Always Right Match Committee Round Four v Richmond at The G

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Four v Richmond at The G

Schache’s paper’s stamped now? Not playing KPD, not 3rd tall. Reckon he’s back in the queue again. Doesn’t get much leeway!

Until he shows a harder edge to his game he isn't going to play much... and I'm ok with that.

Can you this ever happening?

I would assume it's been a big theme in his coaching for a while now, and it appears so foreign to him I can't ever see it happening.

That dropped mark that led to the Fritsch goal may be the "moment" for him unfortunately.

No, I can't... Whilst ''hardness'' can improve in time, you pretty much have it or you don't and unfortunately for Josh he doesn't and it's the only thing holding him back because he is well above average for the other key facets required.

I would be happy with that too but for seeing others run into form in the firsts. For example, Hannan got 4 disposals and 0 hitouts last week and is perfectly safe. He has hardly touched the ball this year- 20 possessions in total. Admittedly he will have a good game now and then but he has never been as consistent kicking goals as Schache (happy to be corrected on that)

The team played badly- 80 turnovers and many led to Melbourne scoring. Only one Bulldog player gets named.

We aren’t still caping for Schache are we? It’s nearing in on double digit chances after bitterly disappointing efforts. Maybe if he stopped choking in big moments that swing games it wouldn’t be so easy to scapegoat him.

You must have missed the criticism of Bailey Williams and his subsequent axing from the team?

I would love Schache to make it but there is no conspiracy, he has performed poorly time and time again. There is little use in comparing him to others like Hannan as we have no idea exactly what they are being asked to do and how their KPIs are being measured. I will give you a hint though - it's not just possessions, it's not the 1950s.

He played well in last years finals.

I thought Williams had a poor game, but to drop him after 1 bad game after proving himself last season was unexpected.

If Hannah’s KPIs say 4 possessions is adequate then it is a good explanation of why we have been losing more home and away games than we are winning. We have won 7 of the last 16. That’s not a hint, it is a fact.

I never said he didn't, strange comment.

He has played some good footy but interspersed with some really poor games where my assumption is he has failed to meet some non negotiables from the coaches and been dropped as a result. He will likely get another chance at some stage and I hope as much as anyone he seizes it.

It's moments like these that I truly wonder what we've been thinking about our KPD stocks over the last three years and particularly last off season.

I guess we think TOB can play KPD given we chased him.
Sam Darcy may well be the kid we develop there. I hope we find a stop gap to cover Keath's injuries.

Don't spoil a good story with the facts BAD.

He wasn't the only one.

How did you think he played that night and in subsequent VFL games?

My point is clearly players have roles and certain expectations to meet that we are not privy to. Simply pointing to possessions every time you wish to make your case is flawed. Now you are claiming we are losing games because the coaches have no idea how to measure success? I reckon they might have a better idea than you and I.
