Re: Josh Schache
This is an interesting piece by Caroline Wilson that's primarily on a spat between the Tigers and Brisbane over the de-valuing of Schache's currency (she also takes some swings at us over Stringer but best if that is discussed in another thread):

She's right in that we won't get full market, and that Brisbane won't get market value. The best case is to take our unders and use them for unders on Schache. Then we get parity at least with one of the second rounders from Essendon.

Re: Josh Schache
Lots of rumours going around about a meeting between the Tigers and Schache, which has caused Richmond to totally lose interest in Josh due to his emotional instability involving lots of tears when he talked about being away from his family.
For me that is not an issue...I would much rather someone with strong family ties (like the Bontempelli's) than someone from a broken family home.

Interesting. History tends to show that most great leaders/inventors lost a parent or experienced extended estrangement from a parent from early in their childhood. The theory is that the 'comfort' of a strong family background limits true greatness!
Not only did my parents pass on their bad genes to me - they hung around and gave me an innovation limiting positive upbringing.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Re: Josh Schache
Apparently 'the list manager' (who helped destroy the Richmond list before being sacked) just said clubs fear Schache might be the next Watts (ie. Soft). So that's why interest is low/club looking for a low price.
If the stories of him breaking down in interviews are true, then he's clearly not been happy up there and may even be a bit of mental illness through home sickness. I don't think throwing it around publicly is good for anyone. A club with a good welfare set up should get him at a good price and work with him to achieve his potential. A player who wants to get better and wants to achieve isn't an issue, it's the players who don't give a shit or don't see themselves having a problem.

Hahaha.
I think the adversity you mention can go one of both ways. Make people stronger or break them. Normal things make people more likely to sit in the normal band.

"Like the high-maintenance Stringer and the Bulldogs; Ambrogio, Chris Fagan and football boss David Noble must cut their losses and move the 20-year-old on."
I think your Richmond bias is showing a bit here Carowhine. If Dusty Martin played at any other club, you would have demanded he hand in his chopsticks and out the door long ago. But the fact is you don't quit so easily on a bloke once he is in your colours, do you.

Another article aimed at lowering the value of a key recruit to the journalists club. I'm shocked.

Created a lot of bad blood though. Another club could offer a similarly low offer and Brisbane out of spite could take it, if it were close enough overall.

Re: Josh Schache
I have no basis for this thought, but I wonder if we’re interested in Schache on the premise that we get the right deal from Essendon for Stringer which we can use in then satisfying the Lions?
I find it a little strange that Schache hasn’t nominated a club. Perhaps a reason for not doing so yet is the uncertainty around us and Stringer?

He's no doubt just desperate to get back to Victoria, and possibly not too picky, maximising his options by letting the Lions work the best deal that they can muster.
I would be very surprised if the Lions aren't working on something to ensure he gets to Victoria, and they get the best deal possible for him.

If we gain Schache and lose Stringer, we may get a big tick from members.

If the end result is effectively Schache and Martin for Stringer, Campbell, it'd be even more sellable.
If we end up;
In: Trengrove, Crozier, Schache, Martin, 1st and 2nd round pick
Out: Stringer, Campbell, delistees/trades for upgrades/future picks
I think we can look forward to 2018 with great hope

Re: Josh Schache
Apart from a couple of mentions on this forum I have seen no mention of Tom Campbell being traded. Personally I would be sorry to see him go, I still think he has a useful role to play for us. Is he being on the trade table fact, fiction or just speculation ?

There was an article stating he wants to explore his options
