List Mgmt. The Nominated Rookie post Round 12 (Bye)

[Rough_Edges]

Think there's little doubt it will be Schneider.,

He's had a fantastic year. Gives us leadership and creates. Other than that one mistake he's truly been fantastic all year.

I like Sinclair but he'll still be around next year and will continue to develop.

 

[hayes]

We are overloaded with experience. Sinclair for that reason alone for mine.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Apologies if already answered. Why did neither of them play for Sandy on the weekend?

Likely management of Sinclair and the lack of need to play Schneider.

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

Is it possible to promote both?

 

[Sir Skid]

Sinks for me.
Quick thinker, agile, good decision maker & clean disposal.
Invest in the future now IMO.

 

[Books]

When will this decision be announced?

 

[sammm]

When will this decision be announced?

probably tomorrow night

 

[pebblesofsand]

Schneider to retire at the end of the year = why bother

Sinclair is guaranteed to be on the main list next year = why bother

Payne is not ready yet = why bother

Saad need to know whether we will keep him or not = fair chance

Holmes would be such a great story for us (will this week be the week the big Yank makes history - emergency, emergency sub) = ELEVATE ELEVATE

 

[borderbarry]

It will aid Sinclair's development if he is re-instated to the Senior List for the rest of the season, but I will not be disappointed if Snotty gets it. I just hope Holmesy gets a run before seasons end too.

Sincs for me too purely for development and stacks of experience already in.

I don't think it will be though.

 

[dewah07]

i wouldn't think it matters to much now, we will most likely start putting guys into season ending surgery now and have spots open for the unlucky rookies

 

[Books]

It's Schneider.

Sad for Sinclair but his time will come.
Hopefully the rules will change soon so rookies can play anytime.

 

[Defacto]

Might be on my own here but I get the Schneider selection

 

[hayes]

Bit flat that it's not Sinclair but I'm sure he'll be better for it in the long run. Probably wouldn't have been a great look if we're going by performance to upgrade Sinclair over Schneider. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of him anyway.

 

[gringo2011]

Your post referred to two posts that I made (Schneider sinking cans and younger players not playing) with a sarcastic undertone therefore baiting me and now degenerating the conversation. I'm happy to argue different opinions but in a mature way.

I wasn't trying to bait was just having a bit of fun at the general vibe of the sentiment of the thread. I didn't actually realise I was grabbing bits of your posts. Anyway. Schneider has been excellent this year and is still putting out more than Sinclair and is probably on par with Billings on stats. if Billings is available he should be playing but taking Schnieder out for sinclair who is scoring freely but is really more a small forward who is limited in his output up field. I love the kid and think he has a huge future but right now Schnieder is ahead of him. Watters got the sack for not playing the senior guys who deserved games, I think we learnt a lesson from that. I spoke to a few players preseason and asked who would be the first rookie upgraded and overwhelmingly they said Schnieder, I thought it was because he was a mate but they all said he was flying. I was surprised as I thought Saad would get the nod. I am really enjoying going to games knowing we are a chance to win in a good amount of them. Last year was awful going along to watch inevitable floggings, having Armo, Steven, Geary, Fisher and Schnieder back allows us to be a lot more competitive and we are still playing plenty of youth as we have no choice.

It's cool, I agree with most you've said. But I'm happy to sacrifice some wins for juniors being developed at the top level.

This also sacrifices standards as well.

Why should a player who is performing at a lower level than another get a spot in the team just because they are younger? If Sinc was performing at a higher level than Schneider he would have got the spot.

 

[The Punter]

Yeah, there is nothing wrong with Schneider's form. He's had 16-25 disposals in each game, averaging just under 4 inside 50s a game. Sinclair will get his chance.

I understand but it's a balancing act. Keep some seniors in the team, play your most promising (I would put Sinc in that category) in the 1's.

 

[Saintt]

What good do we get out of playing an old team? It's crucial getting games into the kids but we seem content in playing a side that's 2/3 25+. Maybe our recruiters don't rate Parish.

 

[TheBalls]

Developing a culture is important as well as developing a list. We've come a long way since Watters when the culture seemed piss poor. If Schneider is a better option at getting messages across to the younger players selected and helping the team play the way Richo wants then so be it. Richo has already commended Schneider this year for being like another coach on the field.

In Richo we trust

It's not all about draft.
