Welcome to the Western Bulldogs:- Josh Schache

[bulldogtragic]

Buckenara was fairly positive I thought.

Oh, forgot about Bucky.

Although Gerard is a bit of a dog's fan. He usually has something positive to say about us.

I remember at start of 2015 in pre season when we flogged the Pies. It was only pre season but Gerard was all over that we'd made a leap and could be something special. He was right.

I am feeling bullish about Shache. Can't imagine him being an electrifying, powerful key forward with all the swagger in the world but can see him reliably taking marks on the long lead up the ground, kicking the footy well and being consistently in the mix for an avg 2 goals a game. He doesn't need to be Carey, or Grant, he just needs to run hard and provide an outlet for kicks that aren't going deep inside 50 and take his chances when he has hands on it I50

Yeah, well. Given our recent experiences with forwards and swagger I'm more than happy with a vanilla tall who can provide 2 or 3 goals each week or sacrifice his own game to let others get off the leash. The moronic Chewbacca tattoo is optional.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Schache's highlights are reliably boring - him going through the motions and kicking the goal...love it.
Reminds me of when we recruited Beasley - he looked really daggy but kept processing the ball through the sticks.

[Murphy'sLore]

In bulldogtragician terms, hopefully Josh will turn out to be more of a Jack than a Jake!

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Ash Hansen is critical to our development of Schache. Hopefully together they can develop Josh's techniques and strategies to maximise his chances of success. Likewise hopefully our mids are going to benefit from having Josh presenting as a target in a way that hang-out-the-back Jake didn't.

Good call SOS. If he fills that role we'll be clear winners in the trade.

Get Chris Grant to have a word to him.
I love the fact his kicking action is so good. Going to get some value out of him.

Yes c'mon Chris, it may not be on your job description but you have the knowledge and credibility to mentor Josh Schache. He needs your proactive support and guidance. Chris Grant your best work yet maybe as Josh's mentor as CHF (wait on, nobody could better your work as player, your second best work).

Schasche's kicking is fine, don't interfere with it. It's not broken and if we try to fix it we will end up doing something that rhymes with fix but means the opposite to his kicking.

Go on clear off! Keep away from Josh.

I don't think the suggestion was that Grant can help Schache's kicking but reading the play, when to lead, how to feed the crumbers etc.

Carry on then.

Great to have someone at the club (not called Simon or Tory) who can kick for goal! Makes life a little less frustrating..!
