fitness tests this week

[Snowy]

Willo and Schneider are listed as facing tests this week. If Willo is fit he will probably return, what are people's opinions on where Adam should play if passed fit?

Of course Schneids should play! ...in Canberra.

2's. that's not being slack, if davis comes back, which is more likely, schneider should have at least a week in the 2s. given the form he's been in he'd probably get heaps more out of that than playing off the bench. he does seem to be one of those players that works on their fitness alot, and if he doesn;t he looks a lot slower than we all know he can be.

Schneider looks podgy to me. I just wonder how much work he put into keeping weight off while he was injured. Came back looking thick in the body.

Agree. I've never seen an AFL footballer struggling for fitness as much as Schneider in that Carlton game (?).

I hope this dosen't become a career long problem.

Still, if he's prepared to do the work in the next couple/few weeks, there's no reason he couldn't make it back this year.

If passed fit, Scheider needs 2 weeks in the ressies, ala Nick Davis. However, if Willo is ACTUALLY fit, then he should come straight back into the seniors. Davis seems likely to be promoted after his 2 game stint in the 2s.

I would expect James to be the first man to make way for Davis, although he may be useful, because I think the Roos have a large number of tall players. If Willo is selected, I would think the player to miss would be one out of Fosdike, McVeigh and Buchanan. I wouldnt have a clue who the match committe would select out of the three.

Not sure what he'd be doing there...both the senior and reserve teams will be playing in Sydney.

They said the same about Cressa in his first couple of years. I think he needs a role model though. Maybe a longish stint in the 2nds might teach him the lesson?
