2nd half of the season.

I absolutely think that Schache was told to work on his workrate and efforts off the ball so I'm happy that he got 7 tackles and 15 touches since he's a neat field kick generally. Just depends on if he was actually throwing his weight behind those tackles

I listened to the radio commentary (which made my ears bleed) but there were some Footscray moments in between the Casey cheerleading that got them excited and a few involved Rhylee West's tackling. I like the idea of him playing forward and given the task to just harass and lock the ball in at all costs. He can also move a bit higher up the ground and rotate with the likes of Wallis, Dunkley and Smith, which is something Dickson is struggling with.

Yeah one point he just slung Wagner iirc to the ground just by grabbing his jumper as he ran past. They said that he is far stronger than you'd think an 18yo his size would be.

Also based on last week, he's not afraid of poleaxing people in tackles.

Yep, just what our forward line needs. I can see West following Dahl's career path - start as that harassing pressure forward then transition into the small, scrappy mid.

Is he quick?

Found this on VFL site. Nash is 61, Gardner 52 and 60 is Barnett (per goal kicking highlights).

I'll volunteer my opinion and say he is not all that quick. I'd say Dahlhaus was quicker and Cavarra is quicker from our current small VFL forwards (when he is on the park!)

Did Reuben Williams play? If not is he injured ? Perhaps keeping him under wraps for mid year draft?

How lipinski isn’t getting a game is beyond me.

Is that a record tackle number for Schache?

His previous best at AFL level was 6 tackles against Essendon in 2016 so it very well could be.
