I’d be shocked if either had a career resurgence like Jones did and indeed I don’t see Schache or Sproule as starting 22 players.

Rather the appeal of targeting someone like them is to serve as a break glass back up option so that if one of H and Charlie are unavailable we aren’t forced to play TDK, Gov or SOS as key position forward which none are capable of.

Neither will likely command much in terms of salary nor interest from clubs as a starting 22 option and I think they’d be happy just extending their careers with a guaranteed spot on an AFL list.

id be very surprised.

just reckon that we are generally very quick to dismiss particular players without consideration of their circumstances.
think it’s a fair bet that none of us have lived with such high public expectations at such a young age, nor been forced to move so far away from home.

if you then Consider the basis on which a young bloke is being dismissed by, frankly the uneducated (in football terms), it amounts to no more than confirmation bias. (Ie I saw him play 2 games in defence on TV las year and I wasn’t impressed).

As long as he draws a defender, that might be enough for us. We'd have (ideally) either Charlie or H available. Just need to avoid having them constantly double teamed.

If Schache is left unattended, he is more than capable of taking a mark and kicking straight.

Yep, accept all that however would rather we keep developing a player like Dom Akuei who looks like he's got something to offer (providing he keeps improving)

The argument here is that we should have both.

A young bloke developing, and a ready-to-play bloke to step in and hold down the fort in case of injury to one of our key posts.

With Austin's knowledge & previous attachment to the Bulldogs, it wouldn't surprise if he was interested in Schache &/Hunter if they're available.:(
Going to cost our 1st draft pick for Hunter, don't see it happening after picking up Hewitt & Cerra last year, be highly surprised if we gave away our 1st two picks this year.
Schache would be worth peanuts.

Hunter wouldn't cost much. Bulldogs big chance of paying him out the rest of his contract if he cant find a new home

Where have you plucked that little nugget from?

Can't imagine any club being in the position to wear 1.2mil in cap space over two years for a bloke who isn't on their list, especially if they're not getting something in return.

Go check the Bulldogs board. Also heard similar from some friends who play in their VFL team. Bevo has given him two choices essentially, find a new team or enjoy ur paycheque off in the sunset

Should say I'm not an insider at either club so this is pure rumourmill stuff

Hunter is rated highly as a player, but obviously has some issues outside his footy, the Dogs won't be giving him away cheaply whilst he is contracted.
Mid-late 1st round pick would most likely be required.
We have a need for more outside run, not sure he fits that category.

I would have Hunter in the outside run category
