Great acquisition. We have the players to have a very potent forward line. Now it’s over to the coaches to make it work.

Sucks to see Bruce go but will fit perfectly in your side. Think you guys nailed the trade period. Hopefully Bruce can snag a flag with you guys before King leads us to our inevitable 5 in a row
I’m not...King’s a pretty special talent. Looking forward to our next match!
And the forward coach can start preparing.Bruce FF. Naughton CHF. Schache HFF.

Will not spoil each other.
It was no coincidence Lynch and Riewoldt
Gelled so well.It was astute forward line coaching.
On paper it looks good but we need Schache to run his guts out to make it work. He’s capable, but he needs a good ground level game and to put genuine pressure on. Some games he did it this year and others not so much.Bruce FF. Naughton CHF. Schache HFF.

Would be great to see all three kick 35+ goals.
He’s certainly fit but maybe another tough preseason will help his consistency.Agree, absolutely. He's got the leading game and uses his height well on the lead. He's a good handler of the ball, alert with the handball. Great kick, especially at goal. He's proved he's got the stamina to go all game. Why not a 2m half forward when he moves as good as most of them and can also play 2nd ruck (that's worth a lot in terms of team balance)?
But he does need to get down and dirty a bit more. Lock the ball in, chase and tackle. Was showing signs last season.

The Saints list has improvedI’m not...
The Saints list has improved
Yes, but at the cost of all their good picks in the next two drafts. They're going to need some big improvement from the blokes already on their list or it could look ugly two years from now.The Saints list has improved
Lloyd on the other flank, Dale deep.I think it can work Schache and Naughton have great ground games, good below the knees. Schache leads up the ground a lot and can earn his keep as 2nd ruck.
Schache regularly leads out team in kms covered per game. He's no KPP but as a hard running leading type (and offers a get-out release kick from defence or defensive wing) he has a future. Splits the defenders too as you need someone tall to play on him.On paper it looks good but we need Schache to run his guts out to make it work.

I don’t doubt his running numbers, which I know are excellent, but some games he’s around the ball and getting involved and sometimes less so.Schache regularly leads out team in kms covered per game.

If Keath is attached to his old number he can have it.Bruce 17 Keath 18
?? Yeh we traded out of this years draft but only traded our future 2nd next year. Think we have multiple 3rd & 4th round picks which might come in handy for teams needing points for academy players which apparently there is a heap next year.Yes, but at the cost of all their good picks in the next two drafts.

Also traded your future third and fourth from memory (according to https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-10-16/trade-period-ranked-from-worst-to-best-whos-in-out-draft-hand.) Have Port and Sydney's future fourth picks, so kind of offsets that a tough, depending how those teams go.?? Yeh we traded out of this years draft but only traded our future 2nd next year.

With the quality of Schache's kicking, I can see him pushing further up the ground and providing a tall marking option out of defence.Bruce FF. Naughton CHF. Schache HFF.
