Career

Early career

Before being drafted to the AFL, Schoenmaker played for Tasmania Devils in the Talent League. Ahead of the 2023 season, he was suspended from the club for 10 matches after bringing his teammates alcohol during a pre-season camp.[1][2]

AFL

Schoenmaker was drafted by St Kilda with their final pick in the 2023 AFL draft, at pick 62 overall.[3]

During the AFL pre-season on 1 February 2024, it was announced that he would spend one night a week training with St Kilda's Victorian Football League (VFL) reserves team, Sandringham, in order to work on "bridging his professional standards".[4] He made his debut for Sandringham in round 1 of the 2024 VFL season.[5]

Schoenmaker made his AFL debut in round 14 of the 2024 season against the Brisbane Lions.[6][7]
