    no, i ran in to him once and had a little chat. Let's just say, the conversation i had and the tv intro he gave are consistent with one another. He just goes about explaining things a little differently.

    Eg. when going from A to B, one would think to take the most direct route, whereas Kirk went to C & D before finding his way to B.

    Sounds like Dermott Brereton

    Hoping its Kirk, wasnt the most talented player but had the keep hard at it leadership on the field and lead the way in that bloods culture under Roos. 2 years coaching Freos midfield in their dominance plus hopefully another 2 or 3 under Roos (if he is the successor) should make his transition in to senior coaching a little easier than some others.

    Surprising then that he was a grand finalist midfield coach.

    Even more surprising that Ross Lyon would employ someone like that. Doesn't strike me as the type that suffers fools too well.

    I've met Brett at albury sports club and had a drink with him and he speaks fine, he's a little different but knows the game inside out and knows the direction roosy is taking us inside out

    Have you noticed that umpires love pinging the kids for holding the ball no attempt

    Deeflog* a coach that has a winning vision and backs the 21st player up is not who you want? Cool*

    Petrie is still one of the best forwards in the league on his day and Macca not having a good game a couple of weeks ago was a learning experience not a big deal. Welcome Macca back in!!

    Chris Scott god no! Throws his arms up in the coaches box at every umpire decision. He is far from a coach that knows how to win. What happend last week?

    [censored] of the highest order. He isn't a good coach thats for sure. Its record speak for itself.

    Indeed, they were very well educated comments. Some of your finest. Nice.

    Have a listen to this guy talk on Open Mike and then come back and tell me that he wouldn't make a good AFL coach.

  • Quote

    Kirk wants to get the best out of himself regardless of talent just more so desire, which I'm sure would make him a good coach even though he think a little different, players like Pedersen Bail etc would thrive under him and a couple of more seasons under Roosy would both him and the club in good stead!

  • Quote

    Having re-watched Open Mike from 2009, it just reinforced in my mind how good a coach Brett Kirk would be if he decided to coach Melbourne. A year or two as Roosy's understudy, and the transition from Roos to Kirk would be seamless. That's what we want!

    On the same page as Roos it's seems, there has been a rumour flying around ( take it as a grain of salt) Jude Bolton could also be a target!

    That rumour is carp though.

    Bolton is an accredited player manager and has a career in the media that is growing.

    He has no interest in coaching.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
