Prediction Future of Josh has gone to the Dogs.

[Milux]

Bombers have asked about Schache this morning....

They have no currency.

 

[The Bear]

No Jong. Keep Schache.

 

[Cockliff38]

I'd take Jong at the right price but pretty concerning if the club doesn't get him in for a medical

Bombers have asked about Schache this morning....

I'd take their 2018 first rounder. But they've got no currency other than that. Even more unlikely than the Dogs.

 

[marooned]

Gut says if it is done, this will be it

The only thing with this is if we use 18 on Cameron we need to trade 20 and 12 for a high pick and hope Ballenden gets bid on late teens early 20s,then use 27 for him could work out nicely for us.

Bombers have asked about Schache this morning....

The talk is Big Josh to Bombers, Francis to Crows, Cameron comes to us.
NO THANKS

Hope we don't fall over at the last hurdle. More worried about trading Schache out for a mid to late second rounder than bringing in Cameron with pick 12.

Via the Herald Sun Live Blog:

"JOSH Schache could be traded to Essendon today in a possible three-club swap involving homesick and talented youngsters.

The Herald Sun can reveal the Bombers inquired about Schache on the final morning of trade period.

A potential deal which would send Charlie Cameron to Brisbane Lions, Aaron Francis to Adelaide and Schache to the Bombers has been discussed.

But the Crows’ interest in Francis is understood to be a possible stumbling block.

They are not heavily pursuing the 2015 No.6 pick from South Australia.

Draft picks would also be attached to the deal.

MORE TO COME"

Just when I was getting optimistic that the club would be retaining Schache, this morning has been shattered with all these left field scenarios, which only sees us getting bent over.

Was hopeful the club would be resilient, but just don’t see it anymore.

 

[Dodongo]

Dodongo is not worried. The club wont cave. Dodongo thinks this is all just expected talk with no substance just to remove Dodongo's left nut

 

[Forward We Go]

You are right to feel tense

I reckon by the end of this:

Cameron will be a Lion and it will involve pick 12 and 16 and Schache will be a dog and Lin Jong will be at the Lions.
We will have won in the 'club is compassionate' stakes and all the journalists will talk how great that is

But

We will be in a weaker position going forward. Jong I doubt will be anything but a good honest toiler but Schache will have a long outstanding career.

As usual, Trade week is the worst time of year for the Lions. Can't remember the last time we have broke even let alone got better.

That post was so depressing it makes me want to go straight to the bathroom, grab my razor & end it right now!!! LOL.
On the bright side of life, our club no longer cops it that way anymore. People like David Noble ensures we get a fair deal. Glass half full IMO.

 

[Dodongo]

Dodongo will add that Dodongo thinks this is a ploy by media and clubs to male Dodongo nervous. They have read bigfooty Dodongo thinks and they thought they would play with Dodongo's emotions. Dodongo says to them all no Dodongo isnt scared. Dodongo isnt worried. You cant **** with Dodongo

Did it grow back?

 

[lions27]

If we swap Schache for Cameron I will fu***** vomit

 

[Scubaveg]

Yep, if Josh does go we must still get a pick in the first round ie. a pick in the 8-11 range.

That won’t happen. And any talk of the Bombers being interested is just the Bombers using it as leverage to get Stringer. If he goes to the dogs it will be fire one of the picks Bombers give dogs for Stringer.

I feel sick.

Take your pick Dodongo...

Oh dear, that looks painful, poor Dodongo!

 

[The Bear]

Hold firm Nobs.

If we get pick 25 as well.
It effectively means we get Cameron and Ballenden for Schache.

Really? I would've thought that would be relatively close to a pretty good outcome at this stage. We get the player we've been chasing, give Josh his chance to go home, and head to the draft with a relatively strong hand.

Sure, it's not a top 10 pick, but it's a much better result than the pick in the 30s that the media has kept going on about for Josh.

I think it might help if a few people read between the lines. We clearly don't believe Josh is going to be a star KPF in the AFL - we'd be trying to change his mind and turn him around if we did. If one of the better development coaches in the AFL in Fagan has made that assessment of Josh, I think getting him for a player we really rate in Charlie Cameron would be ultimately a good outcome. At the very least, a palatable one.

 

[Forward We Go]

Harden up you sooks.
This Schache drama (ever since he arrived) makes me think a deal would not only be good thing but also a relief to our playing list. Focus needs to be on our team, not just 1 individual. Right now, not a good/positive vibe with any of it.
Schache out and Dodongo's left agate as well....Happy Days.

Good post.

A year ago we would have said no way, but people need to accept how much the landscape has changed. Schache is contracted so we are going to get a good insight to how the club values Schache going forward by what deal they willingly do.

It's sad that it may come to this, but it is what it is. Like you said, palatable is the right word. No one will be doing backflips.

Also seems that small forward lines are the future. Hipwood with a bunch of mozzies at his feet and a resting ruckman (Ballanden) floating forward will probably be how we shape up in a few years.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Harden up you sooks.

You and PattyK have similar points yet one managed to do it in a classier and more sociable fashion.

Guess who?

I’m sure you were saying the same about Chris Johnson in 98, and Black and Power in 99-00?

 

[The Bear]

Happy to let Schache go for current market currency if the deal includes McCluggage and Witherden extending their contracts.
