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

Tim Lamb’s general vibe to me was, well I guess Schache is an ok replacement  for Weid. Not a lot of enthusiasm

    Welcome Josh Schache 200cm, didn’t realise you are that tall, hopefully you can  play a role on hF line or next to JvR if TMac or BBB are injured or out of form or CHF / FF at Casey whilst you provide that critical depth for our mighty Dees. Good Luck young man you are surely going to need it.!!! Thank god that Clarry is a bestie, follow his lead and who knows??

    From AFL trade update:

    Dees' busy trade period

    Melbourne only began chatting to Josh Schache three days before completing a trade for the former No.2 draft pick.

    The Demons got the ball rolling early on Wednesday's trade deadline day by executing deals that farewelled Sam Weideman to Essendon and welcomed Schache from the Western Bulldogs.

    Speaking on Continental Tyres AFL Trade Radio, Melbourne's list manager Tim Lamb said the deals were inked, only agreeing to Weideman's trade request once they had a "similar type player" on the hook. 

    "We spoke with Josh on Sunday," Lamb said.

    "Josh is a player with great versatility. He's 200cm, he's an elite runner, really well skilled, (he) can play forward, back, ruck, he's really versatile.

    "With Mitch Brown retiring, Majak Daw retiring, we've lost a little bit of depth in our talls department."

    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.

    I wouldn't say whipping boy, I'd say the majority are underwhelmed by his recruitment due to his past performances.

    In fact, I think so little of his abilities that I'll be quite complimentary if he does anything

    Probably won't do much forward but handy because he can play in defence and ruck as well

    We're his third club and he's done nothing of note at his first two.

    To be honest I'd rather have kept Mitch Brown on a fraction of the salary.

    He was out of contract. How much do you think we are paying for a “flexible bit of depth in the talls department” as Lamb put it? Kicked 25 goals in his last 7 games in VFL and is a 25 year old break glass in case of emergency flexible option. We basically traded Weid for Schache Pick 37 and some extra $$ in the kitty is my guess. The other picks are all ones we wont use,

    Welcome to Demonland, Josh. Always loved you. I hope I wasn't out of line with that crack about a spewing Nibbler.

    I was sceptical too but we've traded Weid for a pick in the 30's and recruited an equivalent depth replacement for a future 4th rounder

    Absurdly good business

    Don’t know anything about Schache but 4 cm is 4cm, a number 2 pick is a number 2 pick, only 25 and a positive trade. I liked Weid but right behind Schache now. Any friend Of Clarrie is ok by me.

    This is just Tim Lamb’s gift to all of you who were all primed to be outraged about the Grundy trade and now need an outlet, as that one unexpectedly (in your minds) went good. Some people just always need to be furious and critical about something.

    I’m not one of them. Welcome Josh. Hope you are able to turn things around at the MFC.

    A replacement for Mitch Brown and Majak Daw who cost us nothing in the trade and probably very little in salary. If we get anything more out of him it'll be a bonus. At the very least he'll help keep Casey competitive - which isn't to be scoffed at as it's our feeder team and success breeds success.

    We too!

    I remember this kid in the U18s. He has a beautiful left foot with great kicking action.

    BTW he's now 202cm

    At 25yo he gets another chance with us. May turn out to be our Money Ball

    Go Dees

    Him and Oliver grew up playing junior representative footy in regional Victoria.

    They're very close mates and so are their families.

    I remember when I had a fair bit of involvement in Schache's last year in the Murray Bushrangers and we all thought he was going to be a future star forward of the competition in years to come.

    His work rate and especially endurance levels was pretty elite as a roaming CHF in the same style as Travis Cloke.

    The talent is certainly there and unlike some I'm bullish about him considering he's been at a club with poor culture (doggies) where there's been some culture issue which has resulted in a fair few of their current and ex players all seem to taking personal leave at certain stages.

    Fresh start, new voice and a coaching staff that is big in wrapping their arms around instead of the opposite.

    • 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.

      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?
