    I like Red a lot, but he's very limited. Schache is a much more attractive package.

    I guess that's the reality of footy, and why I don't get upset when players choose what's best for them. Most of us would take an uprgade on them if presented in a heartbeat.

So short of them doing pick 3 for pick 12, I think we can fight a good fight on the actual trade side. Then it's convincing him to come to us and not a big club.
    Spot on, I can't see Carlton using pick 3 and getting other deals done so if we are interested we can out together a good offer.
    I'm still leaning towards keeping our picks but Schache is worth looking at some options to see if he is worth it.

    If we lose Stringer for 11, but land Schache for say a a couple of downgrades and maybe a future pick, that's a nice recovery from a month ago.

    The end ins looks like: 11, 18 (2 X first rounders) 41 (Dalrymple mid draft special), 80 (Roarke) and Schache, Trengove, Crozer. (7)
    The end outs look like: Bob, Boyd, Hamilton, Honey, Stringer, Crameri, Campbell/Redders (Carlton into Redders this year, so they get a cheap option to walk away from JS (7)

    Re: Josh Schache

    I am very much in the positive camp with JS. His first year was very good for a young key forward but, as his homesickness grew, he did go backwards this year. If he gets to a Vic club, his rate of improvement could be dramatic. Given the potential upside I think the risk is well worth it.

    Re: Josh Schache

    For the math lovers of a potential trade:

    Dogs Give: 9 & 27 (2,172 points)
    Brisbne Give: 19 & 43 (1,326 points)

    Net gain 846 points - equivalent to pick 22. (Not going to get it done)
    Add 3rd 2018 (mid table finish) - 347 points

    Total Draft Points - 1,193 - equivalent to pick 13 or if we finish lower perhaps 12.

    Their asking price is a first rounder which they get in pick 9, and also overall through the trade. So that's the math.

    He would help more than a 2017 draftee would

    Re: Josh Schache

    If you look at this years draft Schache would clearly be the best tall so with that in mind the chance to get him for mid range 1st round pick should be tempting to a club like ours. I still think that his 27 senior games has fast tracked his development which should be very appealing.

    Richmond should be all over him

    I think there are clubs who think they would rather wait for next year to throw their hat in the ring for Tom Lynch. Schache could be a steal

    If we were to secure pick 11 for Stringer I think we could offer that pick for Schache and Brisbanes 3rd round pick. That pick would go to Freo for Crozier. So pick 11 would get us Schache and Crozier

    Re: Josh Schache

    One of the hardest things to do in list management is to assemble a group of very talented young talls that can form the spine of a team that can challenge for an extended period. If we add Schache (20) to English (20), Young (18), Collins (19), Boyd (22) and Cordy (20), we really are giving our coaches and football department every opportunity to build something specisl.

    I've been watching some vision and with his solid endurance base really think Josh can play the Travis Cloke role higher up the park and use his excellent foot skills to connect inside 50. Throw in the fact we can get him at a discount and a fair wage along with significant upside I think he is well and truly worth the risk.

    Money. A few clubs have made comment that his salary is an issue. They've obviously paid him a bit to knock Richmond, Carlton & Us back earlier this year. Some clubs don't have the cap or the will. We have both if we are still keen 3 months later.

    Stevo has buried speculation that Schache will come to us.
