Harry James Schoenberg[1] (/ˈʃɒnbɜːɡ/ SHON-burg;[2] born 21 February 2001) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was recruited by the Adelaide Crows with the 24th draft pick in the 2019 AFL draft.[3][4]

Early football

Schoenberg played for the Woodville-West Torrens Football Club for the 2019 season in the SANFL. In that season he played a total of 8 games and kicked 6 goals.[5][6] Schoenberg also represented South Australia in the AFL Under 18 Championships in 2019. He won the South Australian Most Valuable Player award and was named in the U18 All Australian side.[7][8]

He grew up in the South Australian country town of Marrabel and attended Prince Alfred College as a boarder. He played junior community football for the Mintaro-Manoora Eagles in the North Eastern Football League in the Clare Valley in South Australia.[8]

AFL career

Schoenberg debuted for the Crows' fifty-one point loss to the Melbourne Demons in the 10th round of the 2020 AFL season .[9][10] On debut, Schoenberg picked up 12 disposals, 2 marks and 2 tackles.[11] He signed a two-year contract extension in January 2021, keeping him at the club until 2023.[12][13] Schoenberg had a career-best 30 disposals in 2021's round 8 Showdown loss.

In the final game of 2023 against West Coast, Schoenberg ruptured his Achilles tendon with an estimated nine months on the sidelines.[14] The midfielder finally returned in round 11 of the next year against the same club, and kicked a goal in the 99-point victory.[15]

Despite being contracted until the end of 2025, Schoenberg was delisted by Adelaide in October of 2024, with a commitment to redrafting him as a rookie.[16] Alongside forward Chris Burgess, Schoenberg rejoined the club as a rookie in the 2025 rookie draft.[17]
