Kirk is a great communicator.

He certainly is! He will make a great teacher if he does go that way. He would also do very well in the media. He speaks well and thinks clearly.

I wonder how he would go as a coach?

To think Rocket would have been fine with never playing him again...

Nah, he looks too much like the 'It Ain't Jim Beam' bloke.

I thought Kirk was already a qualified teacher?

He is - but will he choose it as a career post footy?

I thought he was just filling in time until the right teaching job came up in Albury?

Another one Eade was about to waste.

Yeah I read the Q&A in the paper today. There was a whole 2 page article on Kirk.

There is always a teaching job in Albury. He must be waiting until one becomes available in a city area.

not really fair, what had kirk actually done? half of its luck when identifying and trying players, i mean perhaps if roos played fosdike he might be a great player from now on

[j0lly]

[swansrule100]

friends apparently, maybe they had a fight over the hair brush

Spot on Motorace.I saw a lot of Kirky pre Sydney as I live in Albury.His strengths have always been he could get the footy,sensational hands,great vision and the fittest bloke in the O&M.Brett Kirk got Ben Hollands on to an AFL list as he kept giving him the footy.I also saw him go head to head with Guy Rigoni one day and he made Rigoni look average.Rigoni was drafted at the end of that year by Melbourne.Sure he always looked awkward as a kick with those little 9 iron chips but he hits his target pretty often.For some reason Rocket wanted to turn him into an opportunist half forward.I'm pretty sure Rocket never saw him when he dropped back to Port Melbourne as he picked up 40plus possessions regularly in the midfield.Congrats to Roosy for having the guts to go against his better judgement and give Kirky the chance to play on the oppositions best midfielder week in and week out.And in reply to another reply on this thread yes Kirky would make a great captain possibly at some stage this year.He did an excellent job in that role last night.
