Its a long season and I very much doubt TMac and BBB at 30+ will be right to play all 22 games + finals (hopefully)...so we will need Josh at some stage 

Yes.  Highly likely one of them will get injured or drop form. Schache has an opportunity to prove he is more than just a depth player as some call him.

If we are being honest he is like Weid but with a bit more versatility and adaptability. Can play fwd or back He can actually take a one grab mark which was Weid's downfall IMO so all in all its a slight upgrade

Yes.  He's an upgrade on Weideman.  I think his best position is half-back.

I think that part is innate, very difficult to develop it

I used to know someone connected with the Bulldogs FD who told me that Schache was the least competitive AFL footballer he had seen. Sounds harsh, hope he's proven wrong at a 3rd club

Yep, but two clubs have already let him go.  That's a bit of red flag for me.

Red and blue flag sounds just right

Watts was ahead of your other failures to compete. He at least had skill to back up what attributes he had.

Which really made him all the more disappointing

Not a lot of love for Josh’s debut for the red & the blue.

A return of 3 & 4 goals in his only outings for Casey has me optimistic on a strong showing against the Kangas.

Good luck Josh - 3rd time lucky

 

The low expectations could surprise a few. I’m glad he doesn’t have his No 2 draft pick over hanging him. I hope he does well.

I hope he kicks a few, he has talent and can play in multiple positions. He played well against Jackson last year and had the better of him in the ruck and when Jackson went forward.

Good luck to the lad. Weids is playing like a man at the bombers so I have hope Shaq will reinvent himself too.  

Who would have thought we'd line up without Ben Brown or Tmac in the F50 without injuries being an issue. I'm stoked that the FD are taking a look at the whole squad and aren't scarred to mix things up.

T Mac has been bog ordinary this seaon bar 1 game vs Meth coke magoos! He wont be around next year. BBB was excellent sans his back injury and should go around for another year again. Both Jake Melksham and Hibbo will not be around next year. And by the way I hope Shacky Attacky kicks a bag this week.

Was expecting he would have beefed up his upper body if not by his 2nd club, then his 3rd club. Needs the extra kgs in my opinion. Apparently mfc asked him to also but can't see any  evidance of it at training. His form in vfl late last year and now this year has been exceptional though. Good time to take a look at him.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
