Lol in the 8, make the most of it

If you don't think Schulz has shown improvement this year then I'd suggest you are in a very small minority.

is schulz better than last year. possibly but he is still crap and i will never be happy that this guy is still on our list.

big massive test is the next month. if he continues doing what he is doing then i suppose u cant ask for much more than that.
however lets not kid ourselves we played a fremantle side that are really crap. a good win it was but to back it up against buldogs would mean the world to this club and its players.........

So - he's poo, and he'll always be poo.

But if he plays well thats good.

Expert comments as always champ

ur such a tosser bentleigh, apparently no one can have a opinion except for urself.
im saying he is playing better than last year however 4 games doesn't justify his position.
if i had a choice right now id say get him off the list asap.
but if he continues this form in the next month against quality opposition then yeah keep him for sure.

its funny after one win hearing the lot of you. the tone in your comments as if we are automatically a top 4 contender after beating fremantle.


lol

[Tigermonk]

my mates that follow Freo & were at the game said it was the worst performance ever they seen & walked out at 3/4 time
was it the way the tigers played that caused them to be so bad on the day is YES
confidence in a beaten up side could grow like Hawthorn beleive & play so let just enjoy the week & see what comes of it

Correct Daniel, one win and they think the problems are solved, reality is just around the corner.

We're just enjoying the week - it's bliss
No-one is deluded about what we face.

Oh my - the irony.

"OMG we are still crap, sack the coach, board and every senior player !!!"

 

if i had a choice right now id say get him off the list asap.

Why?

He is a 22/23 yo KPP and is starting to show his worth, former 1st round draft pick.

Many many KPP are stars @ 22?

He isn't Johno Brown but he's developing at a decent rate.

the tone in your comments as if we are automatically a top 4 contender after beating fremantle.

Not what I'm saying at all. I think our list is still average. Needs another major clean out of senior players who are not doing enough and need to use the rookie list better.

However the current regime should be given until the end of the 5yr plan to show their worth.

 * this thread was made before the Freo game
 * Freo have had many, many worse games than that one

[Judge Roughneck]

One last bit of boring stats to back up my theory about why we need to give the current coach untill the end of his 5 year contract.

The only senior players we have are:
 - Richo, Bowden, Johnson, Brown, Simmonds.
Games played in that group 260 to 161.

We have no players in the age games group from 160-120. Geelong have 8, including the like of Ling, Corey, Mooney, Ablett, Chapman etc.

How can you expect a coach in this postion to have success at this stage? (yr.4)

The only players we have: 118-50 are the following
 - McMahon, Newman, Pettifer*, Polak, Hyde*, Cogs, Tuck, Deledio, Tambling, Foley, Raines, Schultz.

You cannot expect those last 5 to near their prime untill at least 2009.

Deledio, drafted 3 seasons and 4 rounds ago is our 13th most 'games played' player.

26 other players on the list have played less than 40 games.

Long way to go lads.

---

Perhaps by the 2nd half of the season the side will look something like:

Polak Thursfeild King
Newman Rance McMahon
Deledio Cogs Cotchin
Morton Reiwoldt Connors
Brown Schultz Edwards
Patto Tambling Foley
Richo Simmonds Johnson Tuck

 - Raines, Jacko, Polo as the starting midfeild for the Burgers.

Don't you go bringing FACTS in to support your argument.  That's not very OER at all - stick with the innuendo and 'wink wink', it will make you sound much more passionate and knowledgeable.  If you know what I mean.

Compare that, which is what I think should be roughly our best 22 hopfully sometime soon, to the Hawthorn side this week.

Guerra - 26
Gilham - 24
Brown - 24
Ladson - 24
Croad - 28
Mitchell - 25
Bateman - 26
Crawf - 33
Osborne - 25
Williams - 25
Taylor - 25
Sewel - 24
Hodge - 23
Campbell - 25
Clarke - 26

Not a young side, myth.

But they have a decent middle teir - which we don't.

I know what you're taking aim at, Smokey.
Got to say though that bringing facts in to support an argument is actually very OER. 
The 2 people who run this site deal in facts and researched information.
