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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
