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.

    The replay shows Schache kicking 5, van Rooyen 2 and singles to Verrall, Jefferson and Grey.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
