[6] She was one of North Adelaide's best players in the Grand Final, which they lost to Norwood.

AFL Women's career

Scheer was supposed to be drafted in the 2017 AFL Women's draft, but ruptured her left anterior cruciate ligament late in the season.

[3] Scheer played in the 2019 AFL Women's Grand Final, in which Adelaide claimed their second premiership. During the match, she suffered another anterior cruciate ligament injury, this time to her right knee. [13] [14] Following the 2019 season, Adelaide re-signed Scheer on a two-year contract. [15]

Scheer was traded to Geelong at the conclusion of the 2021 AFL Women's season. [16]
