Holy lord.

Go to YouTube and have a look at 3 or so highlight packages. Not a single contested mark or strong body work lol. He came cheap as chips so who cares, but Jesus this guy is terrible.

    Gee, give the guy a chance. Number 2 draft pick and good enough to be selected in a team playing in an AFL grand final.

    Lets see how he goes. Loved Sam W  but he could be an upgrade on Sam. You don't get picked number 2 in the draft for nothing. Kicking style for goal very much like Bayley F.

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

    Well I think he seems to have been earmarked, at least on this forum, as the whipping boy successor to Sam, who took over form JW4.

    Now he's a Dee, it definitely should have been a free in the GF last year when Brayshaw cannoned into his back...

    I reckon we were lucky Schache didn't get a free in the third quarter of the GF when Brayshaw steamrolled him.

    He’s a nice kick for goal at least we won’t have to close our eyes when he has a set shot: unlike Max or Trac!

    What's the point of this? May as well have just hung on to Weid, Schache is basically the same player but with less physicality. I don't get it. I don't see him getting much time in the seniors at all.

    Weve swapped a Number 9 pick with 62 goals in 59 games for a Number 2 pick with 78 goals in 72 games, saved 100k and upgraded 2 x 4th rounders to an early 3rd rounder?

    Whats not to like?

    To be honest, I think he would be on more than Weid was, as Schache signed at the end of 2019 after he scored 24 goals from 14 games as a 22 yr old. They wouldn’t have offered Weid much last year when he renewed and due to the very late draft pick we gave up for Josh, I suspect we’re taking on all his salary which is more than what he’s obviously worth

    The point is that we got pick 37 for Weideman now and next year when he’s OOC we would get zilch. 
    Schace cost us nothing and is unrelated to Weideman.

    I think that is about right.

    Added to that, both players would not be considered to be in our best 23, but Schache is 4 cms taller than Weid and possibly a bit more versatile, having played at both ends of the ground and helping out in the ruck.

    he was out of contract this year, likely to be delisted after their recent high profile draft and trade/fa recruits and we've grabbed him for a pick in the 60s even the doggies are unlikely to use. we get to choose the coin and the contract length. and im sure he woulda said yes to our first offer because it was us or the scrapheap

    The club has brought Schache in as a back-up (forward, back or sometimes in the ruck)

    Low cost and versatile but not first choice.  And there's probably at least 10 list spots that are regarded as not being starters.  Role players and back-up role players, insurance for certain positions (for example, the ruck or KF, KB), development types, draftees and project players

    However I did notice that Josh picked up 15+ possessions against us in a 3 match stretch not so long ago.  So we've noticed him and now acquired him

    Chances are Gawn and/or Grundy will miss a game or 2 so we'll need some sort of back-up in the ruck.  Or we might want to manage/rest either player periodically

    It was either that or draft a beanpole 18yo late in the draft (and we haven't been going down that path in recent times ... for any sort of late picks) 

    I wish him well

    You’re 100% right mate. I thought he had 1 year left for some reason.

    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. 

     

    He was certainly not reliable. Not sure where you boys get your rose coloured glasses from. Nor was he handy. A week to week asset is rubbish, more so weak to weak. Absolute spud in the dark ages.

    • 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?
