A member of Hawthorn’s golden era during the 1980s, Peter Schwab was a vital cog in the Hawk’s machine. After 171 games and 3 premierships, Schwab turned his hand to coaching – first as an assistant with Richmond and then finally as a senior coach back at Glenferrie Oval.

In this edition of Sacked, Schwab speaks out about the 2004 Line in the sand match between Hawthorn and Essendon, his playing journey with Hawthorn during the 80s and how two former team-mates ended his stint as senior coach.
