A lot of people seem to overrate Schneider. Building muscle, getting fitter etc. in pre season is only of value if that thing called a heart muscle is improved. He's got a lot of work to do in that area before he can be rated. Looks good when he has got it, but boy does he have to work on his disposal.
Kicked some good goals in 2003 but missed some sitters also.
In 2004, injuries aside, a lot of his disposals were absolute howlers.
A lot of work to be done by a bloke who seems to have plenty of tickets on himself.Comment

Totally agree in regard to the heart muscle, but I don't think he has tickets on himself.Originally posted by Nico

And some of them were sheer genius - though certainly not as many as in 2003.Originally posted by Nico

I think his basic skills are very good, especially his long kicking. What was often questionable in 2004 was his decision making. A lot of the time he was trying to be too clever by half and landed up making a hash of things. The cute touches probably work when a player like him is match fit and in touch, but when he was struggling with fitness and didn't have the time he needed, he had to just try to do the basic thing with the ball.
His decision making should improve with better fitness and also with maturity.
However, if you want players with that degree of genius who can create something out of nothing, you have to accept a higher degree of risk. That means that for every time they do something brilliant there will be times when they do things daft. The judge of how good a player like this is is how low they can get the ratio of bloopers to brilliance.
It's an quandry Goodes has struggled with throughout his career - the ability to do the brilliant mixed with the inability to (sometimes) do the simple. 2003 he got it right and was a large reason why the Swans got close(ish) to the GF.
No, I'm not suggesting that Schneider yet deserves to be talked about in the same breath as Goodes. But what he did show us in 2003 was the potential to be a player who can bring a bit of that 'X-factor' to the team, a quality most of us seem to agree is not in great abundance in the current line-up.Comment

I totally agree with you Liz - couldnt have said it better myself!And the man who started it, the Schneiderman, can kick his third for the quarter. And the swans are in the Grand Final!

Points taken Liz but your comments about being too cute etc. aer a part of his makeup that he must change. That's all part of my point about his disposal leaving a lot to be desired.
In 2003 from memory, most of his work was well into the forward half where he was working off packs and creating his own opportunities on goal. When he moved upfield in 2004 he was introduced to the need to kick to players on the lead etc. and his kicking that was the strength in his 2003 game, suddenly came unstuck. Trying to be too cute as you said instead of kicking through the footy with positive direction. The result flat, mongel punts and inability to develop positive disposal under pressure.
Hopefully he will learn from 2004 and take another step up in the skills department.Comment

Bull sh...
It's the fact that he has decent go which makes him one of our most promising young players. Same with Bevan.
Schneids was jaut getting cracking when he pulled him hammy.
He'll be ok. Better, he'll be good.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
