Player Watch Lachie Schultz

[Fat Jesus]

I honestly think he was pretty good. Maybe folks are judging him on his goal output. He'll kick more goals next year. He covers so much ground that it's not unusual for him to be chopping out in defence. I'm happy with trade, Mcguane next year anyway, so we can hopefully trade into this years first

In a relatively shit side this season, he was a shining light. Played his guts out.

Watch key boards light up when Freo pick up a player with that pick and they become a gun.

And add to their trophy cabinet.

Oh hang on……

 

[Kirby]

And just like that here's the perfect example of what we're talking about. It's impossible for some to evaluate Schultz's performance without handcuffing him to the trade amount.

Maybe we should apply this rhetoric over and over again to all players and see how it goes for them:

"We all hope Quaynor improves and he probably will but last year's output would have been fine if he cost us pick 30 instead of 13"

I wish you good luck talking all this reason to idiots.

You are doing a great job but there are some thick people around here who will never understand.

Which we traded our first round pick for

Don't forget we got the "superstar" that was Dayne Beams 2019 version as well.

Imagine how it must feel having your performances criticised in comparison to a fictitious person. Then to make matters worse every time the team loses this made up person grows in stature and you get heckled even more. So of course you put more pressure on yourself to lift the team, which then causes more stress and mistakes, which you then blame yourself for when the team keeps losing, which then makes them heckle more...

It's honestly quite amazing that Lachie still had the clutch to win us that game against Brisbane. One of the highlights of the year

Spuds go alright, and Im from the Ballarat region, Ill stick up for me spuds

 

[Stronzatello]

Brainwashed again. We’ve paid a top 10 pick for a bloke to be 5th in tackles? Means he never had the ball. Terrible recruit

[Maggie5]

Means he never had the ball.

Neither did those after he tackled but perhaps did get a free kick.

 

[Markfs]

He's not as good as Nick. Why bother to get him? We should be recruiting superstars....

 

[sr36]

It's a load of shit so the bloke who recruited him keeps his job.

So you don't rate tackling?

One of the best aspects of our game. Imo.

 

[Markfs]

if a recruiter makes a mistake, they should be sacked... that's how capitalism works efficiently

 

[Kes1984]

Pressure is our style. 5th most tackles inside 50 in the league. I’d say the bloke did his job.

Now anyone still moaning about the cost of the trade, move on already! You win some, you lose some.

Didn’t seem to help Wrighty…

Well spotted Molly.

You know the top 10 part wasn't known at the time, a gamble. We shall see when we have a full strength forward line next year, something we rarely had this year.

Exactly. A gamble. Remember, the reason why sportsbet and these betting agencies are so successful is because the house always wins. Don’t gamble. Geelong a prime example the year before that with an ageing list and injuries, things can go south in a very even comp.

This is true. But not going to write shooter off just yet. In a years time if its more of the same then its cause for concern!

What?

 

[Finnishpie]

We expected more from him, but he's still a quality player. 6 of on and half dozen of the other.
