happy birthday Jay Schulz -Sarge

Finally he is getting the opportunity to have a high % of time on the park and also being spared the job of going back and forth between Richmond and Coburg.
Happy Birthday Sarge! Keep on improving because you are coming on in leaps and bounds...I still think you have mark of the year in you somewhere!

The thing that impressed me most about Schulz yesterday was his workrate and physical presence.
He made a handful of errors and at times his awareness is still lacking but he is getting more involved and unlike previous seasons he is not falling off the contest or disappearing from the game.
Much of the above must come down to an improved fitness base. For once in his career Sargeant Sleepy looks fit.

Jay is putting in 2nd efforts and is working hard for his team mates off the ball by applying shepherds, spoils and tackles.
It ain't glamourous nor shows on the stats sheet but it's invaluable.

To pick up 20 possessions & kick a goal was a bonus.

I hope he can keep it up.

Agree , the shepherd he ran 50 metres to apply on the wing with us streaming forward in the last quarter was a pearler. The earlier comments regarding a solid fitness base are spot on. I think the ankle and shoulder injuries affected him more than we think. He is starting to display the skill and mongrel we saw in 2004.
 
The Sarge really is an enigma.

He pretty much didn't turn up for the first quarter against Melbourne. Fronted after then but as usual there were lapses in his concentration. Some of the stuff he does is from La-la Land.

And at times he'll clean somebody up and then two minutes later he'll just give up in a contest.

His first two shots were behinds - left foot shots on the run. He didn't run the correct line for either shot. Lazy. Half-arsed. The kicks were technically fine except he didn't aim his body, amend his line, at the target.

His mark on the lead 15m out was very good. Not long after his opponent sneaked up the other end to kick a goal.

The set shots he looked proppy on the right. That's been the case for eighteen months or so now.

This bloke has all the ingredients of a footballer but repeatedly goes AWOL. Concentration has always been the problem. You'd go mad if you coached him.

If Dud Wallace installed Schulz at FF every week, made him lead and play like Lynch did at Brisbane, then his run up and kicking accuracy wouldn't be a problem after settling in and it would also offset his 'plodder-type' look when running around the ground as a defender.

Look the guy must be getting dizzy.One minute he plays back,then forward,then inbetween.Reading previous posts regarding lineups,he has been named FB,CHB,CHF,FF,HBF,HFF,Coburg. How is he expected to settle.If he has a lapse in concentration,it is probably due to him not remembering whether he is a backman,or forward.
IMO he should be played as a key forward with the licence to mongrel the opposition.

How does that explain previous years when he's been played forward?

IMHO its at CHB or nothing. He's looked good there in previous matches. He can't work with other forwards.
