#8 Lachie Schultz

[Jezza]

Very exciting.

Great to see the club isn't standing still in the pursuit of further success.

He's a great pressure player and will complement our forward structure well.

Just watched the Lachie Schulz interview. He looks like Checkers' younger brother. Can hardly wait to see these two line up in our f50.

[Podpicken]

A raging little bull with a wicked goal sense. Can't help to notice how adept he is on both feet. Shoota Schultz, Bobby Hill, Billy Elliott and Beau McCreery terrorising backmen in our forward half excites me. Season can't start quick enough.

Certain to line up Round one

[Charlie Oneeye]

Schultz can fit our game plan like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle.

Not to say they can't play, but Adams and Ginni, were both required to play a role not really suited to their strengths. In fact, average compared to what Shultz will bring.

I think we will be jumping out of our seats.

Think James Clement and Paul Medhurst value … Thank you again Fremantle

Think Shultz although not like for like to Dan McStay but his known skills can bring goals.
That was what we got Dan for. To kick them or get the ball to our fleet foot forwards to kick them

Personally I think Schultz will be huge for us during his time at Collingwood. If you can kick 63 goals in two years in a team with the slowest most indirect ball movement in the competition while still copping the oppositions best small defender every week, then I don’t see how he can’t kick 40 + a season in black and white ( injury aside )
He’s now back home and is a noted professional on the track. Could easily win our goal kicking if he remains injury free and his defensive work will help keep the ball in our forward line longer and increase our scoring opportunities.

[LaurieHolden]

I've a gut feeling we know what we were getting and he's going to enjoy the big stage as much as we will watching him.

With the prospect of Elliott, Hill & Schultz lining up together, I haven't been as excited since we presented a small forward combination of Davis, Didak Elliott and Medhurst going into the 2010 season.

With Mihocek crashing packs and similarly Cox and Cameron resting forward doing the same, should give plenty of crumbing opportunities for all three of our smalls.

Ha, he quite possibly likes a beer and if he did, he wouldn’t be alone. Obviously you can still work hard on the track and enjoy a beer afterwards. As long as you don’t drink alcohol during rehab ( alcohol in blood stream slows recovery ) break a player self imposed ban and still keep meeting your physical KPIs, clubs dont generally get to bent out of shape over a celebratory grog or few. These days, with GPS data on every players performances, there’s nowhere to hide if the grog starts having a negative impact on your training and game day efforts.

Lachie Schultz predicted to have All-Australian season
“This is a shrewd piece of recruiting from the Pies’ list management group,” Jenkins said on SEN The Run Home.

“I think we’ll all truly work out how dangerous and potent the former Docker is after half a season.

The proof will be in the pudding as they say! As long as he is equal to or better than Ginny, I’ll be very happy indeed. Looks like a great pick up.
