Another viable prospect with pick 30 IF he doesn't get snapped up prior.

"We already have plenty of mids" will be the cry.  But do we?

Chunk now pretty much done as a full time mid and Goody marking him to play HF in more than likely his final year.

Gus 'apparantly' suffering from a chronic back issue which held him back significantly this season.

Tracc hoping to play more time through the mid might make up a little for the loss of chunk.  But what if Gus has 'one of those years' with injury.

That still leaves us at least one down on rotation from an 'inside or balanced' mid perspective.

Schoenberg is more of a balanced mid, not dissimilar to the style of Gus imv but could offer handy cover/back up (or better) after a year or so in the system.  The guy is all class in traffic, also has a dip and a lovely kick of the pill hitting up short targets on the run with wonderful vision & precision execution.

Without getting too excited as there's still no doubt plenty of work ahead to make the grade he just might be one of the most under rated balanced mids in this year's draft in terms of potential upside.  Deorre seems to agree going by his article and others must have seen similar with Schoenburg winning his state's MVP and All Australian u18 honours.

(Extract from ESPN article)..."Schoenberg averaged 27 disposals, 12 contested possessions, five tackles and five marks during the Under-18 Championships".

Not a bad haul.  He might go before our 30 but anyway here's some info for those interested...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
