Schneider's Game

[Mr Magic]

The transformation is complete.
When we traded for him we got a 'goalsneak' forward pocket.
Now we have team-oriented tackling, smothering, blocking, harrasing 'goalsneak' machine!

His stats don't necessarily tell you the effort he puts in and the effect he has on the game.

A true revelation is Schneider. He has become an integral part of our 'Lyon's Cage'.

[Seaford_Saint]

Couldn't agree with you more Mr Magic.... his intensity has been building throughout 2009, and tonight he took it to a new level.... simply irresistable forward pressure.

[Badlands]

Totally agree Magic.
His workrate and 2nd efforts up forward are just fantastic at the moment.
I had to find room for him in the votes last week despite some other outstanding individual efforts. I think he laid something like 8 tackles, but as you said, stats don't show the blocks off the ball, or the pressure that results in turnovers even when you don't actually lay a tackle.

I had raised eyebrows when we signed him, but geez I'm a convert now.
Love the Schneiderman!

great post. the guy is just awesome - he is contesting like a lunatic and still has his attackig flare! he is also playing the team game and hitting targets.

i was thinking tonight while was watching the game. what was paul roos smoking getting rid of 2 young players like scneids and dempster when his team is clearly ageing (oloughlin, crouch, kirk, boltons) ???
he must have smoking some wacky stuff after they won the flag.

What did he get for that trade ....Craig Bird , from memory....

i have always been a huge admirer of the lesser players (in terms of profile) and prefer to pick them as my favourites, have always loved grammy * waits for abuse* and schneids is my boy now as well.

love him.

Ah, so he was responsible!

Reckon he has been great all year. Great pressure in forward 50, quick hands, great team man. A fav of mine!

[Armoooo]

I was saying during the game, he is in our 3 smartest players in the side probably along with Goddard and Riewoldt.

Great call Armoooo. I agree with that!

[kaos theory]

A key player in the team now.
Great second efforts, fantastic kick...his passing into the forward line to set up Roo was excellent.

He is the smartest I reckon.
I was really excited when we got him, then I got disappointed much of 2007, and now I love him as much as anyone.

Best tackler in the side for mine.

[Solar]

was BOG for mine...

knows where to go and when to go. Is the thinking mans forward.

[jonesy]

He's exactly the type of player that can win you a Grand Final in 10-15 minutes. Can't replace goal smarts come September.
Was rapped when we got him. Dissapointed with his first half last year, but came good as the year went on. He's a game breaker,with another side to his game now

[Munga]

Really good footy smarts:
Schneider
Riewoldt
Jones
Dal Santo
Fisher
Goddard

I'd say McQualter is charging up there as well. Baker and Hayes up there too.

[mick13]

Dude he set up (and kicked) 3 goals in a row I think.

I had to change my pants.

Gawd, I could say the same thing about everyone, they were all f****** brilliant.

i have decided to stop wearing pants when i am watching the games at home.
come finals time when i get to games ill have to improvise

[Quixote]

I thought he was our best player.

Nuff said.

[Duggie]

Has added great diversity to our attack

[perfectionist]

They got draft pick 26. Brett Meredith. Craig Bird went at 59. Bearing in mind that we got Adam Schneider and Sean Dempster, they got the bird anyway!

[claystreet]

Loved it when he slapped the footy out of opposition hands into the umps nuts, gimmee back my footy

[oh when]

Any one who kicks five goals in a grand final - can play

[plugger66]

Any one who kicks five goals in a grand final - can play

Shane Ellen?

[stinger]

[Premiers2009]
