Apparently Josh Schache from the Western Bulldogs is "desperate" to play for a new AFL Club.

Could we consider him?

He's a former number 2# AFL Draft pick from 2015.

Originally from the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup and is friends with Clayton Oliver.

Even won the Larke Medal at the State Under 18 Championships back in 2015 too.

He is 199cms tall and can be played in defence or up forward.

Frustratingly, Josh really hasn't "gone on" with his career but a change of environment may do him good?

He is still only 25 years old and may be a handy addition to our list?

Anyway, I am interested in knowing your thoughts on Josh?

🤮🤮🤮🤮
 

He is soft and uncompetitive

Here's one to get your knickers in a knot.

My son supports North ( I know what can I say, my late father recruited him) and came home angry believing North will trade their pick 1. His North connection (unnamed) tells him that North will get Lobbe and Acres and possibly a future first-rounder for their pick 1 which will be traded to Freo who will then use it to trade for Jackson. That would mean MFC get to pick 1.

I immediately called bulltish but he is adamant that his mate always gets good mail. North need players not first-year recruits in his opinion.

There is no chance are giving up pick 1 for a deal that includes Lobb and Acres

While I agree that he hasn't shown much at Carlton, I reckon that's Carlton playing him out of position and developing him poorly.

Reckon we could turn him around.

Stocker will be lucky to be picked up by anyone

I'm in full agreement.

Hayden Young is going to be an absolute champion of the game. An absolute champion. His composure in his first final as a 20/21 year old was first class. Imagine the highs this kid is going to reach in his prime years of 23-28. Not to mention he's had a fabulous third season of football. 

We weren't the only club to overlook him but hindsight will say we made the wrong call for a multitude of reasons. 

Young is currently a better player than Jackson, and will also end up being the better player.

Jackson's had a mostly woeful season and probably won't feature in the top 15 of the best and fairest.

 

Although I think Young is a good player but saying he is going to be a champion and we made the wrong call is ridiculous.  Jackson upside is far and above Young’s and Jackson has also shown more than Young over his first 3 years.

I think we should make a massive play for Georgiades…but we would surely need to be offering Port the same as what we’re expecting from Freo?  

You are joking aren’t you? The upside of Jackson is far and above of that of Georgiades

Should be dropped for Weideman next week.

Jackson is stealing valuable ruck minutes off the best ruckman in the league and you’d back Weid over Jackson as a mostly stay at home forward.

😬🤦🏼‍♂️

Do you think injury has contributed to that? 

More than likely I’d say

He got tagged by Clarke

Salem has had a very average year by his standards

Is it time to bite the bullet and bring in the extra tall? Weideman/JVR

Dunstan to also come in and release Petracca to play majority up forward?

I’m not convinced Dunstan is the answer. If you make a change here, I reckon they bring in Chandler, move Sparrow to the middle, Brayshaw back to half back and Salem out.

Salem is badly out of form.  I’m not much for wholesale changes but I think Bowey comes in for Salem and JVR for Melksham.   Brisbane backs without Adams are not big interceptors, so Melkshams role is not required next week imo.

I think Harmes is very lucky. I'm confident it was inadvertent, but his arm was raised at the last minute, although perhaps as much in self-defence as anything else.

He hit him in the chest, nothing much in it

Out. Melksham

In.Chandler.

If Harmes is suspended then Dunstan.

No chance this happens. If Melksham goes out then a tall will come in. 

Cmon Dees!!!! 💪

What’s Tomlinsons value?

G'day all!

It's that time of the year again! Cue the mandatory Melbourne finals pump up video! Very happy with how this one turned out!

Feel free to share any other retrospective/pump up/hype videos that you come across here.

Go Dees!

That’s brilliant!!

I’ll always remember his goal against the Eagles  to seal our finals spot

Unbelievable 

Willie Rioli gets 2 year ban for failing to comply with urine test - was drug free anyway. 

Essendon - banned for drug misuse

 Carlton - fined lose picks for draft. Violations. 
 

 

Cmon man! Hardly on the same level and your statement about Rioli being drug free is ridiculous.

I love the Carlton supporter in the crowd saying get f%@$ed 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think Dodoro has been reasonable at picking new talent. However, he doesn't seem to know how to manage the trade and list management components of the job. My suspicion is that Josh Mahoney and Dodoro may have a testy relationship which will see one of them leave as part of this upheaval.

Dodo has no idea

Will cop it for this but I’d seriously consider bringing Weid for Jackson. I think we’re really struggling with our ruck combo at the moment. We’re playing Max forward too much because Jackson gives us nothing inside 50. But Max isn’t scoring enough and although Jackson is rucking a lot more minutes he’s not as good a ruckman as Max so we’re not as potent in the middle.

Weid is at least a forward who chops out in the ruck which would improve our balance. He would offer more than Jackson forward and force Max to take more ruck minutes, both of which I think are positive.

Otherwise, Spargo was putrid, Neal-Bullen continues to make poor decisions and Sparrow had no impact. Would probably bring Harmes in at a minimum to tag Neale and look at a small forward who might occasionally trouble the scorers.

The problem is Weid doesn’t actually touch the ball or the impact the game in any way shape or form.  I thought Jackson’s game was great last night

MFCSS rubs true

 

We are 2nd on the ladder with a round and a half to go for 2022. Yes our form isn't as strong leading into finals as last year. Yes our best footy is still the best in the competition, despite not showing often enough

I for one am sick to death of the negative nancies on here and the real world who are saying we can't win it. Of course we bloody can. We're in this up to our eyeballs.

Too many years of MFCSS unfortunately haven't been washed away despite last year's win - just because it's a close season doesn't mean we haven't got a shot at it fron here - can't win them all as an absolute dominant side - that's actually a rarity!

💪

I can see clubs chasing Tomlinson and Bedford . Personally we have a lot of small forwards , one player will go. Tomlinson is finding it hard to break into the back six , ideally we should have tried him as a forward. BB and Weid are not up to it .

On the subject of Naughton will cost too much and he lacks consistency.

 

Naughton is 22!!!

The door has been opened. Apparently the Tribunal said he was contesting the ball but should have been more careful. They didn’t say he bumped.

I smell a rat. Why wouldn’t they have simply found he bumped?

Is this a set up to get him off at the last stop, so it looks like they fought hard to suspend him.

We will see.
