#8 Lachie Schultz

[Piesnchess]

WELL done Lochie, you made some of these armchair critics here, to just STFU, they must be very silent now. I knew you would come good, you just needed time to settle in, to our style of game same as McStay did too, he used to cop shit from dickheads on here , and elsewhere, an without him, we would not have made last seasons GF. As Matty Lloyd said today, and I quote, " Make NO mistake, Shultz is going to be a superb player for Collingwood, in the future". Well said Matty , I take your word over numpites on here, anyday.!

[Pies4shaw]

I think they probably are all just pleased for Schultz that he had an impact, especially after he didn't make the distance from 35 m out with a crucial kicki in the third quarter. They're probably no happier with the decision to recruit him. I know I'm not.

... this club hasn’t had a lot of luck with first round draft picks.

Collingwood first-round draft picks in the last 10 drafts:

2014 - De Goey. Moore
2015 - None
2016 - None
2017 - Stephenson
2018 - Quaynor
2019 - None
2020 - Henry, Macrae, McInnes
2021 - Nick Daicos
2022 - Allan
2023 - De Mattia

So 2 non f/s success stories in 10 years, yep, Lachie Schultz was definitely a smarter bet.

PNC, I am not sure what a numpite is, but is it somehow related to you mis spelling both his first and last names?

The Lochie Ness Monster was finally sighted at the G. Well done nessy!

[derkd]

New nick's name 'Locie Monster'! Love it

[Piesnchess]

Also kicked more goals from the same amount if games as the little sook he replaced…

So anyone claiming it’s been a complete dud and we’d have been better off keeping Ginni to his contract when he wanted out is off the mark.

Imagine how shit Ginni would be playing if he didn’t want to be here?

Well said, could not have said it better myself.

NO, my grandson is called Lochie, to all of us, and I was going by the old TV show, Hogans Heroes, the German sgt, with his second name spelling.

His pressure game & tackling was one of the comps best
I look fwd to he and Beau forming a battering ram fwd line. Helping them and others to score heavily

[SLORT]

Avg Pressure Acts 2024:

McCreery - 20.1 (10th overall for med/mid fwds)
Schultz - 17.4 (22nd overall)
Lippa, Elliot - 15.2
HH ~ 15.1
J Richards ~ 14.8

Looking back over his career 17-20 seems to Lachie's number. Must admit that Lippa surprised me as he often seems to be a bit laconic at times.

I like Larchie Schluss...
He's a proven good player and unlike Nicksters that have shown severe numptitic tendencies.

A timely reminder of why the Sergeant was recruited...

Lachie Shultz will be around and doing the job he was recruited for long after Ginnivan and Hokism has vanished from footy

[Big T]

While I like Lachie I think the article is yet another political piece aimed to deflect from the loss of our first round top 10 pick in a super draft. They stuffed up, not Lachies fault, but they can’t change it and it is what it is.

That’s a big call - are you expecting him to play until he’s 40?
