Welcome to the Western Bulldogs:- Josh Schache

[bornadog]

Not what I've heard.

Do tell what you have heard now that you posted a teaser.

I haven't heard anything about Schache until quite recently when it became obvious that he might be available. We look at dozens of AFL and State League players each year and Schache is not a name I'd heard was of any particular interest. I'm not privy to everything the club does and we play our cards close to our chests, so I'm not claiming perfect knowledge, but I would have named a dozen players ahead of Schache that we've put some time into.

Interesting Ralph tweeted about us and Schache at 4pm. And his article loaded online at 4pm says the dogs should trade for Schache.

Ralph Wigum seems more coherent.

And this.... :

"Already he (Stringer) has been used as the scapegoat for all that ailed the Dogs this year when we all know many more players had issues than just Stringer."

Sure but that's a vurp. We don't know the inner machinations of the group and whom did what and said what to whom any more than he does.

And who the hell is this Wigum character?

I should also add that I'm certainly not saying we aren't having a crack at Shache now - just that I don't believe we've had a long standing interest in him.

Ralph Wigum? The best supporting character in TV history.

Loosing Jake and not trading for Schache is going to be a real binary outcome for club it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the future thats for sure

How do we think we're going to score next season?

Cloke? Redpath?

Given all the circumstances I can live with losing Stringer (albeit for a better deal than what is being touted), but I am surprised at our drop of interest in Schache.

We have done nothing to address our scoring woes in the last 2-3 years.

This is what i'm not liking the most in all of this. We struggle big time to score yet we are losing our best goal kicker and not replacing him in the slightest. How the hell will we kick goals next season? Stringer was down on form but at least took the best defender

[1eyedog]

Boyd must play forward with Roughie and Trengove alternating ruck / down back. Jake leaving means Bont will be required forward as well and Picken and Hunter will have to play there also you'd think. Hopefully Dicko can have an uninterrupted preseason and get back to his 50 goal a season form.

Our other damaging players JJ and Dale may also need to spend time forward. It will be a bit of gap filling it seems.

Crameri has to stay surely.

[Jam Donuts]

Boyd at full forward and JJ and Dale HFF, might get some goals then, maybe, please praying now.

[ledge]

I saw we arent interested in Schache and looks like Stringer is staying.

[Bulldog4life]

Stevo also said tonight that the murmurings of Schache to dogs won't go away. Maybe Lin Jong for Schache?

[Rocket Science]

Seemingly stating the obvious but 'The List Manager' mentioned Schache was somehow "less than impressive" when meeting with Victoria suitors.

Most odd, if that's to be beleived.
