News Welcome to the Bulldogs Josh Schache

[Testekill]

The Cloke family aren't renowned as being terribly gifted in the upstairs department. I wouldn't bank on him being a good coach IMHO

Moore credits Cloke as being really important for his development.

Moore credits Cloke as being really important for his development.

What development?

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Agreed, because it's clearly more applicable to key defenders. Being a key defender in modern footy with zoning off, pressing, reading the play and intercepting is a lot different to the TAC Cup density rule where you just stick to your opponent.

The act of marking the footy, leading in space and kicking goals is pretty much the same with or without the density rule.

If defenders are able to do different things, forwards are forced to do different things too.

 

[Lex22]

haha so Now we have our Rucks sorted with Boyd and Schache, who do we get next year to play FF?

Someone undersized and slow. Maybe Clay?

Whoa, hey guy

 

[Lex22]

Whoa, hey guy

Sorry mate, I shouldn't get so personal.

 

[Lex22]

If a forward kicks 60 goals in any given year in modern footy that generally places them as a top 5 goalkicker in the league.

From what I've seen so far I don't believe Schache has the athletic ability to be one of those guys.

I get the whole age to age comparison thing, but he hasn't shown linear improvement in anything from an eye test perspective.

I'd love to be wrong.

Kennedy isn't a great athlete. Very good lead and mark player and one of the best one dimensional forwards I've seen.

Schache has more upside athletically, ability not sure but Id take a poor mans Josh Kennedy with him given what we've given up.

If at best Schache develops into a 40-50 goal a year forward then that's a massive win for us.

According to intellectual football media midget Ralph in the Murdoch press today Schache,out of all players changing clubs will be 25th in impact for his new club.

Is that the Richmond flunkie? Figures.

In fairness he followed it up with saying it was a great pick up and would take time.

He's really gunning to take over that stupid top 100 list they do every year isn't he

 

[stefoid]

What development?

ZING

 

[charcoalchicken]

So is he gunna play or...?

 

[Hard Ball Get]

So is he gunna play or...?

He'll take time.

 

[footyfan000001]

How’d he go yesterday in the wet?

 

[SCRAY72]

Lets forget the fact that he went pick 2, we didn't draft him there, Brisbane did.
Look at someone like Ben Brown, drafted at 21yo kicked 18 goals from 11 games in his first year, since then 32, 41 and 63 goals per year. Steady improvement.
Hopefully he doesnt waste his second chance at the Dogs.

 

[Testekill]

How’d he go yesterday in the wet?

40% TOG but didn't get it much. He was coming back from an injury though

I've heard Bevo refer to Schache twice in recent days as a "foal". That's all arms and legs and a lack of strength. Says (my interpretation) we'll be waiting 2 years till he gets to the point where he's capable of week in week out consistent performances. Doesn't mean he won't be any good but we'll have to wait. I'm alright with it.

Best part is that we dont need to rush his development like the older days

No we don't. The more you look at it the more you can see the player management aspect of the club. There seems to be a strength/resolve to it where outside noise/speculation is not going to force their hand into going too early on some players. It's going to be very beneficial down the track for those players effectiveness and longevity.

Stringer will get confused and bet on him.

Allows players to develop mentally as well, in a great working environment of support and understanding

Let's hope that, once he's matured, we're left with a stud and not a (night)mare.

 

[footyfan000001]

Still very excited about this kid. Some of his Brisbane highlights he moved very nicely!

Or a show pony. In good hands though. Optimistic
