Brilliant. A beautiful homage to one of the finest Swans/Bloods players of all time. Thank you so much for writing this.Occupational hazards:

Nice work Snajik - Captain has now entered my lexicon of possible passwords along with other footballing giants - I can give no greater tribute!Comment

Magnificent work Snajik!
I've been lucky enough to see both Bob Skilton and Paul Kelly play. With their talent and courage, they were both the heart and soul of the South Melbourne/Sydney Swans teams they played in. This was reflected in their appointments as Captain and Vice Captain of the Swans Team of the Century.
Brett Kirk loses nothing when compared to those two champions.
In the future, when people talk of the Swans legendary captains, they won't just speak of Skilton and Kelly.
They'll talk about Skilton, Kelly and Kirk."Notwithstanding the sight of all our miseries, which press upon us and take us by the throat, we have an instinct which we cannot repress, and which lifts us up." - PascalComment

Finally got a chance to read the article.
Cheers snajik. It is an excellent account of his career.
It should not be forgotten that he has probably won more games with his inspirational on field speeches than with his on field feats. Almost an exact opposite of Kelly.
Now to find some more pics.Comment

Fantastic read, thank you snajik"In some ways we?re less predictable to ourselves and sometimes that can be detrimental because we don?t really know where we?re going" - P.RoosComment

It's good to see you around again snajik! I used to read your columns on RWO pre-vBulletin (before I worked up the courage to post
) and that was a fitting tribute to a champion player. And I'm a Davo fan

Congrats Kirky. An absolute champion of not just the club, but the game.Comment

I just wanted to say thanks to all for the positive feedback. It?s good to see that we can all unite in celebration of this great man and his fine achievements. I suspect the subject matter may have played a part in the favourable responses. I?ll send a few PMs out to those who wished to explore various tangents. Hope that?s ok.
I?ll no doubt write something again one day but at the moment my life feels like the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Time, time, time is not on my side (no it ain?t). Possibly a piece to coincide with Kirky?s 300th. Should give me around 4 and a half years of planning time.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Brett Kirk is definently all the, And the inspiration he creates cannot be put into words but this was definently close.

That's just made my day, and uplifted my spirits, a fine tribute to an extraordinary Blood. He may well make a very good football coach.
Well documented, and a top idea for Roosey to read it to the players on Sat, or Fri night.
