interesting, whats your thoughts?? Do you think he will be influenced by the AFL too much, or better for the Victorian Comps particularly the VFL

I recon Ken Gannon did a fair job to be honest. Ken pushed for the 12/12 rule and respected the VFA/VFL traditions as much as possible. Trouble is that the VFL is subserviant to the AFL way too much. Can you see Schwabie standing up for the future of the VFL? Be nice to think he would. Be nicer still to think that the VFL has a long term vision worth fighting for?????????????

Schwab- the jury is out. Let's wait and see. Hopefully he won't be influenced by Demetriou an co too much otherwise it could be spell disaster.

What sort of football administration experience does Schwab have prior to this appointment?
vfa Wed, 7 Mar 2007 - 14:33
Was involved with the umpiring side of it besides a bit of coaching beforehand. Time will tell with Schwab. Won't comment on him just yet.

Wasn't he umpires coach or something like that? Are you going to send out an e-mail regarding tipping comp soon as well, VFA?

Schwab hey... not sure what I think of that appointment. As others have said here, I'll certainly give him a chance. Would be good to see an interview with him in Inside Footy, or more likely in the VFL Record round 1.
