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!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
