Schulz to Port

[Infamy]

Quite a few PSD & rookie selections with a fair bit of talent also, they were all taken after Pick 72 also

[Mr Magic]

No idea about this Farmer kid but Schulz had to go.

“It [joining Port Adelaide] was probably the best decision for both Richmond and myself,” Schulz said.

“This year was a rough one for everyone [at Richmond]. I wasn’t performing [and the club didn’t pick me], which was fair enough, but I still think I’ve got a lot to give.

“I don’t think I’ve achieved what my potential could allow me to achieve. Consistency has always been a thing for me. Hopefully, coming here, meeting the guys and having a set role will help me do that.”

IMO that was part of his problem. 
Ok i can hear you all typing response to me already and i did say PART of his problem, and he admited himself that he wasnt perfoming therefore didnt get a call up.
But even in his first few years he was thrown around the ground a lot to try and fill holes.
That would have certainly contributed to his lack of progress.

I agree Jocosh, infact it has been the problem for many of our players including Lids, Bling, Edwards, Polo, etc. It is very hard to gain confidence in yourself and your ability if you are continuously learning a new role/position/task. The whole team needs time to settle into a fixed position particularly our structural players.

David Neitz, Wayne Carey, Alastair Lynch are just three names who played some early football in the backline and in the forward line and it did not help their consitency.
71 games out of 154 with very few injury worries in 7 years is less than half games played in a side that has screamed for a KPP that has failed to make finals in any of his years at the club. Man has struggled. Enough of the excuses.

Loved the part where he says he really looks forward to learning off Tredrea..“I want to learn as much as I can from him [Tredrea]. He’s obviously been an excellent forward over the years,”

Well Schulz me old boy you spent how many years at Richmond with Richo and you learn't stuff all, good luck with Tredrea because Richo was and is 10x the forward he is and about 100000000000x the forward you will ever be.

That is one of Richo's bad points. It is "HIS" forward line (Like the old T shirt) he doesnt play well with others. There has been more than one occasion from memory when Sarge was young and was leading for a mark that Richo has either taken him out or come across the front of him to take the mark.
While i agree he will never be as good as Richo i think he will learn from Tredrea.

Meh.

Richo missed 3/4 of the season and Schultz could still not hold down a key forward position.

Should have peeed off back to South Australia 2 years ago

[Hellenic Tiger]

2005 till Brown broke his leg in round 10 Richo and Brown were tearing it apart.
Schulz thanks and see ya later. Should have been goodbye two years ago with pick 28 for us. Thanks Terry.

My post wasnt about Schulz being able to learn from Rhico. It was about Richo being able to teach people, as stated it is his forward line and he doesnt like sharing it with anyone.

[bojangles17]

i seem to recall him going alright with otto and earlier on benny gale...Id urge you to direct the spotlight elsewhere my friend

Schulz will be in Port's forward line next Saturday against the Crows

Yep the decisions in that whole 2007 draft were based on us misjudging who would be around at pick 18 and 19 and thinking the draft was thin after the first round. If we knew beforehand that Rance and Scott Selwood amongst others would be around at pick 18 and 19 I'm sure we would've done things completely different. No trading pick 19 for Jordie  and no demanding a swap of Port's first pick (16 from memory) with our second pick to send Schulz to the Power  . Oh well nothing we can do about it now.
