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.

    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?

    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

    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 ....

    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.

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

    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.

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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
