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.

Welcome to Demonland Schache. Get ready, they're going to be coming for you week after week..

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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
