Should we chase Josh Schache?

I was astounded we got rid of Holman...at the time, our list had far bigger problems than this kid.

Ive had this discussion with a few people before regarding different players across different codes.

I think sometimes the call is made not because of where they are, but due to where they could potentially go, and how well the scope is there for them to reach that.

You will always find that the blokes we are always talking about were "good enough" for the level, but had limited scope to improve beyond that.

Holman irrespective of what we thought of him, just didn't get enough of the footy for a bloke who spent meaningful time in the middle.

Graham is a year younger, and was showing him up at the time, to ease the concerns of people not understanding that decision.  The other side of it, is what we didn't see.  There may have been no real issue with him, but we needed to change directions and do so quickly seeing us go with new blood over old blood and then the decision was made to keep blokes who were showing enough of the right sort of attitude and get rid of blokes who might not have been quite as committed.

Bolton was already with us at the time, so he got to see what Holman is all about before we made that call.
