Great post.Bloody loved the big Schoe. On a hiding to nothing being drafted as a highly rated forward and being plonked down back and expected to contain the big gorillas from almost day one of his career. We kept hearing how he was going to cost us a flag in 2012 and yet he was one of the more admirable performers on the day. Was starting to show some real promise in early 2013 before his ACL.
Underrated as a forward - I felt our forward structure was always more steady when he was up there in the post-Buddy era. I always wonder what he could have become had he played forward from the beginning rather than being given the whipping boy duties down back.
Was superb in the 2015 granny and earned his premiership medal on the day.
A couple of times bigger money offers came his way but he always stuck loyal.
Will never understand how people pour s**t on him. He is a bloody brilliant Hawthown clubman and I'm glad he gets to retire a premiership Hawk.
Thanks for all the endeavour, Schoey!
AwesomeThis pretty much sums Schoey up. Heart and sould type player that was often unfairly targeted by some. Remember my main feeling after the 2015 GF was just joy that he got a medal. Was well deserved and am so happy that he managed to cement a legacy at the Hawks during that 2015 finals series.
There's never a good time to sustain a serious injury but schoe was about to enter the sweet spot of his career when he did his acl. Came back far too ripped and had lost a lot of pace & agility. Like everyone I'm glad the big fella was able to be part of the 2015 flag but had he not been injured in 2013 he's probably our starting chb in 2020Was starting to show some real promise in early 2013 before his ACL.

A very good foward.I always wonder what he could have become had he played forward from the beginning rather than being given the whipping boy duties down back.
Schoenmakers never cost us the 2012 GF, but did cost us the 2011 Prelim with a dropped chestmark that resulted in the final Luke Ball goal. Let's not sugar coat it, as a key defender he wasn't physically ready for the prodigious tasks he was assigned because we literally had no-one else at the time, but did cost us many games in that period with panicked decision making and an inability to stay upright in marking contests. He literally became a meme.We kept hearing how he was going to cost us a flag in 2012 and yet he was one of the more admirable performers on the day.
