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 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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
