Hi all,
As Jay's president I'd like to present this PRE interview.
As we all know Jay was injured in rd2 after he received these questions. Fortunately he has responded after the injury and his answers are still relevent.
I'm sorry if your question wasn't asked. Please bear in mind Sarge was offered a selection of questions that were deemed appropriate and was only asked to answer those he felt he could.
Enjoy.
Q & A with the Sarge
Hi Jay,
Firstly, well done on your new contract and promotion to the junior leadership group.
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer these questions, the RFC supporters at the Punt Road End website, really appreciate it.
The question will be followed by the poster's alias:
When you were growing up who was your role model?
Tubytiger
Roger Merrett and Bruce Lee
Tell us about your early beginnings in footy and how you came to be drafted?
Phantom
Grew up playing football in the country, then moved and played with Woodville West Torrens in the SANFL when I was 15. Played state footy ( and for Australia against Ireland )at under 16’s & 18’s. Then got Drafted to Richmond at 17 Years Old.
In your debut year you kicked six goals against Brisbane, what positives influenced that performance?
Dirty Dog Tiger
I guess I was in the right place at the right time. This performance against Brisbane proved to me that I did have the ability to perform at this level.
What areas have you improved this year and where do you see you still have to improve to consolidate your place in the team?
Gustiger12
This season I have really improved my fitness, but I still feel there is more room for improvement. I would also like to get a better understanding of playing in defence.
What do you do to relax, any specific hobby/ pastime?
Anduril
I enjoy playing basketball with friends, watching movies and listening to all types of music.
Where do you think you play your best football and where do you think you should be playing? ie, FF, CHF or CHB.
Skiptomystu
Where I play my best football really depends on the opposition team. When I was growing up playing football I played a lot of games in the forward line, and now since playing more senior football I have moved to become more of a backline player.
Do you read the Punt Road End website and, if so, have you been influenced at all by any of the comments that are posted there (both positive and negative)?
Crystal
I don’t actually read the website, but my father does and keeps me updated with its content relating to me. I also heard what was written about Dean Polo last year which was not to popular down at the Club.
How do you motivate yourself just before a game?
ChiangMaiTiger
Generally I try to relax before a game, listening to music through my IPod.
How did you feel being promoted to the junior leadership group and what does that mean to you?
ToO
It was a massive honor to be promoted to the junior leadership group, it was a real complement from the players and coaching staff to be promoted to this position, and that they see my potential in this way.
Which player/team do you most look forward to play against and why?
TigerArmySoldier1
I don’t really look forward to playing against any teams, basically because they are all tough sides, there is no such thing as an easy beat side in this competition.
What are your goals in footy this season, long term and after football?
Scoop
My goals for this season basically include getting back from injury into the senior side, and being able to hold my position there for the rest of the season. Long term I’m looking at being a 10+ year player for the club. As for my future after football I am still undecided as to what I would like to do.
As your player president & on behalf of all the supporters at the Punt Road End Site, I'd like to pass on a big thankyou for taking the time to do this.
We wish you all the best for your future career with the RFC.
Go Tiges!!
* Big thanks obviously to Jay Schulz, Greg Miller & our very own Tuby Tiger who helped me make this happen.
Cheers
