      Reason i ask is b/c u followed him over from the pies, know a lot about him and when someone attacks him you defend him like he was your own son.

      Just wondering that's all!
      You're right. Silly question.
      Sit down or i swear to God i'll have you shot.

          No way! He can't be that inaccurate!

            Wasn't it Lockett who didnt even bother going to training? I am sure Lockett wasn't too keen on dieting for his footy either. Oh but I suppose Lockett wasn't much of a player for us anyway...

              Anyone every seen Craig Stalder or Colin Montgomery play golf? Both have made millions in a sport where Tiger has "revolutionised" it with weights training and fitness regimes. Heck even Nicklaus was a porker.

              Now I know golf is very different to AFL, but it takes all kinds. In a sport like AFL, even a few extra kilos can make you "obese" when compared to others, but there are many ways to play the game.

                At lower levels of the game, size doesn't matter so much. There's also aspects of the game at lower levels that make the game different. Especially stacks on the mill. If you are pinned to the ground with the ball under you by a hefty full-forward weighing 160 kilos, you aren't going <i>anywhere</i> until he says you can. Your best defense - don't get caught with the ball

                  Wash your mouth out! One was a superstar that had proved his worth and continued to. The other has a long long way to go ..in fact he should do an extra few laps each session for being stupid enough to mention the 80%

                    Doesn't surprise me that DL said that Snowy ... i wonder why.

                    The opposite view to that would be, If hard training made great footballers, howcome theres so many bad ones?

                    Difference is the kid who has the bloodlines is closely watched and constantly compared. If they fall just short of the ones who handed down the genes, they're judged on that. It's called expectation.

                    He wasn't only compared to his relations, he was also hailed as being the next Peter Daicos before he played a senior game. Fair? I doubt it.

                      Can i just state that if you had a hamstring injury how the hell do you propose you keep the muscle bulk on and the fat off........

                      i have only recently joined this forum and after reading most of the threads it appears that most people really either dont like adam schneider or really just want to get rid of him?
                      he has had a quite year due to injury - to tear your hamstring twice in one year is very daunting and really rocks your confidence to stretch it out....i know from experience and im only 18 years of age....

                      i dont care whether your a professional or not its hard to come back from tear after tear and then strain after strain. roosy didnt help by rushing him back in. Let him find his feet and he will prove you all wrong.

                            I love him. He is an inspiration to all those short fat kids out there who dream to play AFL... He is the excitement machine.

                            Does anyone not like him? I just don't like him playing when he is not fit...

                              All? Most people here are pretty happy with Schneider as a two-year player.
                              Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

                                Nicky D has his tongue firmly planted in his cheek whenever he talks to the media and I think that is wonderful.
                                I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                                We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
