Been a big fan of his since he came to the club and so far this year has been a very important player for us. But after his stupid antics last week which arguably cost us a clear free kick late in the game and a chance to tie the scores, I wouldn't be surprised if he's made to sit this one out and think about his breech of discipline.
He was a dick head and needs a kick up the bum!
Should Schneider be dropped this week?

just leucoplast his gob shut.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

You're surely not suggesting that an umpire deliberately didn't pay a free kick to Schneider becasue he was still 'smarting' about Schneider's derisive clapping of him not awarding a free kick earlier?
To answer your question in the OP.
No I don't think Schneider should sit this one out.
It was an abberation When was the last time you saw him show a 'lack of discipline'? He seemed to be particularly peeved with teh umpiring on Sunday - maybe he felt he/we were being treated more badly than in previous weeks?

So is/do you 
What on earth's that going to achieve - how about he repay you by booting a few goals this weekend and preparing on the field for a super important finals campaign.
Big fan one minute, 'he's a d**khead' the next - seriously, everyone's gotta quit this jekyl and hyde panic and put this into perspective ... 'it's a marathon' strength through loyalty!

Graceful, elusive, strong overhead and no Easybeat!

As were Goddard, Montagna, King, Milne and even Blake at various times too...Mr Magic wrote: He seemed to be particularly peeved with teh umpiring on Sunday - maybe he felt he/we were being treated more badly than in previous weeks?
There was fury aplenty.
I suspect the cumulative effect of a lot of grizzling Saints had (possibly)more impact on the umpiring than Schneiderman's handclap.

be interesting to see if he's made to "really earn" his frees in the near future
don't expect any softies anyway, the events of last week won't be lost on the fraternity
I would never underestimate the power of the whistle and what some will do with it!
they like to educate players in their own way, and it often doesn't cease after the siren
not the cleverest thing to do on a footy field, particularly by a bloke of his experience, and he won't need to be told, just reminded!

I cannot believe what I’m reading here - Schneider the Scapecoat!!
So Schneider did a stupid thing, but these Umpires are supposed to be PROFESSIONALS, not influenced by a player’s petulance. If a free needs to be paid, then it MUST be paid. It should NOT be overlooked because an umpire feels slighted, or miffed, or peeved, or narked, or what-#*# you want to call it. If he doesn’t pay such very, very blatant free kicks, then HE most certainly is the petulant, unprofessional one, and should never be allowed to umpire again.
As far as I’m concerned, this umpire threw the game. I don’t care whether St. Kilda played well or not, or deserved to win or not, it is supposed to be a fair a sporting event and should not be subjected to any umpire throwing hissy fits, consequently influencing the game to get revenge!
For God’s sake what kind of sporting event has the AFL become if an umpire is allowed to punish an entire football club because a player got up his nose!!

Tony Jones never heard what was said to him - he's a liar!
The umpires didn't miss any baltant free kicks to us that night.
The umpires didn't pay any blatantly wrong free kicks to Freo that night.
It was just all 'swings and roundabouts' apparently.
As for Schneider's missed free kick in the last qtr - the umpire, although only 5 metres away, was obviously 'unsighted'.
It's just purely a co-incidence.
