He's also had a career trajectory that's similar (if not better) than many/most top flight AFL forwards. They tend to take time. Had a drop off this year when he was clearly struggling with the homesickness...other than that I don't really see many "issues" like many are speculating. Seems to me like the Vic media trying to frame the scenario/his worth nice and early.The problem with Schache is twofold. Firstly he’s had a remarkably similar career trajectory to Aish, who looks more and more like becoming a bust and andomeone we overpaid for substantially. Alarm bells are ringing for many.
Secondly, he just doesn’t seem to have anything dynamic in his game that makes him look like becoming a great KPF. He could still become one, but I just don’t see the major weapons that great KPF’s tend to have.
With 18 coming back, 6 is a risk I’d probably be willing to take, but tbh I’d be just as happy spending pick 6 on an athletic freak in Balta who is really raw but has the tools to become anything.
I'm more than happy to see a quiet one.This be very Boring to Watch this Year

I say that on many a weekend, but it doesn't mean I don't want a beer!I'm more than happy to see a quiet one.
Interesting to read the hesitancy to trade #6 here, even with #18 coming back (which isn't a trade I'd want us to be doing from a Lions perspective). Only firms my belief that he won't actually end up getting traded.
Obviously my views are skewed as a Lions fan but even when attempting to view it from a neutral perspective I see Schache as a far better prospect than any tall in this draft. If he was available at #6 and my club needed a tall, I'd hope we took him there.
Guess this Trade Period I don't have to stay on the Computer All Day for 2 Weeks to try and get the Welcome to Collingwood Threads
Plus I be in Hospital on Friday
How dumb.Gary Buckenara's article in the HUN re: Schache
"Despite struggling in his first two seasons I would command two first-round picks as a starting point and see if any club – like Collingwood or Carlton – would pay it. At the very least I’d accept a first and second-round pick for the goalkicker."
Jeepers Creepers!
Christ. If that's what Brisbane want, they'll be keeping him. I'll give up completely if Collingwood even considered something so stupidGary Buckenara's article in the HUN re: Schache

I'm not going to get offended regardless of your opinion on Schache. From what I've read around the different club boards I think he'll either stay or one group of supporters are going to be very upset about the price they paid (and then happy when Schache is a gun in a few years).He may well be. But will he be better than someone we could draft at 6 who would fulfil one of our other needs? I don't want to take him for the sake of it because he is a tall. If we can get an elite player at 6 in one of the other positions of need we have, I'd rather do that. Personally, I hope we steer well clear of him. No offence, he just doesn't do it for me.
Hopefully!Christ. If that's what Brisbane want, they'll be keeping him. I'll give up completely if Collingwood even considered something so stupid

I kinda worry that we're about to do a James Stewart, re: Schache.

The Vic media have nothing to do with his trade value. They speculate just as all of us do. They don’t try to play down the worth of interstate players in some grand conspiracy, no matter how much you think they do.He's also had a career trajectory that's similar (if not better) than many/most top flight AFL forwards. They tend to take time. Had a drop off this year when he was clearly struggling with the homesickness...other than that I don't really see many "issues" like many are speculating.

I just don’t see it. As I said, I’d still be ok to take the punt with a puck coming back, but he makes me nervous.As to his footballing ability I think he's got quite a lot of tools that hold him in good stead going forward: good overhead mark, capable contested mark, great kick, great skills in general, and good decision making. As I mentioned, I rate him head and shoulders above any KPP in this draft.
We all tend to overrate our own players so I can’t really fault you for it.FWIW my intention isn't to come here and convince you he's worth pick 6 because my ideal scenario is that we keep him. I'm just saying that I personally wouldn't hesitate to give up 6 for him. I see him as a long term 50-60 goals/year forward, and they're quite valuable.
Lol think he has been dropping acidGary Buckenara's article in the HUN re: Schache

"Collingwood, which likewise has a need for a tall forward, also is planning to go to the draft with its first pick, No 6."
Not sure if they have any info or are just guessing but if we aren't keen then not many clubs are biting on the Schache trade.
How on Earth someone cost the Same of Treloar that not done much at AFL Level
