It’s Arie time oh yeah I love it.

Sidelined? Or just not fit enough with his knee to play seniors?

If he has re-injured his knee today as Tony said then I doubt he would be playing at all ... anywhere

Ah Ok. I only say Tony74's second comment. I missed till now his first that he had re-injured it.


It sounds like the rumours of of his knee being a chronic injury may be true. If so he may be shot unfortnately.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Yeah Sherman deserves a call up after the last match. He was very good.

He looks like he's struggling with it in the VFL.

struggling now if h has injured it again
whens he out of contract?

St Kilda FB stating Shoenmaker named to make his debut!

whomever said he wont get a game because ross doesn't rate him or whatever it was....yeah nahh

 

[StFly]

"Hey coach, we don't have the skill to punch through defensive zones, I'm out of ideas."

He's a Schoe-in! Schoenmaker primed for Friday debut

Arie Schoenmaker will make his AFL debut this Friday night as St Kilda takes on Brisbane at the Gabba.

"Go over it, stupid."

Between him and Bonner, might be a two kick to goal from the defensive goal square scenario. Maybe a Battle cameo roost if it switches sideways.

 

[austinnn]

Cordy.

Gabba, minding Eric Hipwood coming off kicking 6 goals is not the job for an undersized debutant. Arie will get his chance, but we're not Jackson Fergusoning him.

Shows how much I know! Our direction this year is now clear, hold onto your hats and get ready for draft day and '25.

Honestly Arie imo had the potential to reshape our backline in a simmilar way to Cal Wilkie did.

1) he’s a kick in option meaning bonner Sincs and nas can take less kick ins and play higher up the ground.

2) he will eventually become an interceptor, with a 70 metre leg he can quickly turn defence into offence.

3) overall with his clearing ability he’ll just take so much pressure if Battle Wilkie etc etc and allow them all to be more attacking.

Very excited to see him play.
Not many big defenders are capable of getting 25+

Webster sent for scans today.


So may be another reason why Arie is an in besides Howard.

 

[moirae42]

This is a good thing.

 

[Remboy]

Great selection. Arie will go out with the Lions players before the game and get them all smashed. Saints to walk it in.

Great news!

Hopefully we see a 70m kick out from him.

I saw Fehring's goal first hand. I can still replay it, and the feeling of it , in my mind clearly. It was one of the best highlights of any Saints game I have been at.

I am looking forward to seeing Arie equal it one day

Scans on??

 

[stfan]

Scans on??

CH7 in their high quality reporting just said he was sent for scans after training today. No detail of what. Tony74 may know.

 

[littlecreatures]

He’s not a KP. Battle is probably his competition for a third tall defender. I reckon AS is probably the most advanced kid we’ve had in ages and on track to be a gun. Just no spot for him yet.

I’d like Arie to come in, but only way I can see it happening is Battle to KPD on Daniher, Wilkie to Hipwood, free up Arie to Battle’s usual role. Otherwise it’s just setting Arie up to fail which would dent his confidence.

 

[pebblesofsand]

Lets hope Arie brings out the torp and matches Jeff Fehring.

 

[gringo2011]

See I think Riley is his biggest competition for a spot.

With Sinclair going back there again, it allows Arie to take Riley's spot as a designated kicker and takes pressure off Arie who isn't yet good enough overhead or one v one to take Battles spot.

Sounds like Webster gave him a spot.

 

[Saints43]

Saints by 5 goals, soscore will be 50-20

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

I will be straight into the Autopsy to moan that it should have been 30-0 and that I would rather we had lost.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Well deserved Arie!!! Couldn't be happier for the kid, did it the hard way but got there! Yet ANOTHER debutant from this year's draft.

He may not be the finished product, but I can't wait to see that left peg for the next decade!

Seems a long way from the pre season when stories appeared in the media reporting Arie being sent to train with the Sandy boys.

Our club played it with a straight bat however that didn’t stop certain parts of the media, and many opposition supporters, from speculating. Apparently he had messed up again, or was unfit or whatever. Some further opined that he was probably on his way out of St Kilda before a game had been played.

Many opposition supporters simply didn’t want to see the Saints score a win with a late draft pick.

Anyway the young Tasmanian has been very impressive on the track and in all games since the VFL season began.

His debut is very well earned indeed.

Respect

Gotta love a long raking left footed beer swiller.

Good luck Ari.

 

[sammm]

I have a gut feeling Schoenmakers won't play this year. Just feel like Ross doesn't rate him. Guaranteed it'll be Cordy.

Looks like your gut feel was incorrect

This aged well !!

You weren't technically wrong for about 6 whole hours!!

[moirae42]

Surely we are due for a kid to just come in and star right?
