Despite being turned away by her club due to her not being male, Scheer stayed determined to play football and joined Salisbury West's under-16 team. With them she won a premiership, and after a year there joined Modbury, [2] where she played her junior football. [3] She won the Rell Smith Medal, the medal given to the under-18 best and fairest in the South Australian Women's Football League (SAWFL), three consecutive times in the years 2015–2017.

[5] Scheer was also a key player for North Adelaide in the inaugural season of the SANFL Women's League in 2017. [6] She was one of North Adelaide's best players in the Grand Final, which they lost to Norwood. [7] [8] At the 2017 AFL Women's Under 18 Championships, Scheer represented South Australia and was selected for the initial squad of the All-Australian team. [9]

AFL Women's career

Following rehabilitation, she was drafted by Adelaide with their third selection and thirty-seventh overall in the 2018 AFL Women's draft. [1] [10] She made her debut in the one point loss to the Western Bulldogs at Norwood Oval in the opening round of the 2019 season. [11] [12] In round 5 of the season, she was nominated for the 2019 AFL Women's Rising Star award. [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]
