League Teams rumour

[goswannie14]

In the bigger scheme of things, who really cares?

[stellation]

Maybe he's seen the end of the Twilight era so is trying to distance himself from blood?

[Mr Magoo]

So if the swans dont offer him anything then he should just sit at home unemployed. What a load of rubbish. Who else in any other career says they wont go and work for the opposition if a good oportunity comes along. Even in the AFL , if that were the case , half the coaches in the league would be out of jobs and most of our coaching staff would be resigning tomorrow and heading back to North Melbourne.

We should be treating GWS not as our enemy but as our poor unemployed cousin who needs a hand. Lets not treat them as equals , lets start treating them with pity, scorn and disdain.

Would like to point out to all and sundry, Kirky is a fully qualified school teacher..... its not as tho he doesn't have a work ethic.... its not as tho he is not qualified to do anything else other than coach.... I would hate to see him as our runner though (shudder)..... he is not a particuarly fabulous public speaker (lets be honest) so can't see him in media......... he doesn't look to be the type of bloke with highflying needs, so has probably saved and invested a bit of his income ....... Somehow I think Kirky will be just fine, even if he takes up the full time job of house husband ........ BUT I cannot see Kirky being able to serve any other footy master but the Swans..... Kell is different, he has his country property and its been going through a lot of drought over a very long period, so getting away from it for a bit to be involved in something positive would probably seem god sent - they probably asked him which would be a good start ....... but Kirky away from this Club? no. Kirky moving up to Malooloobar? wouldn't surprise me.

How about Kirk for Prime Minister. What a bonus it would be to have someone honest running the country.

Roos is selling his house - so where is he going to move too - Perth maybe or the US?

I was under the impression that Roos has stated that he intends to live in the US for a while. West Coast seems far fetched...Anyway I'm not really fussed what he does. His tenure is up at the Swans, it's been one of the most successful periods in the clubs 100+ years. Good luck to him whatever he does. It seems like a good time to move on, for both parties.

Not sure anyone has said that Nothing wrong with anyone wanting him to stay with the Swans and I don't think anyone in their right mind is arguing that he doesn't have a right to work with whoever he wants!

All good points - however, Kirk may move back to Albury for all we know - or go teach at a one teacher school somewhere - the thing is - if he stays with the Swans so be it - if he doesnt, its his decision - the world isnt going to end either way..

i presumed kirky would be on display in a swans museum

[jono2707]

I see him running a macrobiotic-vegan buddhist-monastery yoga-relaxation-zen style retreat somewhere in the Byron hinterlands...

[teddys mum]

With his leadership abilities and teacher qualifications then I reckon a gig at the AFL Academy would probably work out. However, stay at home dad for a year or two will probably be the best bet.

Assistant coaches earn far more than teachers. Those saying he would stay at home have got to be joking.

Only for a year or two. Be nice to spend some time with kids after a career of travelling all over Australia for work.

Football season runs for 6 months. When they are not training they are at home I presume. So I think they get to spend far more time with their kids than what your average father does when he leaves for work at 7am and gets back at 6 or 7pm that night.

Assistant coaches can last longer than a year or two. No money in making scones at home. He will make the right decision for himself and his family and if it is with GWS then he goes with my blessings.

He can't afford to go away for two years if he wants a coaching or media career.

What, you think his opportunties to be a coach or work in the media will go up in a puff of smoke if he isn't in there within 2 years of retiring? Really?
