    His body is probably telling him to retire. THIS body is telling him Not Yet Kirky. One more year, even half a year, to pull the rest of them together without the major players leaving/left from 2009.

    Then I want you to consider taking on an assistant coaching role (you are doing it anyway, so why not). With the Swans that is, don't you dare consider any other place!!!!
    Except perhaps the under 7s in the local league, I can live with that.

        He's still a pretty effective mid, but another full season? I don't know, but I'm confident he will and will decide what's best for the team.
        He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

            That's disgusting.

                Big shoes that can't be filled for a few years. He is probably concerned that he doesn't want to bow out of the game the way Leo Barry is......

                    Just occurred to me that Kirk is unlikely to announce his retirement the same week Micky O plays his 300th, it would take some of the emphasis away from the big game

                    I hope so anyway-really do not want to loose Kirky

                        I hope he does go out on top at the end of this year.
                        "As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did. Leo was a 185cm, 88kg full-back and played on some of the biggest, fastest and best full-forwards of all time, and constantly beat them." Roos.
                        Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.

                            He's still got time left in him. He didn't start getting smashed around until a much later age than most traditionally do. He can't get any slower and his kicking can't get any shorter but he still can find the pill and he stops other blokes from getting it.

                            PS - Looks like Leo may be back this week (according to website)

                                    I reckon your beloved McHack will get that.
                                    The club are "making him an offer he can't refuse".

                                        NO WAY!!!
                                        Duck Butt's next in line.
                                        I reckon it was part of his renegotiation.

                                        Why do you think he's picked up his socks??

                                            I don't think Kirky's been the same since the Barry Hall incident.

                                            He seems to have lost some heart to me since then, I think that took so much out of him.

                                            What a great champion he has been for us, I just love him, what a replacement he ended up being for Paul Kelly

                                                He probably has a season (maybe 2) left in him physically. Mentally it's a different thing.

                                                I don't think it would be a bad time for him to stop playing.

                                                You would have to imagine that a year or two away from the game would suit him too, a short stint as an assistant coach at another club and then back to the Swans in a senior coaching role in 4-5 years time.

                                                        I hope he plays on next year. Would help the Swans midfield for another year, though if he does go, Bolton is still there.

                                                            Do you really think a club would let go of him oncew they have him on the coaching staff?
