If Schwab is off shortly, why would he be on the selection panel? It will have nothing to with him ultimately.

Because it's still his job. If he's not doing that bit, why bother doing any of it? He might as well just go on leave for the few weeks (or whatever) and just sit at home watching the cricket in his jocks until it's time to start his new job.

As long as he's still on the payroll as CEO, then he should still be having CEO input and making CEO decisions. He's not gone until he's gone. I don't know about you, but I've never resigned from a job and been immediately discharged of all my duties. If anything it's always been the opposite - "quick - get all this stuff done and handed over as quickly as possible before you leave".

I guess it depends which company you work for.

Many people get walked out when they resign, especially people in high powered jobs. Happens in my industry all the time.

I can also understand where people are coming from, in that if Schwab is not going to see out the length of the coach's tenure, then perhaps he shouldn't be making the selection.

Then again I'm not happy with the panel of selectors anyway, so this is just a side issue.

If Schwab is going to leave, he should do so at the end of our season, leaving a clean slate for us to start building the footy department again.

Sorry, correct me if I'm wrong...

But didn't Schwab re-sign for another year after the Geelong match?

All this based on a completely unsubstantiated remark on the channel 10 news?

Surely, if this had any truth to it, Mike Sheahan and/or Caroline Wilson would be all over it like a rash.

I can't recall any news of this ilk ever being broken by Stephen Quartermain.

Irrelevant. And you werent interested in that before you stated he should not pick the coach. Its unlike you to get sucked in by rumours. If he is the CEO he stays on the coaching sub committee. Basic common sense.

Do you have to answer everything like a second world war Primary School Teacher.

STOP TELLING ME HOW I THINK....it is so Dull.

I want to know where Quarterbrain got his source from OK Rhino....can i make it plainer???

If Schwab wants to go i would prefer someone else was on the coach selection panel.

If our CEO is staying & Quarterbrain is wrong then i have no problem....Choice wisely Cameron....

Must i make it clearer than that Rhino??????

This is where i am also coming from.....what is Quarterbrain basing this assumption on to put it over the news???

I doubt it myself, i think Ch 10 have got severe sour grapes over the AFL now. Bye Bye after this season........

Only because I deal with someone who behaves like a child.And I would never tell you how you think as I am quizzical as to whether you do sometimes.

I responded to your comment some days ago:

No point in him picking a coach then.

Stephen Quarterbrain the source was it??? << This wasn't a recent edit to your post WYL? You have done that before. >>

You have squirmed when I rightly pointed out that CEO should be on the panel.

Now you are big into was Quartermain the source. Who gives a flying one? Whether Qmain was or wasnt correct does not matter. Its been well canvassed in the media by Caro and other journos in some detail than leading up to the Geelong game that Schwab was going to be sacked by the Board. His position is tenuous. He does not have the Board's support. It fits in line that Schwab would be looking to leave. Its a matter of time in his last year of contract. It does not change the role he has to play while he is CEO. And whether Quartermain is right or wrong is irrelevant. Until Schwab resigns or is sacked then he fulfils the role of CEO and that means he should be in the chair for the appointment of crtical roles.

And if you are not going to have the CEO on the selection panel based on a Quartermain rumour then you should sack Schwab now because you are creating a lamer CEO than you have now.

Its not a matter of you making anything clearer WYL. Its the case that when you get held accountable for comments you make on the site (often silly ones) you spend time responded as though you are trying to slip the topic or becoming petulantly melodramatic in mock outrage when you are pinned....much like a child. And it fools no one but yourself.

We need Men running around, not 'Nureyev'.

Maybe you should get out more. Nureyev was one tough s.o.b. who pushed himself far harder (physically and mentally) than a lot of our blokes have been doing of late.

Quarter-who ? Hardly a newsbreaker ! Arguably one of the most boring commentators going around. If you are having trouble sleeping, tune in to "One Week at a Time" - you'll be nodding off within seconds.
