Kirk OK

[cruiser]

Kirk is unbreakable. Even I've been critical of his form of late but I think he had a good game last night and his return to the ground from the rooms after being stretchered off last night was truly inspirational stuff, deserving of the standing ovation he recieved. The good news today is that he's OK: http://afl.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=283017

Except for the Luber Lip, and the pounding headache.

Yup, great to see he's okay.

Although I'm not sure coming out so soon to the bench was probably the best thing for him, strictly speaking. The lift he gave the crowd by re-emerging was one of the highlights on the night.

Yeah, his head must have been pounding but i'm sure he would have wanted the guys and the fans to know he was alright.

Brett Kirk is one of, if not the most inspirational players in AFL. His leadership and endeavor at the footy still amazes me. Brett Kirk gotta love him.

According to this article Kirky actually wanted to go back onto the field after coming back onto the bench!!

"When he came back to the sidelines about ten minutes after it happened he actually wanted to go back on."

Seriously, that guy wouldn't stay down if you dropped the ch 9 chopper on his head!

Coming back to the bench was inspirational.

Wanting to go back on the ground was irresponsible.

Him wanting to go back onto the ground is understandable.

If the medical staff had let him, that would have been irresponsible.

I've got the Kirkmeister in my fantasy footy team as a tackler and he is a champion.......

He is such an inspiration, but yes he lacks in skills. But he is full of inspiration and he can, literally, turn the game around. Just like the finals against Saints. What an inspiring champion. Loved it when he walked out onto the grounds, loved the standing ovation!
