Most odd, if that's to be beleived.
What does "less than impressive" even mean? Did he form into the fetal position and roll around on the floor the first time somebody asked him a difficult question?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Josh Schache
Jong for Schache. I can see the club appeal, Lin is a great club man with physicality but is coming off an ACL. Schache has some question marks around physicality, but we are being proactive about addressing our scoring problems. Overall, I can see it as a balanced trade whereby both clubs can claim a win. Us moreso. At the start of trade week, if we were offered this I think we might have jumped at it.
I don’t think Stevo would’ve finished his piece on the news tonight, with this trade proposal if it wasn’t a good shot.

I read TC was exploring his options at his request?

Re: Josh Schache
How many good clubmen can a team have? I like Jong and concede that his skills have improved each year, but he has a ceiling and we have a number of guys who are better than he is in his position. granted he has breakaway pace, something we lack. I look at it this way would you prefer we trade Wallis, Libba, MacRae, hunter, Dahlhaus, McLean, Dunkley or Jong, because all of these guys are largely competing for the midfield/forward spot.
Do I think Schache is a good get? honestly I have no idea. If he comes to the doggies my expectations will be low.

I have gone from hating Wallace in the 80's, to accepting and liking him when he joined us as both player and then coach, then hating him for lying about going to Swans and ditching us, then growing back slightly to... he is ok. Now I can't stand this BS List manager crap and listening to him at all.
PS: He tweeted there will be 20 trades done tomorrow.

Re: Josh Schache
I quite like Plough. One of the more interesting blokes in the footy world. I haven't listened to very much of his List Manager shtick though but he's usually pretty good with his footy stuff. What's wrong with it?

He does seem to have taken it to a more frantic level and doesn't seem as sharp when others are talking about deals. He positioned himself as a draft and list manager expert and you have to credit him for having that type of vision. He reinvents himself as a player, coach and now as a media person.

Terry adapts very quickly. He is typically a couple of moves ahead of the rest of the footy world.

Re: Josh Schache
Fair bit of talk that we will complete a trade for Schache today. Media, including Stevo, and some club insiders say it's more and more likely.

Re: Josh Schache
Jungle drums are beating loudly on Schache being a dog at 2:01pm today.
I don't like the idea of trading Jong though. Both because he offers us something unique but also because he was loyal to us last year.

His kids are dogs fans IIRC. He seems to have a real soft spot for us when you drag him away from the Essendon-centric shithole that is SEN's trade programming.

His manager said he's likely to stay at the Dogs. That can obviously change between when that was said and 2pm today.
