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.

Rubbish!

It started when the proposal was first raised. No one gets 5 minutes start here.  😁

    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

     

    I'd say this is more a RC Cola for LA Ice kinda deal.

    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.

    and when did Schache do any of the above examples?

    They may have him earmarked for that third tall back spot if Petty goes forward

    Status quo maybe. 
     

    Maybe the change to our forward half game could result in a dramatic improvement?

    Weids certainly couldn’t benefit from our high balls. 

    Not many blokes do benefit from high balls. Lower the eyes, lower the passing, I say.

    They never stopped complaining about Weidemann - until he apparently became a potentially champion ruckman (all of a sudden).

    I have low expectations but you never know. Depth acquisition. Cost peanuts so no need for posters to get worked up

    best of luck Josh

    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.

    Spot on. Good deal for Weidemann.

    Wild idea, maybe he flourishes at the dees and we get behind him to do so!

    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 

    It's changing so Josh can learn the brand new 2023 fast paced and quick running with ball movement so a busy Xmas for Josh.

    All those people who said our team would have fired if we still had Watts up forward this is your chance to shine with a similar player.

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

    Spot on I reckon Jaded.  He was OOC and would be on base plus incentives.  Sam would have been on more, perhaps not much, but more.

    For an MFC career that has lasted 5 minutes he's still done better than most!

    If we're losing Weideman then we need some form of forward tall depth.

    yes But he is worse that the Weid Whats to be gained

    We'll stand a much better chance with a forward coach who knows what they're doing!

    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 ?

    No he is a F4th , we still have 37 up our sleeve, he has cost us nothing and we picked up 37 for Weid.

    I read that Schache is 200cm and turned 25 in August.
    Big men take longer to hit their potential.

    Schache will be good for us.

    That is genuinely funny. The lack of eye contact is the give-away.

    Happy to back the FD in on this, they really rated him by the sound of it.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
