    Assuming we just took it over. Don't hold me to it. I think it was a two year extension, for 2018 & 2019. Somewhere this week I read/heard it was around low $300's.

      Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs:- Josh Schache

      As a junior footballer he had outstanding endurance and I think he has all the tools to be a very effective senior footballer.
      By playing at Brisbane he hasn't tasted the level of success and if we can provide him a competitive and productive environment I can see him starting to thrive with us during the 2018 season.

        Good to have Schache on board.

        Does this increase our chance of retaining HC and moving Dahl to a small forward role?
        Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

          No chance of HC staying. He'll be a DFA signing for GWS

          Edit: I assume HC is Honeychurch

              There's a great interview up on the club website with Shaq.

              1. Great to see him smiling and happy
              2. He likes to work up the ground with his endurance, and then work hard back to goal with a good left foot. Sound like an aging forward we've got. Surely a mentor role. Sounds like he wants to play a different role than Boyd, which makes playing them both easy.
              3. Bevo rang him. Said everyone needs to play multiple roles. Rucking or "other areas of the ground". Don't donthat Shaq, which area of the ground.
              3a. How good would it be having a first ruck and then only a few minutes from him and Boyd. Best of all worlds.
              4. They have in the new jumper with Mercedes Vans on the back. Media guys work quick.
              5. He looks like a prototype of a human being if all men's sports coaches designed a human being.

                Clearly he was considered a boom/bust prospect by Victorian clubs. I think in years to come we will be talking about 25 & 40 for him and debating if this was the best trade we've done. So yes, I'm in the boom view of him.

                  If endurance and moving around the ground is his strength then it does make it easier to play him and Boyd. Certainly doesn't look built up like Boyd did when he joined.

                      Very impressive interview.

                      We've heard all of the "concerns" about young Josh, and whilst he no doubt has a few things to work through, I thought he presented very well. Spoke honestly and clearly, looked as though he knows what he needs to work on.

                      Most pleasing, he looked VERY happy to be coming to us - great to see.

                      Confident we've got ourselves a genuine steal here.

                        I'm going with the very obvious "Shack" for a nickname until I hear a better one. Go The Shack!

                            Well I didn't want to make the comparison (even less so since that makes Boyd Koschitzke)

                              Boyd is lucky that Gia isn't playing for another side and/or has retired.
