Schoenmakers nails frisbee challenge

JUST when you think your year can't get any better.

Premiership star Ryan Schoenmakers has pulled off the near-impossible in a team frisbee challenge on the Hawks’ pre-season camp in Mooloolaba.

He's gone global in the process - trending on Twitter in Australia - for a frisbee trick shot which hawthornfc.com.au's frisbee experts believe may be the greatest of all time.

While Schoenmakers’ feat was much to the disbelief of his teammates, it has been the reaction of one particular teammate – Ben Stratton – that has caused the greatest stir.

Part of a team challenge during a light skills session, the full squad split into two teams and were tasked with the challenge of landing a frisbee in a wheelie bin from long range.

Met with the disbelieving roars of his teammates, Schoenmakers, somehow, managed to pull it off, landing the frisbee in the bin with surprising precision.

But despite the difficulty of the challenge, an immodest Schoenmakers said he didn’t have too many doubts he could pull it off.

“I saw Mitch’s (Sam Mitchell’s) one before so I got a little bit of information off that, used the wind and a bit of a lean on it, so I was pretty confident,” he said.

But the reaction of Stratton - who was on the opposing team - has threatened to overshadow Schoenmakers' achievement.

Reports suggest the pair’s friendship could be in limbo.

"He's a great friend of mine and we said we'd get around each other if something big happened," Schoenmakers told teammate Jarryd Roughead after his miraculous achievement.

"I went straight over to him and he's given me donuts."

Seen in the bottom right of the video, Schoenmakers went to include (possibly former?) good friend Stratton in the celebrations, only to watch his teammate feign a high-five and turn his back.

Stratton's brutal high-five shutdown will ensure all eyes are on the pair tomorrow as they return for one last gruelling day of pre-season camp before heading home.
