Good luck to him. He will be instrumental in the Suns youngsters development.

I wish we could have had him at the Dee's but I'm confident that the people we have in charge now have a very similar intent with regards to culture and leadership.

A very good get by the Suns. Pretty impressive the way they are going about building that new franchise.

Unlike their slimy counterparts in Blacktown.

If I was Kirk I wouldn't take my "brand" near GWS either. Given Kirk's previous role as an ambassador/employee of the AFL I expect they are 99% behind this.

What a tragedy!!!

Damm!! oh well at least they are marginally better than GW$...very marginal.

Don't really see what GCS have done to be target of that kind of ire. I dislike GWS as much as the next guy but was happy taking the youngsters at Gold Coast on as a second favourite team for the year. Still wish them all the best.

You won't be talking like that if they win a cup within 5-10 years!! Both these franchaises are "add water" clubs and will always be.

Agree, there are too many people around in not clearly defined roles. But it would be up to the new coach to decide if he'd like some one like Kirk around as an assistant coach. Assuming he is avaliable.

BUMP.

Is he available now? Ahem.

ahah i just saw who started this thread originally in 2011: Range Rover. Remember that guy?

I always got along with him quite fine, but man i saw some good fights between him and others on here.

Yeah well, my point that I made a couple of weeks ago on the first bump is that Kirk might be the man, the assistant and possible successor. Couldn't give a continental who started the thread. I picked this thread as it is related to an assistant coach role.

An update on Kirk from the Freo website:

"Sydney premiership player BRETT KIRK joined the Fremantle Dockers as an assistant coach at the end of the 2012 season.

Kirk worked with Fremantle senior coach Ross Lyon and stoppages coach Mark Stone when both were at the Swans.

Widely regarded as one of the most courageous and resilient players to have ever pulled on the boots, he played 241 games for Sydney since making his debut in 1999, including the last 200 without missing a match.

Co-captain of the Swans from 2005-2010, Kirk is a highly decorated and respected figure, whose list of achievements include a 2005 AFL Premiership win, All-Australian selection in 2004 and Sydney best and fairest in 2005 and 2007.

In 2011, he spent six months travelling the world and spreading the word about football as the AFL's International Ambassador.

Kirk is responsible for Fremantle's midfield."

Bump

*cough*

Barrett is now onto it.

... oh, No! thats like saying "Judd for the Defence"!

hound dog Barrett, will always sniff out things, & find his way around to the bottom of it, and get it done.

he's the ace of footy journo's, hadn't you heard? bestin business


God not Judd. Don't think he's been a great captain. Seems remove and self contained. Doubt he has good inter- personal skills. Neeld like personality I reckon. Has the warmth of the Franz Joseph glacier.

I wouldn't mind Judd as a playing assistant for a year.

The dude abides.

(Just don't [censored] on his rug!)

"STFU Donny!"... Great piece of film-making. I don't understand why some people just don't get it.

What were we talking about?


His hair is amazing. It's almost as good as my permanent.

If he coaches half as good as his hair looks, lock him in.

It's a no brainer . The successor to The Great Man must be selected by Roos himself . How could anyone doubt his judgement? No more panels or Garry Lyon advice thankyou!

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
