I think they also got the best from Andrew Schauble although I still think he would have been alright for us and he was very young when he left.
It was a mistake to let him go the same as with Sav.
Essendon game in 1997 according to this: https://forever.collingwoodfc.com.au/players/andrew-schauble/I don't think Schauble was never the same at the Pies after he got crunched in that Essendon? game in 98? (from memory).
I find this ^ a bit of a strange write-up, since it focuses more on what he did at Sydney rather than his time at Collingwood! While Sydney probably did see the best of him, he still spent 6 years (79 games) with us, and then 6 years (88 games) with the Swans. It also suggests 1996 was his first year, but that was 1995, where he played 3 games.
He would have been about to turn 23 at the time he went to Sydney, so he certainly wasn't a youngster and we had given him quite a decent run. We traded Schauble for Mark Kinnear, who failed to play a game for us, and pick 34 (Leon Davis!).
Edit: I see the biography on Collingwood Forever is copied directly from Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers, which at least explains why it's not focused predominantly on his Collingwood career!
