Lachie Schultz (Shooter)

[Rick]

I hope he gets more opportunities than Kyle Martin ever did.

His teammates seem to have settled for Shooter (not sure if that's new or carried over).
This may have been posted somewhere, but he has struck me as a real quality lad in the few times I've heard him speak. Some great affirmation from Scott Selwood here, who himself impresses with quality insight.

This is a club that values others, which is why when people speak, whether players or coaches, they're incredibly humble and give the audience serious respect and value. That's something I rate highly in organisations.

Also noted is that Tom Mitchell is such a leading voice in terms of standards and fraternity at the club. It's fantastic to see him come somewhere he's valued, and give so much value in turn.

Drink this golden era up, folks. It's as good as organisations get. Of course, that doesn't guarantee success, but it is a necessary condition for success.

I’d love to know what the knock on this bloke is for him to have been overlooked in so many drafts. He looks like a pretty decent AFL footballer to me. He uses the ball well, finds it a lot and seems to also work hard off the ball.
Michael Barlow was another one who came from the VFL and made an immediate impact at AFL level, so we shouldn’t be overly surprised if Sullivan did hold down a spot in the Collingwood seniors ( albeit it’s a pretty strong and deep midfield ). Not sure how many “ extractors “ were prepared to play in our game day 23 but based on what I’ve seen, I’d be shocked if he doesn’t get a taste of seniors sometime through the season.
Sullivan is going to be a fascinating watch and it will be interesting to see if a number of clubs look back and regret not giving this bloke a chance.

While GWS have a more than handy backline, imagine how much our supporters will be up and about if we get the 4 points, and he kicks a handful.
Outside of Bobby and Jamie, he looms as the small forward that can deliver us an average of 2 goals a game over 2024 - Charlie Cameron level.
He's very much in the mould of Jamie Elliott with perhaps more defensive attributes to go with his goal sense.

How many for Shooter this weekend?

Also, a rumour going around this will be soon renamed 'Schultz'.

This is what a football looks like

[shawthing]

Send him back to the VFL and see if he knows what a footy looks like. I'd say Freo saw us coming and realised this was their chance to get back at us for the Paul Medhurst trade.

I would have subbed him off tonight. I know Fin was the easy target but between McInnes and Schultz we got nothing so 1 of them had to be subbed.

Fin needs to be given some confidence and I thought it was a chance for Fly to say hey stay on and see if you can lift.

When your teammates and Coaches rate your game it means a lot more than some armchair expert.

With Elliott and Hill as the main smalls down forward it is hard for Schulz to immediately find his niche. Give him some time.

[pietillidie]

^Agreed. It's a hard gig to come into a tightly bonded premiership team and pick up where you left off without some adjustment time. Not to mention there's a really big gap between personality types when it comes to major transitions like this.

[Newelly]

Yep and we should add McCreery as another competitor in the forward line.

He's not doing nearly enough to justify the cost of the trade.

4 games in and all we have seen is glimpses and this intangible "forward line pressure acts". Funny how a player can have so many pressure acts in a game yet fail to register a tackle.

Maybe a pressure act is running close behind your opponent who has the football.

Broaden your view on Schultz. He ain't no VFL player and settling into this side, FFS give him time.
23 pressure acts last night was elite, and he kept trying.
Elliott and Hill benefited from his efforts. He's as hard as a cats head.
It was his best game for us to date.

Pressure acts are great....but you expect that

For what its worth, SEN had him worst Pie on field:
Lachie Schultz - D

One disposal in the first half. A big shot for goal in the last quarter that hit the post. They can talk about positioning and defensive running all they like ... they gave up a future first-round pick for his talents. Needs to do more.
