Who would you have JMac target this year?

Hmm, maybe Schache was full of shit with what he told my daughter. They are pretty good friends so it's weird that he lied to her.

But hope we aren't after him, not what we need.

It is most likely 100% the truth when they talked. Things can change quickly in the AFL. I could see Brisbane saying to him there has been some clubs asking about your availability and it's gone from there.

He could be a good player or another Stephen Oliver that would rather live in the country than commit to the demands of AFL footy

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.

I'd rather take the pick also - he had a very disappointing year in 2017 and there has to be question marks over him

I'm not sold he turns it around in a new environment

Hypothetical , if we do land Schache what do we do with Cloke? Obviously you want the kid to earn a game but at the same time would you play Cloke in front of him who clearly is on his last legs?

Form into the side only. The longer game is what this should be about. We could be without Crammers & Cloke by next year. History says we can't rely on Redders. Young & Adams are unknown as AFL forwards.

Exactly. He's still very young. He probably won't be an over night success but he has time on his side. Tom Boyd still hasn't shot the lights out (barring 2 of my all time favourite games) by any means but I'm still excited about him because I feel he'll be a great player in the next couple seasons. If our recruiting staff can see something in Schache that they are willing to part with a first rounder for, well that's good enough for me. They know more than me when it comes to these matters. Its just as risky as picking up any kid in the draft. There's always a chance that the kid doesn't come on as we (or any club) would have hoped.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

I don’t rate Cloke or Redpath and we’re obsessed with rucking Boyd so Schache makes sense.

However, I also share concerns about his mental application and his lack of aggression.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

I agree Boyd and Schache make a lot of sense. Trade Campbell and/or Redpath for an extra mid-range pick or two. The high pressure small forward line has worked he last two years in finals but trends change quickly. Boyd and Schache with Tim English in the ruck is a big man trio for the next 10 years. We also either keep Stringer or gain another quality young kid with the pick. It’s a good set up.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

If we have a forward line of Boyd and Schache, would that be the least intimidating set of tall forwards (not talent-wise, aggression and attack on the football-wise) in the league? One thing Redpath does bring is the willingness to crash packs...

I haven't seen any of Schache's games but whispers about a lack of aggression are not promising. I feel like there are other options available at the draft which would suit our list better (similar to how I feel about Lever).

Collingwood confirming 6 won’t be used on Schache.

That only leaves North & Carlton with a higher pick than ours who have interest. I can’t see them trading down from 3/4. We might be in an ok window to trade down to get him if the club so chooses.

I reckon we are a big chance on this one.

Agree we need to find another way to score it simply cant just be about pressure and this year highlighted the fact even more so.

If GWS are into Honeychuch could we back door Essendon and make a play for Devon Smith? I'm not sure if he suits us or not but gee the look on Dodos face would be priceless.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

I'd rather pinch Saad from him.
