I wouldn't say same ability. There a reason why sheringham played more senior games.

He also had more seasons unlike Schroeder. now I'm starting to think we delisted more than our fair share to remove "dead weight" for next year when scott pulls The pin on 3 older players

Did you like Prismall Turbo

Mind if I reply to that too?
When he played that final v Saints in 08, I thought he finally fitted in ; he looked the goods and I really believe if he had remained fit, would have helped us a lot in the GF. Not meant to be, and as usual, he did not hurt us at his new club.

I guess I would say he the type that I thought could develop given a chance and luck but he also was not an obvious star young kid. We have had plenty of those types , occasionally they go on and become , mostly they fall short cause other players with more to offer come into the club and go past them.
To a degree GHS is like that now , he has something to offer but he deficiencies may end up costing him if he can't become very good at what he is best at. Prismall looked a nice kick but lacked pace imo.

Prismall waited a while for his chance , seemed a bit impatient for the waiting yet just when he seemed to break in, injured himself. Geelong offered a contract yet he took the chance to take a bigger one and to go elsewhere. Fair enough I guess , everyone has the right to take care of their own pocket but not much loyalty. Still Geelong won from it. They moved on , got a late pick ..a bit like the 21 for Chistensen..a bit light underweight compensation .... and used it to draft Motlop

Good points.
I seem to recall Buddha Hocking anointing the young Prismall, even saying he would wear the number proudly. IIRC, there was a bit of expectation that he would be a silky skilled tough mid with more time than it appeared. As you said, that ACL was tragic timing for him, as I'm certain he was to be in the 08 GF.There were fears we could lose him BEFORE the ACL, and some thought he'd be a safe bet to stay at Geelong after that injury- after all, which team "poaches" a player with an ACL? That's my memory of his situation anyway.
He never really made it again after that.

True. The selection committee liked him more. Doesn't mean they were right. Schroder is also a fair bit younger, and actually was a better player in the VFL too. Can't do much more than that.

Younger yes better I wouldn't say so, shez could play back, middle or forward could schredder? So that's why I would say he plAyed more senior games and that's why I'm saying he is better.

Just back from the Melbourne Derby A- League game. 27,000 people creating an atmosphere more electric than an AFL game with 87,000!
I can see why the world game is so popular, and you hardly need to score in some games and yet the tension/atmosphere is amazing.
Not cheap ticketing though.

At least it looks like the grog was not an issue here.
And it seems a fairly minor incident.

But I am sure that if we try real hard we can build up some self righteous rage about the incident.
