Ā I believe you didnā€™t mean to start anything on Schache, fr_ap.

The thing is, there are some posters who simply donā€™t rate our coach and any opportunity to express as much is jumped on. Pretty much any mention of ā€œSchacheā€ or ā€œsubā€ or our semi last year, among a whole host of triggers, will see these people absolutely in their element.Ā 

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

    Itā€™s not othersā€™ views with which I take issueā€¦ itā€™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. Iā€™m still smarting from being unnecessarily rudely taken to task on this subject on several other occasions.Ā

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

    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?Ā Ā

    I wouldnā€™t bother, BDA. Tomorrow weā€™ll have a new training thread, one which hopefully wonā€™t be driven into the ditch, and that should spell the end of the BS. Hashtag not holding my breath.Ā

    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 šŸ˜Ā

    Willy sent me a PM. He believes the unused sub wasnā€™t an issue.Ā

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

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

    A Sub for one player in a final ?

    No thanks never again.

    They can change their mind if they actually want to but thatā€™s the problem, one person can be so stubborn.Ā 

    So can Ā a number of D/Lers who are blinkered by saying Schache is no good and wouldnā€™t have made any difference. As John Kennedy said ā€œDo something ā€œ Our bench did nothing and I am struggling to understand how the defensible are/can defend the indefensible!!!Ā

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itā€™s time to discuss this weekā€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverā€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line ā€¦ Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
