Two words: 

Destination. Club. 

In this case we are the 'Love Schache'

 

Schache kicked 27 goals in his last 7 VFL games including bags of 7,7 and 5. As a last spot low cost cover who could fill multiple roles if required I have heard worse ideas if Weid is traded out.

Can you elaborate? Was it just some random caller? 

Just a passing comment from Julian De Stoop in reference to Sam Edmund’s news that we’re looking at Schache.

The only negative thing about Schache is he is no good at footy

Is this the chap who is mates with Clarrie?

Yes

If we trade Weid it's worth a crack. 

There's no other half decent key position players available and we've already said we are only using 2 draft picks plus I assume upgrading Chandler to the primary list.

I'm also all for getting Hunter if it means we can delist Baker, he is horrid.

 

I’m in on it I was keen on him as an under 18 and he has only just turned 25 I don’t mind it

I don't think what I said was anything everyone isn't thinking....

Even at VFL level he looks ordinary.

It follows then that if everyone is thinking it, you don't need to say it.  Aint the internet grand!

Exit Weid.

Enter Schache.

The world get [censored] sillier everyday!!!!!

Sounds like It's a net zero. Casey will soon find out. He did have a few good games back but given Bulldogs lack in that area not sure he could slot in to free up Petty to go forward? Beverage seems to have his favorites so could be he was more deserving of a have than others. I'm not against it particularly if it costs us same or less than we get for Weideman

Only time will tell I suppose but I won't be betting my lefty on him becoming a regular AFL feature.

Fills an obvious need if the Weid departs. DL whipping boy!

Lachie Hunter no hope to come to the Dees then?

He was spotted at the Best and Fairest after party any truth to this?

We owe it to Weid to let him explore his oportunities at the dons where he likely gets more looks in and schache can play the mb38 role for a year or two until the big fish lands

Just there for the free booze perhaps? 

 

I don't have an issue with Sache as cheap back filler. Essentially a Mitch Brown replacement. I just don't know why you'd trade Weideman for peanuts only to end up with an equally underwhelming option.

Unless we think Weideman will leave next year and we will get even less than third round pick for him perhaps? 

Would prefer we take a chance on Jackson Callow.

But if Clayton Oliver can teach his old mate Josh Schache a bit of "mongrel" then I am not against this option as a potential replacement for Sam Weideman.

Anyway, let's see if Sam Weideman ends up at the Bombers first.

 

I think he would be a good fit for us. Chocco is great at developing players and the attitude of our boys is incredibly professional, whereas a lot of the bulldogs players seem to be about that party lifestyle.

If he would only cost us a late 3rd or late 4th round pick then why the heck not.

Schache used to go to the school I worked at. He was not known for having a team first attitude. Was known for being a bit self involved.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
