Yeah, can't agree with that example. Jay had 7 seasons with us for 71 games and 58 goals. If he hadn't cemented himself after 7 seasons I wouldn't say we got rid of him too quickly.


It is fine to have differing opinions on this. 270 goals from 120 games after we traded him. Sometimes these guys take some time. Trading 24 year old key position players just doesnt sit right with me at all.

Jay Schulz is a perfect example of moving a kid on too early. We drafted him at pick 12 then put 6 years into him and traded him for Mitch Farmer. Schulz went on to be one hell of a good full forward for a 4-5 year period.

Big guys take time to develop. Patience is needed. Hope they show some with McBean.
Schulz was an ordinary KF, McBean is not a KF.

Sarge couldn't develop as a KF while Ricoh dominated the forward line.
Yep, Schulz was never any good at copying a game plan, scanning the field nor listening to the fax.

Schulz was a victim of being moved everywhere and anywhere.

Showed promise as a forward when he was young, then went down back for a few years. Then they tried him up forward again, then got rid of him.

Then he blossomed into a good KPF. However the move probably triggered the improvement in performance more than anything. Even Jay admitted that the move gave him a kick up the pants.
 
The Sarge has said himself his attitude was shithouse at Punt rd, getting the arse was deserved and gave him the wake up call he needed

Maybe a stronger coach would have laid down the law and forced him to get his act together.

I'm sure Plough tried that, then Dimma came along and said pack your bag with that attitude

Delisted.

Wonder if he'll get picked up?

As what though?

Ruckman? No.
Key forward? No.

Personally can't see it happening but we'll see.
Won't be surprised if he does, however I don't think he has what it takes anyway
