Schneider...

[Milton66]

Of all our trades, I reckon he is the best.

I rate him highly. Has has very good skills, can thread a goal, and has a great footy brain.

He also has finals experience, and has played in a premiership team @ 21.

Is one of the top 10 most important players at our club.

Onve he develops his aerobic capacity, he has the potential to become an elite mid.

Love the Schneids.

+1 .. He is a star.

Clearly Ross saw the chance and its unbelievable to me that the swans let him go. He and Ray have fitted in so well. Master strokes that have helped to put us where we are today.

[reincarnated]

Reincarnated is unsure why both him and Dempster were let go for only a second round pick. Perhaps Reincarnated overated Adam however he/she/gt would have been satisfied at giving up our first round pick for him alone

Along with MG and King they are the best deals in Lyon's short reign thus far

[saintsRrising]

Yes he has bloomed.

And Milne, Mini and Schnieder make for a great trio.

[mick13]

Swans had salary cap issues IIRC.

Plus he was getting lazy...and Dempster was to Schneider as C. Gardiner was to King. Thrown in because he would have been delisted otherwise.

I actually believe Dempster is a very good and versatile player. And if it wasn't for him doing his knee last year he would have played every game and be having a crack at his 2nd premiership this year. He'll be back in the side next year.

But yes, Schneids is amazing at times. He really can turn games on their heads...as we all witnessed in 2005.

Here's hoping for a similar performance in 2009...

[bergholt]

The Age today has a brief bit about a Pete Hanlon article on Schneids tomorrow.

Apparently he's "played finals football every year since the under-nines". Pretty impressive record!

[Ghost Like]

Totally agree with OP.

Good games from Schneider and Gardiner this Friday will go a long way to us winning.

If I was left with one pick and had to decide between Schneids and Milne... I'd go Adam, hands down.

As much as I like Milne.

A lot of people thought that Schneider coming to St Kilda would be the end of Milney...

But he works better with another small forward in the side (ala Brent Guerra)

But yeah, I'd choose Schneids over Milney as well. Just a good thing we'll never have to think about doing that!

Schneider a good player, Milney a star. We easily forget how good Milney is.

Putting words into people mouths are you?

Regardless of Milne's career, I'd still take Schneids. He can play midfield, small fwd and brings more physical pressure than Milney IMO only.

Milne is yet to prove himself in finals... Scheider has.

[saintly_safes]

Has been good & if it's wet come Prelim or dare I say the GF he could be the difference.Farren Ray has been good, Zac & CJ have both been revelations so far , MG has blitzed,King has been steady but I take my hat off to the recuiting staff , well done everyone

Also much younger, at least 4 years or so isn't it?

Watch the first quarter against the Hawks. Schneider is as much a star as Milney is. I'd rate Schneids a better kick, tackler and marker of the ball. But Milney wins on epicness.

But theres really no reason to get into a debate about this though. Both can break games apart and they're clearly the best small forward duo in the league.

True, I reckon Mini's a better kick and tackler than those two...

Imagine if he could get 25 touches a game instead of 15!

A nice comment from Paul Roos at the end of the article, where he stated that the Swannies will be baracking for us, and that if RL, Scheids and Dempster are successfull, they'll be proud as a club also.

Super coach... nice guy.
