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.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
