At 7 years on an AFL list you should not be making excuses for a player being inj for a few weeks as the reason why he has had a few poor games in the ressies. He should be tearing up the comp now and played close to 100-120 games experience and be part of another teams planning when they play against us. He should be consistent and a go to player in our side. He should have a prescence about him on the field and have an ability to perservere and have an impact week in week out regardless of what the scoreboard is. I think the assessment of him being useless is harsh but apt.
What do you want from him Davey that we have all hoped for from him? This year was career defining for him as it was for our club and both failed abysmally. Time to move him on if we can find a suitable trade and if not as he is contracted for another year leave him at Coburg. At his age players don't improve to a new level at best he might be more consistent at VFL level but out of his depth at AFL level. In my opinion that does not warrant him to be retained on our list because we have a vendetta or bias towards him but because he is lost at this level. Plain and simple.
I find it funny that I'm now making 'excuses'. Gee, you can't say a thing in a maligned players defense on this site 
. What I said was fact, he played the entire 2nd half of the season on a dodgy foot. That's not me saying we should keep him because of that - that is me sticking up for him when a poster said he was 'useless' at VFL level. I'd like to see some of the keyboard heroes on here have a crack at playing injured as a key forward for Coburg when they're playing terrible, terrible footy. Whether or not he's here next season, I don't know. But everyone should accept the decision that's made on him. If that's him staying, okay, if it's him going then that is fine too.
Who wants another year of nothing but personal bashing of certain players....
got nothing to do with a keyboard pal its got everything to do with the fact he CANNOT PLAY.
You talk about playing injured as being one of the reasons he wasn't so effective in the last half of the year.
well you tell that to Nick Reiwvoldt who has had a dodgy knee all year or pants millane who played with a broken hand in the GF. Richo Broken cheek bone.
It never stops them from showing class every time they cross the white line.
If what you say is true, which i severely doubt then why would the RFC risk him getting injured further playing for Coburg.
Mate you need to come up with something better than that.
Its called playing for your jumper pal and this guy doesnt deserve one cent of his pay packet. He has delivered us 6 years of absolute garbage
Schulz is a hack of the highest order and his only claim to fame being a 6 goal haul which gets a mention every now and then when people run out of excuses for him.
we would best run out with 21 players next year because having Schulz there would further give off a bad example to the youngsters and further spread the cancer that he amongst others helped spread.
Haha. Why do you doubt what I said is true? Read the article earlier in the thread where he states he has bruised bone in his heel, and ask anyone who's gone to Coburg games if they think he's looked underdone. That's what I've said in his defense, and that's all I care to say about him at the moment. As for 'why would Richmond risk injury to him' - Well, it wouldn't be the first time we've had a cock up in the medical department. You can bag Schulz all you like, I couldn't give two sh!tes to be honest. I've said my bit about him, and haven't said anything about him being a good player or something along those lines. Save the Sarge bashing for someone who cares
