 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!!!

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
