    Kirk to Freo

    Kirky is going to Freo as an assistant coach. I know there will be many reasons for Kirky choosing to go to another club but I can't help feeling sad.

    Incense sticks much easier to get hold of in Perth.

    Fremantle(town & the council) is full of Greenies so the incense is everywhere. Kirky being into Yoga & Meditation should fit in well.

    All that aside, I reckon Kirky is a great addition to Freo and we can only hope they whip WC arse.

    No more sun in the eyes during morning meditation at the beach.

    Not sure he has the best footy brain, but will be a good influence nonetheless. Good Luck Kirky, hope you have a successful coaching career.

    I reckon Ross is one of the hardest men in the game (he was an old Royboy after all).
    No way he would be hiring Kirky if he didn't think he was going to be able to do exactly what Roscoe wants. Neither Lyons nor I agree with you about the 'footy brain',but I'm with you on the 'good luck Kirky!'

    I suspect it was his footy brain that got him to the heights he reached. Had no trouble knowing where to run and how to find the footy. Awkward kick but knew where the goals were, and was a terribly accurate passer of the footy by hand and foot. Also had an uncanny knack of knowing where his own players and opposition were. Suspect he would score very high on IQ and Emotional Intelligence tests. And what about those 1%ers.

    Rossy Lyon was Kirky's mid coach in 05/06, I'm sure they have a good relationship. Great get for Freo. Hopefully Kirky spends a few years learning the caper in different environments before returning to us. Would make a great development coach before becoming an assistant I reckon.

    Most of his wardrobe that isn't red and white is purple anyway, isn't it? ... with wide lapels and ruffles.

    Smart move by Rossie! ... regardless of what Kirk brings as a technician, they will be the team in WA with the "no dickhead" policy.

    During that period Rossy's favourite Swans was tricky Nicky, one can only dream about the pairing of Kirky and Davo competing assistant coaches! Pre-season'd be like Bugs and Daffy!"

    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
