I saw him kick 7 for the Lions at the Gabba the year before last - they had huge wraps on him then.ย  Daniher in and Fort as 2nd ruck behind Big O has kept him in the two's.

Lots of talent....opportunity and development - not sure

ย 

In the VFL you mean.ย

Done a little sleuth on Brisbane bigfooty and they donโ€™t care about losing him. Think heโ€™s a bit soft like Schache, though apparently he is not scared of his own shadow like Schache. Future 4th and see how he goes in a new environment.

Asked my Brisbane supporting mate who saidย 

  • Very good standard VFL player, decent AFL depth player at best
  • Athletic former basketballer
  • Forward who can provide relief in ruck
  • Heโ€™s def > schache

no chance we are giving a second rounder for a bloke that played zero games this year despite McStay leaving and will very likely play zero games in 2024

Want to wager that DD. In what world are you living in. Who is Maxy's ย back up then?ย 

if he was here this year he would have been either in our Semi team or as Sub instead of Schache. He like Schache can play a key position so is more versatile than Brody.ย

Yep Levi and they say he could be better than will, lions will be a force for a long timeย 

good cheap move you'd think. I wonder if we're looking to bring in a more A/B grade talent this year or next based off this move. it'll be interesting to see.ย

Might not be the case, unless we acquire additional later picks - trading a F2, F3 or F4 would prevent us from being able to use our F1 in any deals, to my understanding. Donโ€™t want to hamstring ourselves & foul any potential moves.ย 

As a result, a move for Fullarton might be left until late in the period.

i meant if he stayed at Lions he wouldnโ€™t play next year, hence not worth much to them

he should get a look in with us especially if we donโ€™t trade in another ruck/fwd


you are all gonna hate me for this. iโ€™ve got his nickname.ย 

Weโ€™ve had JLo, nowโ€ฆ. ToFu

irony is he loves a steak

All I know about him is what is what Iโ€™ve read in this thread. Appears to fit the profile of what weโ€™re looking for. Should be a straight forward trade. Get it done quickly and move on to bigger targets.ย

Heโ€™s going to need to work very hard to play a senior game. He does have that TDK look going for him so who knows.ย 

Future 4th would be preferred- then we can still trade our F1st.

Understand now DD. Yes if we don't get another ruck/forward in Tom will be very handy IMO. Also can play CHF or FF.ย

really?ย  ย any idea why?

i wont guess as I'll get banned

PC guess - he only plays 4% of games?

Nothing more than someone to contest the ruck should Max get injured -ย  ย don't think he's anything more.

So we re-signed Schache for?

PSV have always had a great scouting network and being owned by Philips used to trade for some of the best young overseas talent with electrical equipment and white goods. When the original Ronaldo ended up in Eindhoven (aka The City of Light) a set of floodlights went the other way to Brazilian side Cruzeiro.ย 

Your tracksuit story is better though.ย ย

I wonder who's ahead in the depth chart and in line for a game if Max goes down - Schache or Fullarton.

neither Goody will make another bizarre decision

Dont know why we bother Max wont let anybody play

Why do people keep fixating on this?ย 

Schache is 25 yo kpf/ruck depth that has a reasonable amount of AFL experience but isn't necessarily asking for too much more. It's very hard to find. Even if he plays the year at Casey - he takes the best defender and helps them win, all of which helps our other young players develop.ย 

For the 1s he's a total emergency backup who can at least follow team structures and at best, could neutralise an opposition player.ย 

Not every player we sign or re-sign needs to be best 22 or even best 30. It takes a whole list to get this stuff done.ย

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven Mayย 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
