Schneider man
We created heaps of opportunities inside our 50 last night.
But when the ball wasn't marked by Roo, Kosi or Goddard it spilled free for the Melb defence to clear fairly easily.
Normally Milne would be hovering to either crumb the spillage of put pressure on the defence.
Why wasn't Schneider getting himself into those positions?
Difficult to pick up where he was on the telecast, and maybe he was playing a different role?
But he certainly didn't seem to be where a crumbing forward should be.

Just proves how good Milney is. Nice player Schneider but no wherenear Milney.

I havent seen the game at all, no foxtel . Both of our small forwards have been sucked up the ground for the last couple of weeks though. Concerning trend IMO.Animal Enclosure wrote:Schneider also played further up the ground & I thought he was a pretty good link to the fwd line.
He delivered the ball beautifully too.
We definitely missed the Tip Rat
Maybe this year?

He may not get heaps of it but usually does something very useful when he does. I like him out there.Enrico_Misso wrote:We created heaps of opportunities inside our 50 last night.

Re: Schneider man
Well from my view at the game on the wing I would say it was because Mini was the designated crumber....with Schneider playing well out from goals.Enrico_Misso wrote:

But Milne is elite in the role.

Re: Schneider man
agree there's no-one better than milne at it. but others, including schneider, can do it better than macqualter, imo.saintsRrising wrote:No harm trying him.bigcarl wrote:is maqualter dangerous enough on goal to play that role, do you think?saintsRrising wrote:Well from my view at the game I would say it was becaise Mini was the designated crumber....with Schneider playing well out from goals.Enrico_Misso wrote:

gwilt and mini have been effective at times this season as defensive forwards, but i wish they'd offer a bit more in the way of goals.
that's more so for gwilt than mini though.

I think that Ross likes Schneider playing as a link man across the wing as he delivers the ball beautifully to the big forwards.
The earlier post was spot on re: Mini being the fwd line crumber.
Personally I thing Schneider has been very good all year but there is only one Yapper (he would have kicked 3 or 4 on Sat night).
