Apart from goals kicked (6 more for Bobby), Schultz has shaded him in every other metric. Check the stats.
This is not a beat down on Bobby. I love him. But the carry on about how bad Schultz has been is not warranted.
Do we want him to be better. For sure. But must our team are significantly down on last season. There’s been a funk around our performances all season.
I don’t have the answers but I know using one player as a whipping boy isn’t it.
Every other metric? Is that including goal assists and score involvements, two fairly important metrics for a small forward?
I agree that Schultz wasn't out only problem, but you'd be drawing a very long bow to say that he's been better as a small forward than Hill and I think we all universally agree that Schultz stunk it up badly last night.
Let's hope they both improve in 2025 and we end up with two different yet still dangerous small forwards having 35 goal seasons whilst giving opposing defenders nightmares with their pressure.
