Melbourne based clubs believe Josh Schache could request a trade out of Brisbane this year

MELBOURNE clubs believe Josh Schache is still gettable — despite the Brisbane Lion re-signing for two years just 12 weeks ago.

Schache, 20, will on Tuesday pack up his car and begin motoring from Brisbane to Seymour while his teammates prepare for the NEAFL grand final against Sydney’s reserves.

The No.2 draft pick was “rested” from Saturday’s preliminary final victory at the Gabba and he will not play in the premiership decider, to be contested at the SCG after Saturday’s AFL elimination final.

A host of Victorian clubs are on the hunt for key forwards like Schache.

Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs want more firepower while Hawthorn still needs a target after Ty Vickery’s disappointing season.

Richmond was the frontrunner for Schache before he recommitted to the Gabba as the Tigers search for a Jack Riewoldt co-pilot.

Carlton was also interested in Schache and with North Melbourne’s Jarrad Waite a chance to retire, Schache could fit in at the cashed-up Kangas.

I'm not sure the website could handle all the data required to answer that question!

He is suspended again and will miss the VFL prelim

Not sold on Schache either, but you do wonder how much the go home factor affected his form .

Gaff's an interesting one . You'd take him on games against us, but he does tend to go missing as well .
Be on big coin as well

Averaged 30 a game this season and only dipped under 20 in 2 games.

My query on him is he supposed to be very good going into the F50 but even with Kennedy gets 0.6 goal assist a game which puts him outside the top 100 in the league.

Gone missing when tagged . ( not alone there)

So Bonts wouldn't get the best tagger. That's a net benefit to a acquiring a good midfielder.

How often would Gaff get tagged in our side though?

Bonti first, JJ copped a tag too and Macrae's been tagged at times as well.

Any update on where Jason McCartney's contract status is at?

This must be deemed a priority for the Club before we have him engaged in trade negotiations with other Clubs and managers at this pointy end.

Whilst I hope that we can re-contract him on favourable terms for us, if he is looking to move on we cannot have him overseeing or inputting into player movements or draft considerations.

Regardless of how he conducts himself professionally, the potential conflict is too significant.

What about making a play for Jack Watts? He fell out of favour with the MC and played at Casey at times during the season. He does have a habit of going missing during games I know but I think he has plenty of upside. He has a good set of hands and he's a beautiful kick, something we could use more of. I'm purely spit balling here.
