ST KILDA: Keen on Sydney's Adam Schneider

[CURLY]

Stats more than often arent the best indication on a players worth. Prime example 22 possies from Dal Santo are twice as valuable than 40 from Carrazo

[Langi]

Shouldn't we trust Ross Lyons judgement on this, he was the swans midfield coach, so if he had a choice of schnieider, bolton or buchanan and he chose schnieder he must have a legitimate reason as i'm sure he knows the strengths and weaknesses of all three, so I will trust his judgement and be happy with who we choose.

we are playing a different style to the attacking goal scoring style of previous years.

given the whole team struggled to come to terms with RLs methods as been discussed, Milnes career stats stack very well with shneiders, especially in front of goal.

Bit paternalistic, isn't it?

You've got eyes and a brain. Make your own judgment.

If the choice is between Milne & Schneider I'd ask you to consider this....

Milne goes missing in big games... Schneider doesn't.

Case closed.

[Langi]

FYI, I prefer schnieder but I'm not at the draft table and i wasn't their midfield coach, that's but lyon is and was that's all i'm trying to say ??

the teams he got more than 15 possessions against were:

Richmond, brisbane, Melbourne, kangas, carlton, dogs, essendon, freo carlton again, richmond and melbourne.

in 2006

essendon, carlton, melbourne, dogs, kangas, freo, essendon, melbourne, carlton and WCE.

perhaps paul roos is onto something.

after originally being interested in schneider, closer analysis of his form (ie. he's a flat track bully)

[Fresh Prince]

he is quick, skillfull and very smart. He would be a great foil for our forwardline/midfield. We dont have any really skill full players except Dal and BJ.

Well he'll fit in extremely well down there - after all we are THE flat track bully Kings!!!!!!!!

actually this year we nobbled sydney, WCE, hawthorn and adelaide at various stages, and ran collingwood to within an inch of their lives for 3 quarters.

its the games we blew to essendon and brisbane amongst others that we should look at.

i think we've had a fair run against the 'top' teams in previous years as well.

Interesting, isn't it.

We actually faired better against the good teams, and dropped games to teams we should have smashed.

Quite the opposite to what we've become known for.
