Fan's Training Day Photos

No wonder he has asked to play down back, he probably got sick of trying to play full-forward whilst interchanging 13 times per quarter. I thought he must have stolen Plough's tanning lotion or something.
 
Schulz is IMO the best equipped, body wise, to take on the big gorilla forwards. Not saying much however as we have alot of underdeveloped kids as key backs and Polak struggles man on man. Schulz was actually playing good footy at CHB before he got injured for and extended period against St.Kilda. It always puzzled me why he was never played there again after that.
 
Schulz will probably just get injured again. So far in his first 6 or whatever years he has been on our list that his body cant take the pressure of AFL.
 
perhaps he wants to be down back so richo won't get in his way

I reckon being a successful backman is mental. Playing in defence is a state of mind,you either have it or you don't.
You have to absolutely hate being beaten and are filthy when it happens. Thursfield has it, McGuane has it,
I'm not sure Polak has it , and I don't know if Schulz can find it either.

agrees, zero sign of filthy, every successful backman needs it

it's a helluva long shot with no grey area for him, brilliant if he works down the back half, *smile* / gawn if he doesn't

Schulz is asking for a gig in defence cos he knows it may be his only chance at getting a game.

Personally i dont rate Schulz as a defender one iota but thats my opinion and ive stated it the past with nothing having disproved my thoughts or made me change them Jay simply, is lazy, lacks intensity and concentration required, not effective enough at ground level and easily one of the most overated and underperforming players on the RFC list.

Polak Thursty and eventually Rance will be the tigers back 3 with Gourdis groomed for a possible Key Back (FB) role.

When we drafted him, what possie did he play for SA in the under 18's, i thought it was CHB, and if so, he has had experience in the position. I say give him a go for a while, do not drop him if he has a bad one, and see what he is made of. I personally think that young Rance will be our future CHB, but Schulzy may prove all of us to be wrong.
 
Personally I think Schulzy might go alright next year. He has just had the scare of his short AFL life being put up for a trade. Not many delisted players got picked up this year, everyone is going for youth. His body is AFL ready its just his commitment that needs improvement. Wherever he plays be it back or forward I hope he goes alright. Jack & Cleve are a long way off being the next key possie players so I for one hope Sarge goes good.

Go Tiges

I agree with you Rex, need to get some desire into him as well. Can't just go through the motions, I think the "penny may have dropped". We've just got to get our kpps firing, ready for post Richo. His body is ready just got to get some confidence in him where ever he's played

Schulz was all for being traded in fact he asked to be traded to the Power and wanted to go home to Adelaide ....... so i cant see how that is a a kick up the bum.
The kid was all for going to Port and the tigers denied him the opportunity by not taking 28 for him which they should have done .... but been said a million times now.

Schulz is without doubt one of the most overated players by RFC fans, and sadly even moreso by the coaching and management and shouldve been moved on already.

Funniest part is Wallet didnt rate him when he was in media and has now been coach for 3 years and kept Jay who has done sweet FA in that time.
