Jay Schulz [Merged]

And Wallace was gloating about Shultz doing well at Port on SEN this morning as well.

Yeah I heard it too. Glowing gloating on the Matty White issue. Funny how he mentions now that 'someone' at Port called him last year for advice on how White plays. I'm sure White's last 4 years under Dimma would be a better analysis.

"That's why he's the list manager.
Knows a good player when he sees one."

Funny one se7en. Had a chuckle there.
Wallace knows jack about list management but hey he and others call him one so he must know a thing or two !

 

[walhalla tiger]

He was crucified by Wallace. Never liked him or rated him as a player.

Played out of position and in the shadow of Richo for so long. With our lack of developing talks back then he stood no chance and he wanted to leave in the end. Don't blame him.

I genuinely liked Sarge. Thought he had much upside.

Good on him. Doing well at Port and their game style suits him.
With our current game style we would probably be baying for his blood.
Will play finals with Port you would think.
Wish him the best. I hold no ill feeling towards him.

nailed it, particularly the richo effect

Should have said, 'he will play finals again with Port".

 

[BillyJean17]

You got to wonder if he did stay with us , what his role would be ?

Wallace was playing his as a chb

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Wallace was playing his as a chb

Couldn't even crack it for a game under Rawlings, when 34 players were tried in 11 matches. Cards were well and truly marked.

 

[seven]

He didn't want to at the club any more.
Wanted to go home.

 

[SAF]

What would Jay being doing if he still played for us?

Well that is obvious, he is a decent key forward capable of taking contested marks inside 50 and kicking goals so obviously he would be playing up on the wing and pushing up to the congestion in middle. We don't have stay at home forwards anymore and it is working so brilliantly for us this year. Why would we want to have a strong lead up forward playing out of the goal square, what a stupid idea that is.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Only regret is that we didn't trade him a year earlier when a better deal was on the table. 71 games in 7 years, tried forward and back... Late maturer, playing good footy under coach #7. Good luck to him.

About the size of it, brother. No mystery here.

 

[Merveille]

He was never given a chance to develop and settle. Always the first dragged and dropped. Confidence and belonging were never cultivated. He did enough, and put his body on the line enough, to deserve that chance.

Worse, Richmond needed to give him that chance of contiuity, within games and game to game, and it never happened. Port did it.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

That was my reading of it, too. However as others have pointed out the club did have the opportunity to get a deal for him and elected not to take it.

 

[Brodders17]

Full forwards don't exist anymore. One didn't kick 7 today did they?

he kicked 7 in a thrashing. last year he kicked 49 in 24 games. did he play as a traditional full forward then? i hope not.

 

[Knastu]

No, played at CHF for a lot of last year and has done it for most of the first 4 games this season.

 

[Brodders17]

No, played at CHF for a lot of last year and has done it for most of the first 4 games this season.

ok, so he doesnt play as a traditional full forward, despite what some on here have said?

i should add im not bagging him, he has become a decent player over the last few years.

 

[martyshire]

I chatted to him at the cocktail function in his last season with us. He was trying not too give much away but I could tell he was frustrated by the way he was being played. Didn't get the impression he wanted to leave though.

This thread is like watching a dog yack, walk off a few paces, then return to lick it back up.

Jay Schulz??? How about that Brad Ottens guy? The original donut.

Thanks Tommy!

I needed a laugh after having to do an emergency evac practise from my building!

Cheers

Interesting comment from the Schulz interview at:

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/jay-schulz-port-adelaides-frequent-flyer-thrives-on-being-grounded-20140418-zqwa4.html

........
Schulz knows coming to grips with the demands of AFL football took him a lot longer than many of his contemporaries. Now it feels as though a frustrating puzzle has been finally put together.

“I’d be the first to say I probably went along for the ride a little bit more when I was at Richmond. I didn’t grow up till I was 23 or 24, and started realising that I actually wanted to do it and could do it, and that if I didn’t change something it was going to be gone and my career was going to be wasted.

“I wish I could go back to then and give myself a bit of a shake-up, but at the same time if I’d done that I may not have turned out to be the person I am today. I’m proud of who I am now and proud of the footy I’m playing at the moment, but I also want to keep getting better.”
.......

I wonder how many other current RFC listed players would also fit into that situation?

 

[Mr Brightside]

Not just Jay, not just indeginous, not just country kids, not just ex RFC, people simply don't get how hard been AFL player is mentally, of all the gun young footballers I played with I don't think any of us would have had the mental discipline to make the grade at AFL , yep they have lots of help now and it's a fantastic opportunity, but those years of your life fly past quicker then the first day you get your Ps
