Jay Schultz

Schultz's stats over the course of his career are ordinary. As someone said he's got more than 10 touches in only 6 games ? Doesn't seem to work hard enough for my mind.

I'd rate Meesen at around draft pick 15 - 25. Started to play well this year and in a weak draft, a pick of about 20 would probably be fair.

Schultz has struggled to make the grade at Richmond and has proved to be inconsistent. I'd be prepared to give up our 3rd rounder for him, but not our 2nd and definitely not our 1st.
How can you rip Schulz for his poor stats, when Messon's stats are even worse? He is worth no more than pick 25.

Hardly comparable when the Meese has only played 2 games and is only in his third season of football. As a ruckman he has been behind Clarke and Biglands for a large period of time and would have been first in line if he didnt break down at the start of the year which allowed Griffin and Maric ahead of him.

As for Schultz, I'd like to think that if your a reasonable footballer, you may be putting in a 10+ possession game more than 6 times in 49 games. I know stats aren't everything but that is pretty damning.

Anyway, it was just my personal opinion.
 
Meesen + Jericho for Meyer + Schultz

I don't hate that.

I think the second piece of the trade should be something other than Jericho, though, and we should send him to Carlton -

He does have a slight problem though.

He's facing serious criminal assault charges with intent to injure that are likely to attract a jail sentence if found guilty.

That would be a slight impediment to making a contribution. :)

Could make it difficult I guess.
 
I think Adelaide should get on Schulz. Make it a priority. Not for a Meesen straight-swap though. Schulz's got big upsides IMO and will require little outlay. You can see the ability there when you watch him play... stats aside. Often you'll find that certain players will struggle when surrounded by sub-standard players (Richmond) then will flourish when surrounded by better players. Rodan is a classic example.

The extra tall will allow a Bock for example to settle in the backline.

Re: Jay Schulz

I think Jay will be a far better player in a team that doesn't contain Richo. Whether that's with us in a couple of years or with Adelaide i'm not sure. I also agree that he'd benefit from the delivery he could get from Adelaide's midfield. I'm sure he'd salivate at the prospect of Goodwin, Edwards, Knights, Thompson and co delivering him the ball as the focal point of a forward line.
That said, i think that Meesen + 3rd round for Meyer + Schulz is way over the top. Two first rounders that haven't done much for another first rounder that hasn't done anything + an ordinary pick in a weak draft is a definite no-go.
Maybe more like
Meesen + Mattner for Meyer + Schulz
 
We’re in a very precarious position regarding our list management but we don’t need to go and do stupid things like draft (or even trade) for Jay Schultz, Cameron Faulkner or even Jordan McMahon.

If we venture into the trading process this year and it looks highly likely that we will, we should aim for draft picks as apposed to recycled players from other clubs. Let’s get as many picks as we can inside the top 35 and rebuild the list from there.

shultz just signed a contract, and is very much a required player at richmond.
He is a real talent who has suffered in sharing a forward line with richo.

He is slowly improving every year, and at just 22 has many years ahead of him to fulfill his potential.

Not tradeable.

Cleve Hughes on the other hand maybe tradeable.

And also, we are not intersted in Meesan. Hughes has already done alot more than Meesan. Only draft picks will be considered
 
You would be mad to not take a straight swap and we'd be mad to offer it. Schulz has only just tuned 22 FFS!! Has been in great form in the VFL and a victim of the Richocentric game play at senior level. FWIW Steven Salopek has always said that Schulz will become one of the elite players from that draft.
 
Jumpman i hope you're a little more realistic about Meesens trade value then the rest of this board....theres being bias and then theres being just plain ridiculous!

And bias it should be, FFS its not like anyone on Big Footy actually makes the decision.

Talking trades on big footy is just stupid as no one will ever post a scenario where their own clubs losses out.

What is John Meesen worth? No one really knows because no one is close enough to the inner sanctum of a football department to have that privileged information. So yes everyone on this board is bias but so is yours and so would every other 14 clubs in the AFL.
 
how about you crows except whatever garbage we want to give you for Meesen otherwise its PSD and you get nothing?:thumbsu::D

at best its schultz for meesen but the mattner & meyer is a nice sweetener:)

How about you shoot yourself in the foot, while many other Vic teams express an interest.

You miss out completely.

I hope your officials attitudes aren't the same as yours, as you'll be promptly laughed out of the building.
