Irrespective what reason Scwabb gives for resigning the word is that there are rumblings at WAFC level over Freo's lack of achievement on field - it ain't always about the $'s.
WAFC can possibly see that both WA clubs mite miss sept action not only in 2008 but also going forward
Shwabb leave us with the oldest list in the AFL with a premeirship a longway off and the WAFC nows it. he's meddled in draft selections and trades.
Pay him out now -find a CEO that wants to be a CEO not also the recruitment manager, list manager assistant coach and sitting in the coaches' box match days.
Hmmmmm

I don't agree with your sentiments.
I am happy with our list, I think a premiership may be around the corner, and who would give a toss for what the WAFC thinks.
He has never put anything but the club first, and everything he did was in his belief, in the clubs best interests. We have a stable platform and business system in process now that should guarantee it's success off-field for some time.
The truth is this move will work in the Dockers and Schwabbies favour. It is time for him to move on. But give him some credit when it is due. I take my hat off to you Schwabbie.
