Official Club Stuff Q&A With Lachie Schultz

[Tonga Bob]

Hi all,

As just advertised here, in conjunction with the Fremantle social media team we are running a Question & Answer session with Lachie Schultz prior to the start of the 2023 AFL season, so I officially invite all Freo fans on the board to reply to this thread with your questions for Lachie by midday Perth time tomorrow 14th March.

Please make sure your questions are respectful and coherent. It goes without saying that we're probably the nutty uncle of the online Freo family, but your questions will be going to an actual person that you want to do well in his chosen endeavour, which is representing the Fremantle Football Club to the best of his ability. Some humour is fine of course, but just think about what you would ask him in person before posing your question here.

Big thanks to Tom, Brett and Lachie for taking the time to help get this off the ground!!!

I'll kick things off with the first question...

As a resident of central Victoria, I can see how ingrained country footy is to the community. What was your experience coming through the junior grades in Moama and Bendigo?

And a bonus question:

Williamstown & Fremantle as places seem to have a few similarities. How do they compare?

Alright punters, over to you...

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Lachie, you'd be pretty well known as someone who gives maximum effort every minute of every game, this must be as exhausting mentally as it is physically. How do you keep yourself running at 110% every minute you're on the footy field

 

[freo_dockers]

Thanks Bob! We'll get Lachie to answer your questions via this account most likely tomorrow afternoon, if not later in the week

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I’m just going to go for the Uber generic:

‘Lachie who is the toughest opponent you’ve been matched up on in an AFL game and why?’

You’re forgiven for not inviting me to King Road now Bob

 

[Square Peg]

Ah piggy asked the one I was most interested in so I will second that

 

[Taylor]

How many different roles within the team does Lachie prepare for on any random game day?

 

[s_wd6]

Lachie when will you sign a five year contract extention thanks

 

[Purple Suit]

Hi Lachie,
My son has a question - how and why did you decide to be a forward?

 

[One_Wing]

Who will be taking over the reigns from Logue and Mundy on the podcast?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I'll pop in another question, Lachie, if you could pick one other sport in the world to be good enough to be "starting onfield" calibre like you are with footy, what would it be and why?

 

[Taylor]

Copper or pex?

 

[Perfect Purple]

Lachie I’ve been a big fan of yours since the first day you donned the purple jumper. Which game that you’ve played has been your most rewarding to date?

 

[pK75]

Hi Lachie,

Who (apart from Fyfe) of your forward line companions is set to have a breakout year and why?

 

[Joao]

How are you (and the club at large) coping without the GOAT this year (Mitch Crowden)?

 

[poshman]

Now to the serious stuff - Was Jaeger upset when he realised you had the biggest guns at the club?

 

[Seppo]

Do players ever talk in the locker rooms or behind closed doors about their desires and wishes to be traded to another club or mates who play at other clubs wanting to come to
Freo?

 

[serial_thrilla]

Lachie, what is your go-to option when ducking into the bakery for a cheeky snack after training at Freo Oval on a Wednesday? There is a groundswell of support on this board for the vanilla slice - but I'm a big fan of the custard tart myself.

 

[King Huskii]

Hi Lachie

What's your favourite genre of music and what's artists do you listen to?

For example death metal, rap etc

 

[Dockeroo]

Lachie which skill do you think you have developed the most in your time at Freo since being drafted?

 

[King Huskii]

Hi Lachie
What routines such as yoga and pilates do you mostly do to keep flexibility in your muscles?

 

[Van_Dyke]

Lachie, how did changing jumper numbers from 28 to 5 come about after Cerra left? any competition at all?

and as a follow up question, how does Darcy and Clark as locker mates (i'm assuming) compare to Chappy and NOD?

 

[The Round House Drunk]

Hi Lachie,

Love the way you go about it.

Who were some of your favourite players when you were growing up, and is there a past or current player you model yourself on?

 

[Van_Dyke]

Lachie I’ve been a big fan of yours since the first day you donned the purple jumper. Which game that you’ve played has been your most rewarding to date?

and on a similar note, is there any personal moment/highlight of that stands out so far (e.g kicking game winners against the Saints in 2020, Crows last year, the massive mark and goal against Richmond in 2021, general chaos of the 3rd term against the Demons at the MCG last year)

 

[tonygeeks]

Shooter

You are officially my 2nd favourite current Docker

What are your chances of going past B Cox this year to become number 1*and how important is this to you ?

* don’t slack off Noddy is nipping at your heels
