    You are getting my point ie the definition of deserve - which I don't like either in a sporting sense.

      Agree, but I think bevo picking a cooked Bruce in front of him says it all.

        Reckon Schache could go somewhere else and get a few more years? Roos? GC? GWS? Heck... I reckon he'd look OK in Freo's fwd line.

          As Young is showing at the Blues I'm sure he could eek out a bit more of a career elsewhere

            It depends what your KPI's are for Josh's role, but I could see him easily kicking 35-40 goals in a full season.

              So can I and it galls me. Why didn’t we nurture him after his very good performance against Alir Alir in PF last year?

                Because Bevo doesn't back-in players who lack a hard edge.

                He can put up with lots of other poor traits, like not being able to kick or run... but he doesn't tolerate players with a flaky intensity.

                  and therein lies the problem with Schache. We have commented a number of times on this forum about his intensity and nothing has changed as he has matured.

                  If he is willing to stay and be second fiddle, then I would keep him just in case of injuries.

                    I think Schache has shown improved intensity. When rucking in vfl and if I recall at afl with few games he has played this year I thought his 2nd efforts at ground level pretty good. He needs to show more on top of that. Hoping he is recalled and shows he really wants to succeed. I still think the MC have been harsh considering shocking skills of some of the players being given games for quite a few seasons now.

                      Good possibility we play Freo if we make it over in WA.

                        In 2018 and 2019 Schache had something like 40 goals in 25 games. He seemed to be struggling to get selected even then. Only goal less in a few. Big contribution when the team was struggling.

                        Then Bruce came in with a reputation (justified) and Schache was banished. The fact that Bruce contributed next to nothing in 2020 and was bordering on incompetent at times should have shown Schache that it was time to go. I don’t know why he stayed.

                            Doc, Khamis misses a week with concussion, Not sure if Duryea is right either.

                              Gardner no certainty to play either.
