Ryan Schoenmakers

[Drummond]

King Elvis knows his stuff. Get on board the Schoenmakers bandwagon as it'll be full very shortly.

17 years of age, he's tall, quick, athletic, has superb skills and is a member of the 2008 SANFL under 18 academy squad. Will be drafted this year, I'm prepared to say it right now. I'm going to have to head down early to a few Norwood reserves games because I want to follow this guy's career while he's still with Norwood.

Can play all over the ground and everything about him screams AFL as he's the modern day player. Adelaide Football Club, please keep an eye out for him, he'll be worth it.

More info.

Possie, stats, does he play for Norwood (oh wait...)?

 

[Southerntakeover]

Wheres he playing for Norwood?

 

[Drummond]

Wheres he playing for Norwood?

Kicked three goals and was named second best on his reserves debut. Kicked just the one goal last week but kicked 3 on Friday. Has been playing as a key forward but can play either end of the ground.

So, is he a key position prospect, or more of a utility?

So, is he a key position prospect, or more of a utility?

Well, he'd probably need to grow a bit more to be a classic KPP, but to me he looks a fair bit taller than the 190cm he's listed as. So as of right now I'd say he's more of a utility but with his athletic ability he could probably hold down a key post at either end.

 

[King Elvis]

I'm 6 foot 2, and he's taller than I am.

His dad/uncle/grandad are all over 6ft4, he's definitely still got some growing left to do.

Has been playing CHF/CHB and, from time to time, on the wing. He is very committed and has excellent endurance for a guy his size, as Drum said, great skills; can kick beautifully on either foot.

He's being moved back and forward a bit at the moment, but he's definitely showing a lot. Obviously he's got to find his feet at the moment; if he was kicking straight for goal, and if goal assists are tracked in the Reserves, then he'd be doing exceptionally well.

He's a great young kid from a good family - whose Mum is not looking forward to the possibility of him moving interstate

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Actually, now I've done the research, I was impressed by number 52 and had to remind myself to take a squizz on Norwood's website to see who he was.

Now that I've found out it's him, I'm in agreeance Drummy.

 

[King Elvis]

Just trying to think of who he plays like - maybe a Nick Gill (with better skills )

 

[Markthirtytwo]

Just what we need, another good looking blonde lad.

 

[Redline]

He is a good player and I'd expect him to go in the Draft. Hopefully to us.

No no no brunettes are better looking then blondes
Eg; Porps

Sounds like a good player! How do you pronounce that last name SCH-OEN-MAKERS hmmm

 

[RangaInTeal]

looks like he may have spent a little too much time in the salairum, would go alright at ParaHills!

No time on one mate - he's a dutchy, but his Mum is of mediteranean (sp) descent, and quite olive skinned.

Pronounced Shoe-en-makers.

 

[Jars458]

Imagine if we don't draft him and take a Victorian instead, Drummond will need medical assistance!

I guess it was only a matter of time until we had a "we must draft this Norwood player" thread from Drum.

help me out Drummond, that guernsey... which club is that again?

 

[King Elvis]

I guess it was only a matter of time until we had a "we must draft this Norwood player" thread from Drum.

To be fair, we generally all pump up the tires of the guys we know.

Last year it was me with Salter or Petrenko because they're good Torrens boys, and I saw a bit of them.

Norwood have another Friday Night game at the Parade this week, I'm thinking of going down to have a look at Taylor Walker, will probably rock up and watch the twos as well.

 

[RoosterLad]

It's a bit of a disgrace that there are two ANZAC matches this week. Norwood and... South is it?

The big one is at Adelaide Oval, pity the Dogs will win comfortably.

 

[Archie87]

Hey Drum...

Speaking of Norwood reserves players, i know a young lad by the name of Matt Hill who has played games for them. How's he been playing lately? Any chance he might be drafted this year?

I havent seen him play in a long time, chat to him when i see him from time to time, used to be the grade above him in junior footy when we were younger, great bloke but i was just wanting to get a perspective from someone who'd probably seen him play on how his footy's goin.

Thanx in advance mate

 

[pjcrows]

You sure it's not just Pfeiffer with a hairy?

 

[ams4crows]

I've seen the kid play and he definately caught my eye when I've gone to see the norwood ressies I had to keep asking who's that kid he's pretty good all the time!

 

[King Elvis]

You sure it's not just Pfeiffer with a hairy?

Definitely not
