Schneider and Dempster Pick 26

[Redleg 40,827]

Two premiership players for Pick 26. HOW ?

[Nasher 33,607]

To the 'aints?

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Is this true???

Sydney are one team that I believe still make stupid decisions come trade week, but I guess you can't argue with the success they have had.

[Gorgoroth 12,921]

Need to free up money, and i think the swans will get a good deal from the saints down the track as they have looked after the saints.

[The Cold Hard Truth 0]

Sydney's future is not looking very promising.

They have blooded very few youth in the last three seasons and to loose young Dempster, their young brigade is looking pretty shakey.

McVeigh could possibly be the only one under 22 regularly in the side?

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Bargain!

Would have loved to get Schneider. Wonder why we didn't chase him?

Hardly stupid decisions then.

Sydney are playing for now. Roos has stated that they cannot afford to trough. In addition, they need to make the most of the moment while they have OLoughlin, Hall, Goodes, Kirk etc.

Neither player mentioned is key 22 material at Sydney.

Disagree RR

2007: Schneider 21 games, ave disposals 15.3,

Dempster 14, 11.2. (as a 3rd tall type defender)

Both are 23 years old. If they're playing for now, what good is a late 2nd round pick compared to 2 players about to hit their prime with a few years under their belts and finals experience.

Maybe Roos has worked out what you might have overlooked.

St Kilda have not learnt their lessons on crocks. They have the most injury prone list in the comp and they recruit King and Schneider!!

[Yze_Magic 3]

Schneider is reasonable, but no gamebreaker

Dempster is just a dud

[Adzman 2,154]

This move was a financial one, nothing else. Sure it will help the saints short term, but who really cares? If CAC though they would help the club, he would have thrown his hat in the ring. He didnt, so i can live with that.

Schneider and Dempster are both good players. The Saints have done very well.

[demon_fanatic 4]

yeh dempster may prosper at the saints much in the same way malceski has at the swans... he will be given lots of chances to play off half back no doubt or tag... schneider is a great pick up as they aim to win a flag while riewoldt is in his peak... if they can finally get their injuries on track next year, they could be dangerous... a BIG IF BUT

How do you know he wasn't at all interested?

From the limited times I've seen Schneider, he's seemed alright.
