Graeme Schultz

Graeme William Schultz (born 17 May 1953) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Schultz was a forward and rover, recruited to Essendon from Warracknabeal in the Wimmera Football League, where he kicked 122 goals in 1970 and played in Warracknabeal's losing 1970 grand final side. He kicked four goals on his league debut in 1971, against Hawthorn, which helped him to a season tally of 29 goals; this was just two behind the club's leading goalkicker that year, Alan Noonan. His 16 games in 1974 were deemed to be some of his best, as he finished third in the W. S. Crichton Medal count. President Greg Sewell described Schultz's game as "the best at Windy Hill for twenty years".

Injury kept him to five games in 1982, and in his first appearance of the 1983 VFL season, against St Kilda, he broke his leg. He did not play another VFL game for Essendon, but he was a member of their 1983 reserves premiership–winning team.

He spent part of the 1984 season with Footscray, without playing a senior game, before ending the year at Camberwell.

Schultz was given life membership to Essendon in 2011.
