Jordan Schroder

[ben russell 764]

Schroder was delisted by Geelong in October.

I have quite a few mates that barrack for Geelong and most of them rate Schroder highly and were disappointed to see him leave. They are mostly of the opinion that he was squeezed out of the club due to lack of opportunity, not lack of talent. I have seen him play a couple of AFL games and liked what I saw.

He's a 21 year old strong, big bodied midfielder who can also hit the scoreboard.

Worth a look in the rookie draft?

[spirit of norm smith 15,276]

yes yes and yes.

another prototype of what MFC needs.

this kid has the talent and the toughness.

He was behind too many in a strong Geelong mid rotation.

Worth a rookie spot.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

He may not last until the rookie draft.

Would he be worth picking up in the national draft?

[Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269]

I don't think his footy ability is the problem, it's his attitude from what I've been told.

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,283]

After taking Newton I don't think we have room.

[rpfc 28,052]

18 clubs passed on him in DFA, there is another DFA coming up in a day.

If he doesn't get taken then, it would be very unlikely that he will get taken in the ND.

The RD would be his best bet.

Whilst a talented team, Geelong's midfield, especially contested ball winners are actually pretty light on after Selwood who has to do a lot himself. Caddy is the great hope. Christensen was their best clearance player after Selwood and SJ.

Schroder is solid, but short. Not quick and average skills.

We have Riley, Michie and Newton all looking for opportunity and I like them as much as Schroder. Newton has a left foot. Michie a bit of x factor and Riley is as tough as they come.

I don't think we need Schroder.

[Dee tention 611]

We can never have enough midfielders!

I like the sound of Schroder and have a good gut feel about him.

Roos had been able to get the best out of players who get a second chance. He is ready to go...

Yes for me. Especially if we recruit McCartin.

[Machsy 2,858]

Would've fit in well with a few noted party boys from our club in the recent past.

Like a young Colin Sylvia, or alternatively an older Colin Sylvia... not in playing style.

I thought he was really cute in The Champ but he hasn't done much of note since then.

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

If we get another dumped VFL quality player then he will just be another dead wood list clogger that everyone will want gone in two years.

Rather work on another kid then another VFL player.

There's always a reason a player is delisted and usually because they're not good enough.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,012]

Offer him a DFA spot. We have room now that Evans has been cut.

[flamindees 16]

I think he's worth considering using our second round rookie pick on, but I hope we use our first on a kid, preferably Caleb Daniel.

Younger brother Ricky.

But they can improve and Newton says hello.

I think one of our rookie spots will be used for a ruckman.

[DeeSpencer 24,792]

I hope not. We've already got King developing. Just trade or draft a mature ager if come next year we need them as back up if Jamar retires.

Even better get an international recruit so they don't take up a list spot.

We've only got 2 picks and both might be early enough to find players of value around the ground.

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

Remember Tom Gillies?

[Redleg 40,228]

Remember Tom Gillies?

Oh I understand now, because Tom Gillies was no good, every DFA is hopeless and will never improve.

Ever had a bad meal? That would mean you don't eat anymore, correct?

Yeah, that's usually the way it goes. Not a lot of tolerance for bad cooking.

I'm just saying they weren't good enough to hold at a spot at their first club, so I won't be placing all my bets on them at their new club.

If they prove me wrong I'll be the first to say well done. You can even quote me on that.

[dazzledavey36 52,908]

But they can improve and Newton says hello.

Say hello?

Newton has come to the club with 5 games experience and like Michie Riley before him struggled to break into their original teams.

Michie Played 6 games and Riley 9. I exactly wouldn't call that a win either.

Newton still needs to prove himself he is in our best 22. Atm he is no certainty.. positions will be up for grabs between Michie Riley and Newton
