Will be interested to see what sort of role we have for him.
Given his pace and agility, I wonder if a he'd go ok as a tall wingman.
In any case, we havent given up the world to get him so if its a bust then we move on. Given our record with 'rejects', hopefully Schulz can be another...
I really hope Mitch makes hte most of it. Hes the sort of footballer you want to see make it. Nuggety, hard at it. A footballers footballer.
Port get someone who gives us some tall experienced depth who can play either end (we lack experienced depth at both ends). Hes 24....who knows...
20 is overstating it a fair bit.
He averaged 15 disposals this year (155 disposals in 10 games, with 28 marks, 5 goals and once in the best players)
Last year he averaged 16.8 a game (303 disposals in 18 matches, 68 marks, 3 goals, 6 times in best players)
His main weaknesses are that...
Re: Schulz off to Port?
Doesnt look or move like Ablett in any way shape or form. Doesnt have the explosive pace, the endurance or the insane agility that Ablett has. He has some good positive traits that could see him play 50-100 games...but being like Ablett is miles off.
Lennon was a fantastic SANFL footballer for many a year for Sturt.
DePasquale is still playing for Port Magpies. One of the hardest players playing in the SANFL...love the bloke. Pretty sure he was at most a rookie for you guys though and thought he was a pretty good player for Coburg at...
If you can teach Cockshell how to kick then he could make it. Ultra athletic, quite quick, good contested mark, looks like an adonis....but his kicking is quite possibly the worst youll ever see. Flip a coin between it going through the big ones or out on the full. From any distance. Ive...
Well if you actually give him a chance then it will be an improvement on what we gave him. Every coach seems to have his favourites and not so favourites. Thommo seemed to be one of Marks not so favourites
Due to no fault of his own. Was dropped in ROund 8 because he alledgedly had OP...
My favourite player. Fair to say im shattered hes leaving. And its Thomson. No P.
Very good inside midfielder. Gets his hands on the ball first, keeps his arms clear and dishes out a handball. His lack of foot skills is overrated. He isnt a disastrous kick. Hes just a stock standard...
I never liked him when he played with you lot. Thought he was a ball hog who tried to do far too much and almost always got caught. Thought he was overhyped because he kicked a goal over his head once.
I dunno...im reserving judgement, but we couldnt have asked him to do much more than what...
Definately ultra fit. Saw him doing some time trials at training a couple of times and finished half an oval in front of almost everyone else.
EDIT: Ive probably been a bit harsh on him. Its hard to tell because he was playing in a side that was getting thrashed every week (Sturt lost 4...
Eckermann played 10 SANFL Senior games for 119 Disposals, 18 Marks and 1 goal. No times in the best players. Played 9 reserves games for 8 goals and no times in the best players. Couldnt manage any more than 4 games in the Seniors in a row this year.
Its down from 16 matches, 240...
He played at the Port Magpies last year. Threw a tantrum and quit halfway thru the year because him and his daddy (just as bad as David Cloke) expected him to be a topline no.1 midfielder at our club but struggled to get in the league side. Arrogant and quite simply not that good.
I wouldnt...
Was on Richmonds rookie list this year, and jas just been recruited to my SANFL club the Port Magpies.
Just looking for a bit of background on him. Is he any good? Where does he play? etc etc
any help would be valuable
You are narrowing your clubs options if that would be the case. Did you think it might be your club that is the problem and not the kids. Port Adelaide hasnt had one interstate kid get 'homesick' yet, so either its your club, or you are drafting emotinally unstable kids.
Big Bad Brian Leys!!!! Bloody hero of mine. Assistant coach so im sorta expecting half our side to get reported in the first game for whacking people in the head!!!
Hey....just thought id say well done on getting to the final, and good luck on saturday night. Hopefully it will be a good close clean game!!
Good luck guys
Macca
Big Brian hey!! Played 3 or 4 years at Port Magpies, played in a few premierships...was one of our best half backs for the decade if not the last 20 years. Great player
