AFTER six behinds, one out-on-the-full and a couple of shots that fell short, Jay Schulz produced a much-needed highlight at the 19-minute mark of the first term between Port Adelaide and Richmond.

Schulz took a flying mark at the 50m line against his former side.

But just when the Darwin crowd got their first thrill of the night, they were let down once again as Schulz's set shot sailed right and went out of bounds.

He made amends later with the game's first goal, this time from a free kick.
