Linked to GWS...

Brett Kirk is the exact person we need in the Football Department.

If he took it on as a challenge it would be fantastic...

Have a chat to him Garry...

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.

What a tragedy!!!

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

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.

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.

Bump

*cough*

Barrett is now onto it.

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

The dude abides.

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

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.

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

What were we talking about?

Kirk I believe

i was certainly talking kirk - he has a little of the dude about him, just a very relaxed character.

fuggit, let's go bowling...

What... the... Fritzel

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.

Judd is still playing?

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!
