Welcome to the Western Bulldogs:- Josh Schache

[bulldogtragic]

Essendon's pick 25 at face value seems undervalued for the Lions. Assuming they don't require a player we may need to bring in another Club to trade with to improve on pick 25, to high teens, low twenties.

I wish Geelong would just smash Essendon out with 19 & 23 (22 to GAJ). And we will make it work with the fine print.

Alternatively, if Dalrymple sees no difference between pick 9 & 12, we could swap them into the top 10 together with pick 25. (Assuming we took 25)

I think I mentioned last week that Schache was a possibility given it was a good news story if were were to lose Jake.
On top of that Schache is a great prospect with 27 senior games of AFL football already behind him which is excellent for a young tall.

It could be a more than reasonable outcome if we trade Jake.

Given our lack of quality forwards you would hope that Schache does become a recruiting priority.Both Cloke and Redpath do not appear to be the solution together with the uncertainty of Stringer. Tom Boyd still looks better suited as a ruck man. The thought of recruiting Trengrove Crozier and Schache would be a very good result in our trade endeavours.

I think there are a few options if we really wanted him including pick 9 with a suitable return of early picks. Sure we want to get a good first rounder pick but if we are interested in Schache we might as well have a decent dip at it.

West Coast is that rumoured club.

X2 second rounders for Pick 13 IIRC.

Not sure why the Eagles would do it unless we add something else.

Do they have a F/S candidate that doesn't immediately jump to mind? It seems to be the only reason I could see why they'd do it.

[bulldogtragic]

Did the article mention specific clubs? I recall picks between 20 & 30. Geelong could offer 22 & 23 once Lang is traded.

Yeah thought the same.

Points are useless if you don't have f/s poor academy prospects coming up. Even then it may not be needed

They may have been waiting for our Stringer trade to go through and then we on trade picks.

That's the dream. An agreement in principal while we get the best possible deal. If true, imagine that... Two clubs respecting each other over the trade table!!

That's how Hamling got to Freo - and then Crozier got to the Dogs.

Maybe Dodoro missed the memo.

The painful thing to observe though is even with his take no prisoners approach he will still end up landing Smith, Saad and Stringer for no more than he had anticipated. Hopefully the karma bus will come back to haunt him and his 'whatever it takes' immoral Club.

The only way it hits or hurts them is if teams make a stand against it. Hopefully we do

Well nothing's to say it's successful until a couple of years down the track to be honest, a bit of work to be done with Jake even if they do get him.
