The very same thing. I kid you not, the only way Schneids will evr return to the form of 2003 is by getting rid of that evil # 13. Legend has it that everyone's favourite hardman Rod 'Tilt' Carter wanted to keep the 13 as his own, and let's be honest it hasn't quite worked for anyone since. It's high time this number was retired.

Spooky!

Perhaps after the way he was arsed about by the Swans, Tilt put a curse on the jumper?
Very Spooky!!

Alternately anyone who wears the jumper inherits his goalkicking talent? Frosty McPherson was a notorious hookfoot and as you observed Schneider's not done since he took it on.
Realy Realy Spooky!!!

Schneider's ability to get AFL fit, find the footy, lose weight or be unselfish has nothing to do with his demise. The true reason is his daft decision to swap his magical number 36 guernsey for the dreaded number 13 before the 2004 season began. Things just haven't worked for him since. And what happened when Frosty McPherson shunned the 32 for the 13? The very same thing. I kid you not, the only way Schneids will evr return to the form of 2003 is by getting rid of that evil # 13.

That made the thought pop into my mind- does the AFL let you change numbers mid season?

Jarrad Moore.

Has smarts, good size, and a pretty good kick.

Ideally, he'd be in our mf rotation, but he'd be agreat crumber atm I reckon.

Just curious as to what the impression was based on.

I think it's easy to jump to conclusions on things like attitude and if it's just based on observation of the players onfield, I question whether those conclusions are valid. You only see part of the situation and can't necessarily work out why someone is behaving the way they are.

If an impression is based on real information about a player's attitude then the conclusion has a bit more basis.

As I said, I was just curious.

Yeah I'm always curious too. Nicely put. But I generally disregard personal comments of all kinds Unless I personally know the person making the comments Gee there's alot of person's in this post.

I'd like to see McVeigh as the crumbing forward until he bulks up a bit.

Im no fan of McVeigh but I agree with you because he has looked ok on the occasions he has been left in FP or HF. Watching him I thought he played his best footy up forward, missed a couple of shots on the run but he did find the footy and does seem to find space when up forward.

It will be interesting to see how Roos uses Schneider, will he leave him in the FP or will he still use him as part of the MF rotation, I would prefer he left him in the FP.

What do you guys think?

I think the inclusion of Malceski is for his run through the midfield and wing:

Roos: "Malceski really only probably missed out a couple of times due to match-ups, and last week with the smaller ground and the predicted rain, but obviously it's a bit bigger and a faster track at Telstra Dome, so he comes into the team."

And Schneids will be used to kick goals so HFF/FP is where we should see him most often:

Longmire: "I know Adam at his best is quick, and has a very penetrating kick, and is a smart player, and at his best as he was in 2003 when he first came onto the scene, he is very damaging, and we could use that now,"

Schneider's total recall for Swans
