Can all the campaigners that come on here bagging Schultz STFU or GTFO? It's ******* depressing coming on here after a great win and seeing our own bag a player. You're all a bunch of entitled, useless c**ts. See how harsh that comes across?

You would think we learn a thing or two from our coach, who excels in getting behind his 44 sons. How about we show him a bit of support and not continually put him down? Schultz annoyed the hell out of me to no end on Friday night, but we got the win and he's getting a week off so it's fine.

Can we please give him 12 months like we did with Lipinski, Hill, McStay, Frampton, Mitchell and Markov?

You’ve also got to remember Schultz wanted to come back home cause he was dealing with family/personal issues. Who’s to say he's not still dealing with that at the moment? If you want to complain about the currency we gave up for him, go to the Graeme Wright thread and bag Wrighty, because Schultz had nothing to do with it.

You can all come to me if you don’t agree with me, I'll be more than happy to take you all on.

Well said Stiff one. Absolutely ridiculous what's being said.

Well said brother 👏
 
This endless criticism of Schultz in ridiculous. The man was one of the best small forwards in the comp when we nabbed him last year. He can literally do it all. Take pack marks, kick brilliant snaps and running goals while tackling and chasing like a man possessed.

He has not reached those heights at Collingwood so far but we already know what his ceiling is and it is very high based on very solid evidence. He has won the Ross Glendinning medal twice.

It's like recruiting Papley and then after a run of average to poor games people start bagging the club for chasing him in the first place as if there was never a good reason to want him. Draft picks are a lottery. Schultz is a known product. He will have a breakout game but cut the revisionist negativity.

He was my son and my favorite player outside of the Pies for a reason.


He's doing exactly what I thought he'd do in our F50 and will kick around 30 goals.

He is one of 3 or 4 smalls who can have a day out. He's never going to be the no 1 guy like he was in Freo.

His pressure and running is terrific.

He'll play worse and kick 3 one game.

It's hard to appreciate Schultz on TV but live at the ground you can clearly see his value. Watch from level 4 at the G and you'll lose count of the times he will run the width of the ground to provide an option, or sprint full pace to force a rushed kick from opposition defenders.

As much as I loved Ginni, if he dropped a mark or got out bodied the ball would be going straight back up the ground. That doesn't happen with Schultz in the team.

He's not going to kick bags every week but he's an automatic selection based on his value to the structure and game plan.
 
If only, the first round pick is this years not last years mate.
So it’s more like about 10 to 15 and a second rounder.
Ludicrous price for Shultz.
Won't be 10 to 15 imo. More like 18-25. On top of that we will get a pick between 25-30 back for ginnivan. Let's wait and see.

Edit: don't forget early father-son/academy/1st round comp/bids will push back that pick quite a bit.

Our first pick last 6 drafts is an "interesting" read..

Isaac Quaynor (2018 pick 13)
Jay Rantall (2019 pick 40)
Reef McCinnes (2020 pick 23)
Nick Daicos (2021 Pick 4)
Ed Allan (2022 pick 19)
Harry De'Mattia (2023 pick 25)
It was Ollie at 17 not Reef in 2020.

It looks pretty standard for a top 8 team to me. What's interesting about it?

Our quality has come from FS and NGA.

Hine outside that hasn't really had a top 10 pick to use.

Expectations on Reef, Allan, DeMattia are based off first rounder status but really are early 2nd rounders.

I find it interesting as we really haven’t had that quality of pick for a long time as previous to that we traded them or blew it traded the player for little like Stepho and Henry.
 
Was he as fumbly at freo? since coming to us he seems to fumble the ball a lot. As a feature of his game.
Pfffft, nobody watches Fremantle games, not even Derek Hine, our recruiters or Champion Data. They just tell us the result afterwards and we take their word for it.

You're a top poster Eric. Love it when you are fired up.

Those draft picks are good - they are the result of us playing in 4 prelims and another final series where we won a final in those 6 years.
 
I see that Hawks fans could not be happier with Ginnivan's contribution to their win. He is being praised for his last quarter, his 5 tackles, his determination to maintain control of the ball from the clearances and the goals he kicked. They love him at Hawthorn, particularly the fact that he is a natural footballer. Meanwhile our bloke is still 'settling in', 'getting used to a new system' and also now suspended for trying to hit someone a meter away from him. I know who got the best deal from those two trades, and it wasn't us.
He was missing for 3 quarters.
