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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
