elaborate? Was it just some random caller? 

Just a passing comment from Julian De Stoop in reference to Sam Edmund’s news that we’re looking at Schache.

The only negative thing about Schache is he is no good at footy

Is this the chap who is mates with Clarrie?

Yes

If we trade Weid it's worth a crack. 

There's no other half decent key position players available and we've already said we are only using 2 draft picks plus I assume upgrading Chandler to the primary list.

I'm also all for getting Hunter if it means we can delist Baker, he is horrid.

 

I’m in on it I was keen on him as an under 18 and he has only just turned 25 I don’t mind it

I don't think what I said was anything everyone isn't thinking....

Even at VFL level he looks ordinary.

It follows then that if everyone is thinking it, you don't need to say it.  Aint the internet grand!

Exit Weid.

Enter Schache.

The world get [censored] sillier everyday!!!!!

Sounds like It's a net zero. Casey will soon find out. He did have a few good games back but given Bulldogs lack in that area not sure he could slot in to free up Petty to go forward? Beverage seems to have his favorites so could be he was more deserving of a have than others. I'm not against it particularly if it costs us same or less than we get for Weideman

Only time will tell I suppose but I won't be betting my lefty on him becoming a regular AFL feature.

Fills an obvious need if the Weid departs. DL whipping boy!

Lachie Hunter no hope to come to the Dees then?

He was spotted at the Best and Fairest after party any truth to this?

We owe it to Weid to let him explore his oportunities at the dons where he likely gets more looks in and schache can play the mb38 role for a year or two until the big fish lands

Just there for the free booze perhaps? 

 

I don't have an issue with Sache as cheap back filler. Essentially a Mitch Brown replacement. I just don't know why you'd trade Weideman for peanuts only to end up with an equally underwhelming option.

Unless we think Weideman will leave next year and we will get even less than third round pick for him perhaps? 

Would prefer we take a chance on Jackson Callow.

But if Clayton Oliver can teach his old mate Josh Schache a bit of "mongrel" then I am not against this option as a potential replacement for Sam Weideman.

Anyway, let's see if Sam Weideman ends up at the Bombers first.

 

I think he would be a good fit for us. Chocco is great at developing players and the attitude of our boys is incredibly professional, whereas a lot of the bulldogs players seem to be about that party lifestyle.

If he would only cost us a late 3rd or late 4th round pick then why the heck not.

Schache used to go to the school I worked at. He was not known for having a team first attitude. Was known for being a bit self involved.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
