From what I saw on weekend praccy match Schache was given licence to roam a bit. I thought he did OK incl. a few nice intercept marks. Really hope he makes it as he has some lovely skills & is well balanced.

What about sending Jamarra to CHB?
I think it's worth a go because his footy IQ is pretty high and he has the habit of getting where the ball is. Schache might not run 100 metres in 10 seconds but he reads the ball off the foot nicely from 50-60 metres and can get to the drop of it before most other players.Quote:

I'm not sure he's agile enough and he isn't great below his knees.Quote:

Are we missing Bailey Dale's numbers?
Leading us for intercept possessions and showing that instead of being 'just a rebounder' he can actually defend.
I'll put my hand up and say I didn't expect it from him but right now he's forcing us to keep playing him due to performance
I think he's currently ranked #1 general defender.Quote:

In what universe is Jayden Hunt a key defender? He's 186cm and playing behind May and Lever.Quote:

Different skill sets though, Roughy had early success as a KPD who could play on certain power forwards (which Schache can't) and Jones was always a pretty quick and gifted athlete if nothing else.Quote:

His lateral movement is pretty average which would concern me, not sure who/what type of player he could match up on? Hawkins/Lynch/Kennedy etc are too big and strong whilst Daniher/Hipwood/Cameron etc would be too quick/agile.
I like Josh and hope he gets a chance somewhere because on talent alone he really should be a regular AFL player somewhere.
The truth is we'll never know how his attributes will translate to defence unless he's given an opportunity to play there. I don't think we'll try it, at least not until Marra's conditioning is up to standard. Once Marra is right to go though, Shache needs to shake things up or else we may has well just trade him to a team that will utilise him better.
