 I believe you didn’t mean to start anything on Schache, fr_ap.

The thing is, there are some posters who simply don’t rate our coach and any opportunity to express as much is jumped on. Pretty much any mention of “Schache” or “sub” or our semi last year, among a whole host of triggers, will see these people absolutely in their element. 

It's Ok to not rate the coach we all have a view good bad indifferent

No body can say with sureity the coaching staff do everything well

They don't and some here are more troubled by it than others. All views are relevent

It’s not others’ views with which I take issue… it’s the constant, mind-numbing repetition of these views as well as the use of any thread (no matter the original topic) that is the source of my exasperation. Along with the poor attempts to mask their dislike of Goody, in the guise of a perfectly appropriate footy discussion.

BTW, I appreciate your calm and inoffensive reply. I’m still smarting from being unnecessarily rudely taken to task on this subject on several other occasions.

Gawn went into the game injured with a broken toe. Itywasnt a break glass move it was an insurance move with not knowing if Gawn was going to be able to get through the game. Gawn played the game out, Schache didnt get on.

Can people now see why Schache was sub back up ruckman?

I reckon we should change the name of the thread. Title suggestions "the Schache Delusion" of perhaps "the Schache myth"

I wouldn’t bother, BDA. Tomorrow we’ll have a new training thread, one which hopefully won’t be driven into the ditch, and that should spell the end of the BS. Hashtag not holding my breath.

Why, I was gonna suggest.

To sub, or not to sub, that is the question:
Whether 'tis Nibler in the mind to suffer
The T Macs and Shacks of outrageous fortune,
 
I am clearly bored 😐

Willy sent me a PM. He believes the unused sub wasn’t an issue.

A team is 23 not 22 and despite all the hoo har it makes sense  to make the option of using the Sub. In any circumstances. 

If you fans think like the MC and Coaches what hope have we got . Blinded by lack of creativity. 

A Sub for one player in a final ?

No thanks never again.

They can change their mind if they actually want to but that’s the problem, one person can be so stubborn. 

So can  a number of D/Lers who are blinkered by saying Schache is no good and wouldn’t have made any difference. As John Kennedy said “Do something “ Our bench did nothing and I am struggling to understand how the defensible are/can defend the indefensible!!!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
