Hmmmm....I dunno. 🤔

I still would rather take a chance on a 20 year old Jackson Callow.

But I guess we will wait and see if the Demons think it is worth giving Josh Schache a last shot at an AFL career? 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don’t know who this team is that the Bulldogs beat up on, but Schache looks like he has bulked up, significantly. Takes some nice overhead marks. If it’s Weid out, this isn’t a bad replacement. Maybe the penny will drop for him at a new club. Dogs are stocked for forwards. They don’t need him. 

To be fair, Weid has had days like that in the VFL probably on >5 occasions. Often against better opposition - including his memorable day out at Box Hill against the Hawks. 

These highlights were against Coburg Lions. They went 4-14 for the season and havent finished outside the bottom 4 since 2014 after losing their AFL affiliated team. 

A couple of nice marks at the end but the majority were relatively uncontested - his off the ground one in the square bizarrely rewarded his famous lack of intensity.

This guy has already changed clubs and the fresh voice didn't do anything. Weid gets the benefit of the doubt there. 

Doesn't excite me - but I'll get behind him if he joins 

Josh Schache certainly has talent still.

I think his issues are more psychological.

How you change your mindset and become a more aggressive player like a "Wayne Carey type" is a whole other issue.

His performances for Victoria Country Under 18s many years ago were impressive though.

Perhaps Mark "Choco" Williams will be able to get the best out of Josh Schache?

Some blokes just don’t have it. You’d be wasting Williams’ time.

Like he has with Weideman?

Once Chocco has finished with Schache, perhaps he could then turn his attention to the Russia -Ukraine conflict, hyperinflation, the worldwide cost of living crisis and the covid pandemic?

Can't see them both wearing our beloved red and blue next year. 😉

Not saying you can't change the kid's mindset but anything psychological is one heck of a project. Give me the right mindset over abundance of talent any day.

Don't quite understand the logic in trading Weid only to bring the Shach Attack in, but at the end of the day who really cares about either

I'd be guessing that Weid being in contract might be on $350-400K, whereas with Schache out of contract and seemingly on the scrap head - we might be looking at a delisted free agent not a trade - he might be on $100k or more less. Could they both turn it around with a change of clubs - maybe? But at least we'll be saving some $$ on the similar player.

Would be a bit sad if a highly touted no.2 pick is only on 100k or lower at 25 y.o for his sake. It's a side of the game we don't hear much about.

I think R&B is saying $100k less than the Weid eg $250 - $300k

Possibly, would make more sense.

Both filled with National Tiles and Kogan Mobile ads.

A summer training on Steven may will either make or break the guy….

Geez, this Schache bloke, who has some experience, reminds me of Ross Brewer - a very handy fwd flanker from the annals of old age. He has a similar build, height, mobility and kicks just as well once an opportunity is taken. With a bit of 'mongrel' instilled in his efforts ....

It's not psychological.

Ross Brewer! blast from the past there. Remember him kicking 5 or 6 Vs Fitzroy in his first year. when Stan Alves was captain.  In the category “almost v good” .. but he was only ever really just ok.  Went to the pies and kicked the winning goal in a semi  v Fitzroy 

Yeah look he hasn’t set the world on fire & just like Weid loads of potential but simply not hard enough at the ball & a bit scared of physical contact.

But maybe this is being Weid driven? He may want the change, need the new environment & he has 1 year left for us which if he stinks it up again like he has every other season will mean the end of his AFL career.Dons may have offered a multi year deal which even if he still stinks means he has a few more $ for a few extra years . Also unlike Freo we are not a club to stop a player from another option.

Looks like this one may not get done.

? Then surely we hold onto Weid.

Why's that mate? Heard something?

The trade embargo is on now, so even though clubs are talking through deals nothing can be actually done until 3pm.

Hope not he is a downgrade on Sam Weideman - can't see why we would even entertain this

I was there at Box Hill that day. He was magnificent - pack marks, long goals. I've been a fan ever since. That he has only rarely lit up as a Demon Forward - a la 2018 Finals - is a great disappointment for me.

How is it a downgrade?

Both similar player really. You could even say Schache has been more productive at AFL level then Weideman.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • 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.
