where do you see Schoenmakers fitting into the scheme of things at the Hawks?

this is pretty speculative...

With Vickery in and Roughy back - on the edge of or just outside the best 22. I'm pretty sure we have given up on him as a defender but the competition for forward spots is pretty strong. I haven't seen him mentioned in any training updates so he's been quite invisible. I'm sure he'll play a bit this year but not consistently.

His price is very appealing but even when he plays well he scores are pretty average. Can be frustrating too, he has a lot of talent but can't really seem to get it together except the odd game here and there.

IMHO, I'd avoid unless someone goes down injured giving him decent job security and/or there is a real dearth of genuine forward rookies - There will be a few 123k players that get the same average per game. The only other scenario that may appeal is if he gets a different job in the preseason games. I'm not sure if his engine could make him a Nick Riewoldt type who gets up and down the ground. But he would still be a risky in and out of the team proposition I would guess.

thanks, thought that might be the case

If Hawthorn wanted to play an extra marking option (assuming Roughead, Vickery and Gunston are selected), I'd suggest both Sicily and Burton would get this job before Schoenmakers. They provide greater versatility and a broader skill-set than what old Schoey does

Burton is probably more likely to play in defence, but I agree that Sicily will get a run before him in most cases.

Long-term, I still think Burton is a forward.
I would prefer to see Hawthorn play 2 tall defenders (Frawley and ???) plus Gibson and Stratton. If that happens, I doubt he will be needed back.
Who knows what they have planned, you may be right, I just hope not
 
if Keeffe is fit, he'll play every game, Buckley loves him for some reason

could play in defence or up forward... only Nathan knows unfortunately :(

Word going around is that Keeffe will line up at CHB and give Grundy a chop out in the ruck.
 
Is A.Johnson from the Swans injury free this year?
IIRC he's had a couple of knee recos the last 2 years but if he's all good then may get a few games maybe?

I swear this guy has had a knee injury for the last 4 years. Bit scary. His last season was 2012.
