Who would you have JMac target this year?

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

We could give Boyd a mentoring role with Schache which might actually help them both develop as well. I would be happy with Schache.

It would make us awfully tall but talls are normally good trade value for the future if need be. We would then have to draft all fast mids with good skill if we took Schache.

Two potential power forwards (works for GCS and others), I love the idea also with an athletic freak like Young playing the roaming role too. Redders depth/trade, Crameri (?) and Cloke possibly retired at year's end. As you say, if we can get good users delivering inside 50. Then we need two genuine crumbling, quick forward pocket types.

A Roughy/English first ruck with Boyd & Schache capable of rucking means no defined second ruck role, which I'm sure Bevo would like. And two big forwards will force change with entries to them and personnel around them.

And, as a by product and not primary motivation, for membership numbers. We can sell a 10 year period with a forward line Twin Towers of a pick 1 KPF and a pick 2 KPF , with a resting Pick 4 up forward too.

Is Schache actually good?

Non-competitor.

I guess thats the million dollar question. Is he good but just been poor in Brisbane? Has he applied himself 100%?

Tim Walsh come on down.

Sorry but a big no thanks from me.

Were these Homesick ex-brisbane players?
Yeo , docherty , aish
YEo just won the B&f for wc,
Docherty has become a fair player at carlton

Aish may not make it as his struggle for games this year for whatever reasons
2/3 could it be a good indicator ??? If schache on the market and he ticks our boxes, go hard and the throw the kitchen sink. We need a young forward at that age profile.

That is a very big NO!

That's my concern with him. You can't teach that willingness to compete - that's why Jack Watts is not a KPF despite being more than big enough to be.

Brett Anderson (not a terrible source) claiming that we're one of four clubs into him.

This is good news for those who want to pick him up (for obvious reasons), and also good news for those who don't want to (because he will inevitably pick somewhere else).

So 10 Victorian clubs.
- less Richmond & Essendon ruling themselves out
- less Geelong, they’re too stretched for trades as it is
- less Hawthorn, they’ve nothing to trade after Impey takes their top pick
- less Melbourne, tied up with Lever

Between 4 of: Dogs, Saints, North, Carlton & Collingwood

I can’t see us beating big clubs or bigger money with better picks

Count Saints out. They ruled themselves out.

I think you could cancel out StKilda with Bruce, Membrey and McCartin

I bet he goes to Collingwood.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

I'd rather take early picks into the draft but I just have the feeling we could be looking for that good news story and Schache might be that.

I'm not sure why there are questions marks about his competitiveness though, he has played 27 games in 2 seasons which is a fast tracked development rate for young KP players.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Ok. Dogs, North, Carlton & Collingwood.

I think as a list we are comfortably the best. He shouldn't go to North. Then we are competing against two 'big clubs' with picks better than us. As much as I'd like him, we don't pitch well it seems.

Edit: Apparently Collingwood want to use pick 6 at the draft. So if we use the BT Model (9 & 26, 2018 3rd rounder, plus a fringe player for 18 & 41 and Schache) then North or Carlton might get into a murky area where the would give up too much. Carlton & North could use Redders. Perhaps we can throw him around to persuade one of them there's a cheaper option and keep their pick 3 & 4.

If we can land 11 and use it. Swap 9 & 18 as I've previously laid out. That's still giving Dal two notional first rounders and pick 41 plus Schache, Trengove & Crozier.

I'd call that a big overall win from where we were when Bevo's interview hit the Hun website.
