Well said P4S. His competitiveness and pressure at the contest is contributing to our team goals. He’s one I’d like to have on my side in a battle.Pies4shaw wrote:^ this.

He had a couple of undisciplined moments on the back of a couple of high free kicks missed to him by the umps. Welcome to the non Collingwood frees paid Shooter.
He works hard for little personal results but we benefit positive team results from his efforts.

Never disperse your focus unless absolutely necessary. Face one adversary at a time!

^ aren’t we like 50:50 on the frees for against?
He obviously had the role to come up and nullify the contest around the ball given how good the bloos have been in that area. Did it well.
We’re not getting the player he was at Freo but we are getting a much better player than we lost.

The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

Nice little article on Lachie coming up to his 100th game.
https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/ ... cf8058a0f0
Yes it's paywalled, no I won't post the whole article.
Summary, he struggled with the external expectations in the first month.
Then we turn to the Blake Acres strike. Acres is one of his best mates, what was supposed to be a slap on the back turned into a punch to the neck, resulting in a sit down with Fly, as above.
Good luck tomorrow Sarge.

Personally, idiots who message athletes on social media abusing them because they caused them to lose money on their bets would best serve humanity by diving headfirst into a woodchipper and becoming garden fertiliser.He knew there would be expectation given Collingwood had handed Fremantle a first-round pick, but he found the dark side of fame when those meaningless multi-bets failed to hit.
“I think in the early days I struggled to comprehend it and I let it get to me a little bit more than I should have,” Schultz told this masthead of that month where he looked a little lost as the Pies’ new forward.
“People read so much into stats and don’t know enough about what certain roles are on the field so, yeah I had to turn off my messages to the public. As soon as I didn’t kick a goal my inbox would just light-up.”
Then we turn to the Blake Acres strike. Acres is one of his best mates, what was supposed to be a slap on the back turned into a punch to the neck, resulting in a sit down with Fly, as above.
Interesting that while he was being applauded internally in the first few rounds for doing what the club wanted, he was being bagged online for not kicking goals. The rest of the article goes into how happy he is to get to 100 games after being drafted as a 20 yr old while working as a plumber, fixing a drain in a basement. He didn't know he'd been drafted until he came up, got phone reception and had a missed call and message from Ross Lyon, along with lots of others.“Fly (McRae) sat me down and we had a really good chat about it all,” Schultz said this week. “It was a good opportunity to really see where I was at and (to) release some of that frustration I probably had.”
The 26-year-year old remains mortified about the strike and yet it might end up as a turning point, releasing the pressure valve for the former Docker.
Good luck tomorrow Sarge.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Nice article. I think Schultz will be fine in the long run. It's just a matter of patience and adapting to a new style and system.
He was brought in for his pressure game and being able to apply pressure in the front half of the ground. 10 goals in 9 games is a modest return but it is more or less his career average. If he's kicking 30+ goals by the end of the season, he's done his job in my opinion.
