 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. 

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?

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!!!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
