Draft Profile Tom Schneider

[AGC]

Thoughts on the kid. I watch a bit of the Chargers, and he's always looked very very solid, and am surprised to see he's not in calculations for a lot of people.

He's a bit on the short side, and doesn't play like a guy with too much speed and flair, but he has solid ball skills both by hand and foot, and finds more enough of it.

I definitely think he has the potential to be like Leigh Adams, who is doing very well for North at the moment. Funnily enough both players seem to have made a similar progression through junior footy, and I think if given the chance, Tom could do quite well.

Agree with all you've said.

He's unfashionable - sub 180cm player that are 'one-paced' don't tend to generate much interest amongst recruiters and fans alike.

He's produced very good numbers consistently at all levels he's played and uses it reliably but not exceptionally - at worst it looks like he will at least be a very good state league player that's in between the two levels.

I believe he's one that could provide a good return for a low cost.

Yeah I like him played well for Vic Metro so I reckon he'll get drafted.

Unlucky.

Hopefully gets rookied.

Is really impressing at Hawthorn with his footy smarts and gut running. Keep an eye out for him as he'll progress onto their senior list soon.

You heard it first from me

Couldn't get a read on how quick or slow he was, and he certainly doesn't kick it like Daniel Rich or anything, but he's a reliable user of the ball, and he continually hit up our forward targets with intelligent kicks into the forward 50.

Good to hear that this kind of performance wasn't just a one-off.
