Yes absolutely.

Useless and random fact here. Tom Sparrow is currently dating Rod Owen's daughter Layla Owen.

He'll be 29 next year and has a degenerative knee issue. He's basically cooked.

Didn't want him at the start purely because of his serious off field matters. Really hope we've done our due diligence here which I trust we have. On a playing perspective, he was easily one one the best wingers in the club only a few years. He was one player that would worry me the most because he was such a big accumulator and would punish us with his outside run. His inclusion means James Jordon goes back into his natural position of inside mid. He's far better valued there then Tom Sparrow imo with his inside and outside work.

David King, Brad Johnson and Jon Ralph were highly critical of his lack of work ethic and physicality.

Him and Oliver grew up playing junior representative footy in regional Victoria. They're very close mates and so are their families. I remember when I had a fair bit of involvement in Schache's last year in the Murray Bushrangers and we all thought he was going to be a future star forward of the competition in years to come. His work rate and especially endurance levels was pretty elite as a roaming CHF in the same style as Travis Cloke. The talent is certainly there and unlike some I'm bullish about him considering he's been at a club with poor culture (doggies) where there's been some culture issue which has resulted in a fair few of their current and ex players all seem to taking personal leave at certain stages. Fresh start, new voice and a coaching staff that is big in wrapping their arms around instead of the opposite.

No he's not.

I'm so confused with the Tim Lamb statement and then media outlets sayings it's pretty much in the works. 🤷‍♂️

[censored] I now owe him a box of Northerns....

GNF is a well known troll.

I think more so that we were front runners basically for his service and were willing to pay the 200k. I believe St Kikda chased him as well.

Bang on

In fairness to him he pretty said this was a done deal on Monday and that we would be paying 200k of his contract.

Kidding yourself

Josh Bruce won't be going anywhere. His manager has already come out today and said that Bruce will be playing at the doggies next year and may look at even playing as a defender. There will be NO out of the blue recruitment of key forwards. Schache will join the dees which has been well reported in the media for the past 2 days now.

Go well Weids. I'm probably more disappointed in losing Weideman then I was with Jackson. I think as supporters we've been far more emotionally invested with Weids. We've all wanted him to make it but at times been extremely frustrated with his on field performance. I think a fresh start will do him well and he's been super gracious his whole career especially this year and last year. All the best.

How is it a downgrade? Both similar player really. You could even say Schache has been more productive at AFL level then Weideman.

Looks like this one may not get done.

Yes, I compared them to the 2013 of Melbourne when we just gave away all our senior players. If O'Meara and Mitchell leave then I have them for the wooden spoon.

Like he has with Weideman?
