 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!!!

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
