hes a lot like little blair at the pies. seems like a new kind of specialist player has emerged in the afl. every team will draft a short wide guy this summer. u watch.
I expected the kid to be quick - to be honest watching him at the ground he looked slow! Hate to say it but I was puzzled as to what the dogs see in him. The young kid Blair for the pies (also a shortarse) is a far better player I reckon.

I'd say they just wanted to inject some freshness into the side. Something new, different, to get a bit of a buzz going within the 22.
Youth can do that.
They could've brought 4-5 players in who had some experience but it wouldn't have had the same effect. They weren't looking for a match-winner, just freshness and excitement to liven things up.
Probably paid off. Little man played his part too; kicked a big goal and won three or four free-kicks.

Well, they're both short and fat.
At the moment, that's where the similarities end.
Unfair Beej..... Schnieder's fitness has increased dramatically since he came to the Saints. Has moved from a forward pocket player to a midfielder/forward, a role he could never do at the Swans because of his lack of fitness.
Australia...... Live it like we stole it....... Because we did.

No argument from me there.
No doubt his fitness has improved, but I reckon he's still eating well above maintenance.
All that aside, he's as dangerous as anyone else in our side bar BJ with the footy in his hands.
