It seems the only time I ever hear our AFL Victoria CEO is when he's working in his other role as an ABC broadcaster.
Gannon used to write (or at least have his name attributed to) the front page editorial in the VFL Record. Now its Stillman who does the weekly write up on the VFL. I really haven't heard Schwab talk much about the competition at all. Perhaps I've just missed it. I haven't been to much footy, but has Schwab been seen at much VFL? At least Gannon used to be around the grounds.
I thought the replacement of Gannon might have been good for the competition, but I'm a little disappointed with Schwab's lack of comment and visibility so far. I'm sure he's doing plenty behind the scenes, but the VFL right now needs someone whose a bit out there to push and promote the competition.
He's getting around Footyman. I've seen him at three or four games and had a coffee with him at 1/2 time in the state game in the PM social club. He's really enthusiastic about the VFL. Give him time, my friend
And I know Peter Schwab has been doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff with the alignments, Footyman. ie trying to maintain them.
Thats good. Its probably the most challenging year for the competition with the Tassie issue, and the alignment issue.
It just seems they have restructured things a bit in at AFL Vic so Stillman is more the face of the VFL and Schwab takes on more behind the scenes.
Schwab was at the Port v Scorpions game last week.
Don't forget Peter Schwab is the CEO of AFL Victoria and has a lot more strings in his bow than just the VFL comp.
