Sadly Kirk's not eligible though - and his lack of "flash factor" means he probably won't get all he deserves anyway.
Kirk really should be close to having wrapped up an AA spot by now - though I suspect again he may get overlooked because he's not as fashionable or flashy as the likes of the Kerrs, Burgoynes, Blacks of this world.
He got a reprimand after the Port game when he bumped Chad Cornes front on. Was a bit stiff IMO (and the Fox Sports News team) because he was contesting the ball rather than bumping a player already with his head over the ball. And when he realised he was going to collide front on with Cornes he did all he could to shift his body so that most of the contact was to the shoulder rather than head on. But it was deemed to be negligent contact by the MRP and the Swans chose not to fight it, given he'd have missed a game had he lost.

Anyone labelling Kirk as a tagger has no idea, though. He is averaging well over 20 possessions a game at the same time as keeping the likes of Shaun Burgoyne, Paul Hasleby and Scott West to a mere fraction of their normal output.
According to this week's record, he got double figure clearances last week - and a check of the stats table they put in there shows he's close to double the average clearance rate of all midfielders over the whole season.
It'll be harder this year with the new selection criteria where midfielders can only be named in the midfield or on the bench.
A number of the pundits had Kirk in their AA team at the half way point - & he's only got better since then while a number of the Ferraris have dropped off. Bizarrely enough given his start to the season, Goodes' last 6-7 weeks must have him in the frame too. He's been good to excellent over that time.
