Rumour Schulz may go to Freo

[Strapping Young Lad]

How is a competent key forward not the cherry on top for Freo?

Because Pavlich is looking like not being there, so Shulz will be it.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Schoenmakers very nearly did win us a flag as a CHB, toweling Reid in 2012, that's why Lake was a finishing touch to allow Gibson to play third man up.

Freo are devoid of key forwards, hence they're looking at Shulz...and tried to get Schoe last year.

And Schulz could be a finishing touch to finally give Pav some support up forward, even if it is only for a season.

If we get Schulz I could definitely see Pav going around another year.

 

[Defacto]

would be a really good fit for freo

they should throw the kitchen sink at him

spot on, would give you enough time to get apeness and tabenar settled as well and any other tall you target

 

[Ok Boomer]

Hes almost finished, Freo cannot possibly be thinking him and Pav together for that reason.

A few years ago it would have been great though.

 

[iBeng]

Shouldnt North have dibs on aging forwards?

...Or Brisbane...

 

[SA HAWK]

Worth a crack if Pav retires and there are no better options available.

While you are in with a chance to win a premiership you do what you can to give yourself the best shot at it.

 

[Iron]

Because he's a top 10 forward?

Have you watched him at all this year? Massive respect for the guy but he's past it.

 

[The_Reaper]

Worth a shot by Freo.

 

[juss]

He's played his best football over the last few years, but he's past that peak now. He's probably only got 2 years left of 30-40 goals production at best. Is that really worth it for them? Surely there'd be younger options out there that could produce the same as a number 1 forward.

 

[Cobbler]

We're talking about top up players, not building for the future. Schultz at 30 has a couple of years of competitive football in him and would most likely bring more to the table then our scrawny rookie picks who are still developing.

Too many people write off good players way too early on the back of a poor season.

They were saying the same about Sandilands 3 years ago and everyone thought McPharlin was well past it, hell even Pavlich a few weeks ago had everyone saying he's done... he then towels up Alex Rance and has had a solid 4 weeks.

The problem is when you get compared to your former glory then often it comes up short.

Schultz has had a poor season in a few peoples eyes but when your other option is Taberner, it's a no brainer for me.

We can't all just want to go to Hawthorn and get a free ride.

 

[Bob Fossil]

But at the time it was seen as a bold move, but for some reason we are "desperate"

I know as a West Coast fan this probably comes across as a troll or whatever but it isn't.

If you get Schulz in it is more of a desperate move as it isn't great for the age profile of your list, development of the kpf's you have and the potential to acquire a longer term option like Dixon or whoever.

Realistically Pav has one year left maybe? Schulz possibly similar? It doesn't necessarily reek of desperation but it is a roll of the dice for a flag.

I honestly don't see the fuss. We get criticised because we can't land a big name and get criticised because we don't score enough. Schulz would give us another solid marking option up forward and would have 2-3 years left in him. Can act as a stop gap between Pav and our young Key Forwards (Taberner and Apeness.)

I understand your point but I am not sure he has 2-3 left in him. That is the gamble.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Love Schulz, junkyard dog. May have only had one stellar season but this year's Port and those year's Richmond were barely the helpful midfield Freo has. His best is also better, and was there for longer, than a punk like Dixon as well.

Him and Black would be a great one-two. I have no faith in Taberner, and even those who do would surely realise he's nowhere near AFL-ready for next season or the following.

 

[The_Reaper]

What is exactly wrong if Freo are desperate for a flag?

The aim is to win flags and if you're close and have a good midfield at the moment like Freo does then what's the harm in chasing Schulz?

 

[peppy la pew]

All well and good labelling Freo deperate, fact is we are.

We desperately want to win a flag, show me who doesn't

We are in a closing window and Schulz is a perfect top up for a position we are desperate to improve.

I reckon we have approached every KPP available, but getting them over here is a bridge too far.

Schulz might be the missing link, there again he might be a Jack Anthony

well you are desperate. you're throwing offers at anything over 195cm

but hey if my club was in the same position they'd probably be making the same moves

hope it works out for freo

 

[peppy la pew]

Not too sure on Black though, we had a crack at bringing him home a couple of years ago,

Since then he hasn't been able to get back into best 22. If Waite is ahead of him

 

[Waspy79]

Makes more sense in light of the Dixon to Port rumours surfacing today

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Gotta say.. I really love the Schulz. I really hope he stays.

 

[Grandaddy J]

Will stay unless the Dixon rumours hold any credibility. No logical scenario where we let go of our only mature KPF for nothing.

 

[RightYouAreThen]

Imagine if they got

Hooooooooooooooooogggggaannnnnnnn

They could have hogan schultz and Lecras...

 

[Cleric]

Will stay unless the Dixon rumours hold any credibility. No logical scenario where we let go of our only mature KPF for nothing.

The future will be given his opportunity to own the forward 50.
