I lean towards SWYL's thinking on this bloke.  At least I won't have to worry about him living up to my expectations as I have none. 

Would rather have kept the Weed. At least he knows the game plan

    Brewer was incredibly soft, a turn over merchant, and embodied dark dark ages of the late 70s.

    Don't agree with that summation. He was handy, reliable and yes, the days were dark. In such a weak team, he was quite often a face-saver, finding space, taking marks, playing on to teammates, kicking goals when our scoring was making us all spew in the Southern Stand, and he proved to be a week-to-week asset without being a champion.

    I now owe him a box of Northerns....

    Did you confirm they had to have any liquid in the stubbies?

    If not give him a slab of your empties.

    I’m not saying it will happen but softness is one thing you can fix. Schache was a baby at Brisbane and traded to the Dogs before he really failed. 

    He’s now failed at the dogs and genuinely on his last chance.

    Clarry’s one of his best mates
    Choco is choco 
    Troy Chaplin just won assistant coach of the year and if I was Goody and Co I’m giving Chappy a special summer project.

    We all hope for the best. But Schache just doesn’t give that extra 1%. Maybe Clarry can sort him out upstairs 

    But i won’t be holding my breath over it

    Given our draft hand for next year we'll never use a future 4th so the cost is nothing and he replaces a player that got us pick 37.  Most don't rate either.  Good trading I say.

    Agree . I trust Taylor to be able to pick up a good prospect and Weid and Schache are on par at this point in their careers

    The way we bomb in it to the forwards we need a "brute". Someone to stand under it and push/keep everyone away from the ball drop.

    If we can be clinical, then players like Schache and BBB will flourish.

    Hope a change of forward strategy comes along with Josh.

    Poor Schache.  He's been a Demon for five minutes and has already assumed the mantle of whipping boy.

    Let's reserve judgement until we see how he goes next year.

    Big difference here is the dogs are stacked for forwards. While we are devoid for forwards and weid could never get a game. Came cheap and has a role he can immediately fill. 

    doing what exactly??

    mitch brown / adam tomlinson replacement

    Mitch Brown replacement.

    We need to keep Tomlinson - on the wing, where he presents some real opportunities (if only the defenders - engorged in having the ball eventually land in Demons hands in the left forward pocket - kept an eye on his movements to space and utilised his good kicking).

    We've traded Coke for Pepsi.

    Depending on the day, who you're talking to, and the water purity in the region, the value could go either way

    Im pretty open to him coming in. He is a 25 year old who could be just what we need to mirror Fritta. Have JVR or Tom Mac at full forward the other at CHF and the kozzie running around their ankles i think it looks good. He is athletic enough to get his own ball and can kick a goal. It is a wait and see but if BBB is not fully fit and firing then i think this will be ok. Add grundy and max rotating forward and it is an ok looking forward line.

    Could he play in defense and Petty shifted forward?

    I hope Petty goes forward. Has some mongrel but afraid he might do a "Bugg", lose his cool.

    I hope they use him as a flexible tall back up, ruck, forward or back

     My oath, such a change in our forward strategy is critical - but it needs to be more than just one change.

    I reckon it's more like Aldi Cola for Tab, but the analogy is probably right.

    1. Getting more possessions than the Weid could ever imagine without half-heartedness and preservation imperatives.

    2. Usefully leading for the ball in multiple directions - his kicking is terrific from all angles.

    3. Taking the odd mark in the danger zone with 'thinking' teammates doing their best to block/occupy/negate opponents.

    4. Scoring a few more than Weid could ever accomplish.

    5. Staying in the critical zone for effective responses - not running out of the way of potential harm, nor standing still to keep 'safe'.

    6. Bringing the ball to ground for the smalls' skillsets.

    pick 37 is okay but Schache is not. The recruiters must have dropped some mean acid this morning for brekky. Bizarre beyond belief.

    Where is Cale Morton ?

    And I bet he will be on a less coin? Could be wrong tho.

    • 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?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
