It is with sadness that I can confirm that our wonderful Bulldog legend has passed away over night.

Vale, great man.

What a joy to watch his joy in 2016.

Gentleman John Schulz’s playing record confirms him as one of our all time greats.

I feel privileged to have met him, albeit briefly, a few times.

A club legend. Lovely bloke, old school charm and RWB through and through. Condolences to friends and family.

Gentleman John, a sad day for the club, was just awesome seeing him on stage for the 2016 Premiership and then walking back down when the team all got up there, then standing in front giving the team a clap for what they just achieved for the club looking so damn proud of the boys.

Very sad news.

The way he was embraced as part of the club in his later years was very nice to see.

Hopefully we make his family proud with a performance fitting to a great man on Friday night.

Sad news indeed. A great man, a Bulldog champion who will never be forgotten. It was wonderful to see him centre stage in 2016. He was a hero of mine when I first started following the Bulldogs. Condolences to family and friends. Vale John. You have left your mark on those who come after you.

One of the absolute top shelf legends of our club, both on and off the field.
I've always felt that guys like John personified the very best of what may me identify with the Bulldog narrative.

Vale John … such a great bloke.

Thank you for making my son feel so welcome in 2018 in the club rooms after the loss to Hawthorn. He was distraught and you took him under your wing and introduced him to every player. You made his whole trip to Melbourne worth while.

Condolences to family and friends xx

Wonderful man. True gentleman from a time when that meant something.

Wonder who will rove to him in heaven?

His funeral will be on the 17th at 2 pm and televised for those interested.
Hopefully he has some influence up there and get us another flag, I am sure he will be trying.

RIP John Schultz.

Condolence to his family and friends.

A Bulldog legend. 1960 Brownlow Medallist, 1961 All Australian and a 5 time Charles Sutton Medallist.

Was a great moment when we won the flag in 2016 when he presented the cup.
