I watched the first half of the July 20/21 Dees v Doggies game yesterday and the Doggies had Schache playing in the backline and back up ruck, he spent a lot of the time matching up with Dogga.

I'd have to say he eclipsed Dogga in the ruck and played a pretty useful game. 

He's got a good pair of hands, can take a grab and kick straight, which is a bonus. He may be a little light at 94K's but is a good height and looks more comfortable playing in a defensive role. As has been mentioned if he can free up Petty to go forward, that could solve a couple of problems.

 

Yep, there's some talent in that package. It appears that these attributes (and perhaps, motivations) were not elevated for consistency (and perhaps, desire) by his former coaching team - we have the goods in this regard and so, a bigger year of footy is expected from the young man.

    I guess one could ask is Goody et al more likely to motivate a wavered than Bevo et al ?

    I am not really thinking of Goody; moreso, it is the rest of the coaching team in which I would expect that level and intensity, personalisation for the benefit of the team  (including knowledge and abilities) of player tailoring for a purpose or two.

    That’s a good article.

    Fingers crossed he can become a solid key forward and as his manager suggests, fill the holes that Tmac and Brown will leave whilst allowing van Rooyen and Jefferson time to develop.

    He could become an absolute bargain. Ball is in your Court Josh. 
    put in maximum application and earn a spot in the side. 
    I remember a game in Ballarat where Schache was playing Half Back. Took some strong marks. He can play, consistency is what counts.

    100% agreed.

    Josh Schache is a bit like Sam Weideman in that he has never shown his true potential. He has the talent but is still a bit too nice in the way that he plays. However, Josh still has age on his side.

    I would implore Josh to keep "bulking up" in the gym (his arms are still far too skinny) and also consider going to the MMA classes that Jack Viney is doing with Tom Mitchell (the former Hawk now a Magpie) to get better at tackling and have a more aggressive mindset during games.

    The question in my mind here is that tbh I’m not sure I can see him playing more for us this year then he did fr the doggies. As I see it in 23  Tmac, Fritsch and Brown are first choice. JVR knocking hard and schache next in line. So, at least for  this year we would need to be 2 down of our starting  3 talls ( if Fritsch can be called that) for him to play. 2024 is a different story.

    Been thinking for years this should be mandatory for all players, though Boxing was the original sport.

    Might have been around B Grgic's time at the club

    Would love to hear more about that, must be doing a lot of grappling focussed disciplines like BJJ.

    More than likely BBB will be “managed” quite a few times during the H&A season, giving Josh and / or JVR an opening if they can put in consistent performances at VFL.   They both need to show that they are up and ready to go, and once in they need to give their all to retain their spot. Competition is good for all involved.

    One thing in Josh’s favour is that he is 200cm and can provide relief forward, back and ruck. Good luck Josh continue to build your tank, strength and physicality you could be the Ace up our sleeve at the pointy end of the season.!!!!

    Good on him, to kick 5 in the 2’s is what he must do every week (1-2 goals a Quarter) His chance will come. As long as he is Hungry. 
     

    is he worth playing against the Dogs?

    Just imagine if both Hunter and Schache played well in Round 1
    Beveridge’s Press Conference would be pure gold 

    . Schache can play, it’s all upstairs for him

    Never noticed before - he's got a strange set shot kicking action.  Really stools down a bit before the ball drop.  Not a criticism as he seems to slot it through the middle well enough, so whatever works for him.  Just looks a bit weird.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
