Should we chase Josh Schache?

I'll wait to see how things pan out a little more b4 making a call on Schache. I am interested. I'm a little unsure on his toughness and resilience just yet!

I was a fan of Schache at U18 level. He was level headed and talented. But, like Pratty, I have yet to be convinced about how mentally tough he is. I would certainly be looking at him closely, but I think the asking price is questionable.

The other reason I would be leery of is that we already have a 200+ cm mobile forward coming through. H (Harry McKay) SHOULD be a little behind Schache in his development, as he is younger and had much time out with injury (McKay was the equal youngest player in the AFL last year with his twin.). However, on form you would be hard to justify that.

So, I wouldn't utter a blanket 'No', but I would be questioning more than a llittle before diving in with wads of cash.
When you get down to it, a LOT of talented players leave Brisbane after a short while and play a LOT better. Sam Docherty springs to mind easily. Schache could well do the same if his heart was in it.
