Barker had told Teague and head of football Brad Lloyd on Monday he intended to stand down at the end of the season.
He citied the demands of the role, a dwindling drive to become a senior coach and the desire to spend more time with his family as reasons for leaving.
But, late on Monday night, Barker was informed that his impending resignation would be effective immediately — a decision that shocked the popular assistant.
I read that as the club brought it forward and fired him.....
Alternatively:
“Barker had recently approached the Club to inform them of his intention to step aside from AFL at the end of the season and focus on expanding his corporate interests and opportunities.
The Club held continued discussions with Barker and have since mutually decided that with the upcoming mid-season break, it would be an opportune time for Barker to depart the Club this week to enable the Club to plan for the future and allow Barker to actively pursue his next steps.“
A mutual decision would minimise Barker’s payout.
