Should we chase Josh Schache?

Let's also keep our perspective when it comes to list management.  Our current build seems to be much better than our previous one in the noughties.  We've prioritised talls and unlike the noughties we have a lot of promising prospects.  In the noughties, we prioritised elite mids, traded away our only elite young KPP (JK) and hoped to find some tall talent outside the top 10 (and failed spectacularly).

But now 3 of our best mids are aging and we'll need replacements soon: Murphy, Gibbs and Simmo.  We don't want to repeat the mistakes of the last rebuild by falling prey to an obsession to continually add to our strength while forgetting about our weakness.

We'll need to use our early picks/tradebait to go after elite mids, either in the draft or through trades.  We'll have to pay over the odds to get Schache.  Let's take the time to see if Charlie, Harry, JSOS and BSOS (Ben) and the Bolt can do the job first.

Agreed. It's not the $$ amount that is a factor in someone like Schache. Honestly $700k a season won't seem that much after the new collective bargaining agreement goes through. It's what it would cost us in terms of draft picks.

We'll load up on quality mids this year.
