    The coach stuffed up and put him forward.

If you knew nothing about this game and players, you’d say he was the best looking tall defender on eye in the way he moved and went about his business.

    I am guessing he was thrown back in the third? They needed to do something to hold up scoring while North had the cyclonic winds.

    Re: Time to pull the Liam Jones move.

    John Longmire was on AFL 360 last night and spoke about Nick Blakey. He was struggling to find form forward and was dropped to the VFL and played as a defender, a role he'd never played in previously. He found his feet in the role and played as a defender against the Eagles (and did well). There are numerous examples of highly rated but struggling young forwards becoming quality defenders.We need to follow this through with Schache, it's his only chance at a career with us.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I tried to tell everyone Blakey was playing back in the match committee thread but nobody seems to believe me. There is still discussion about Williams playing tall. I'm not sure who he is going to play tall on?

    Agree on Schache though, what is there to lose?

    He literally outbodied and took a contested mark on someone in defence on the weekend. When has he ever done that?

    And be the steadying influence under the pump and use his great disposal to set up team mates up the ground. There was one ground ball he attacked at speed and may have even picked it up one handed in the end too. Let’s see what happens. Was Bailey Dale ripping it up as a forward last year? Now possibly AA defender. Josh has plenty of skills, just not as a KPF. So harness them elsewhere like we’ve been doing since Bevo walked in the door.

    I wish journos would stop asking Bevo dumb questions in pressers like 'was kicking straight a focus this week?' and ask the question on everyone's lips 'what about Schache in defence?'.

    All anyone outside our club know if JS was drafted at Pick 2 and is a great set shot. So when Bevo signs off on this move he’ll look like a genius again. If JS plays this week, have a shot of your favourite liquor for every ‘Pick 2’ and ‘great set shot’ (or similar). It might get messy if he gets a couple of set shots though by half time.

    Re: Time to pull the Liam Jones move.

    We have so much talent up forward now which is a strange position to be in for our club, especially with Darcy coming through. And we're so light on in KPD so you'd hope we're experimenting with Josh as a defender.

    If we lose Young and Schache fizzles away in the VFL as a forward, I'd be pretty disappointed. They're 2 big questions marks at the moment. Why isn't Young getting more time and why hasn't Josh been trialled down back.

    It’s complete. He’s a KPD.

    You left out the stat where he had to jump the fence to retrieve the footy.
