Brett Kirk's Weird Intro 

*10 years ago on this date, Brett Kirk gave us an insight into the Saturday afternoon team we would never forget*

I love the slowpan that starts half way through for added drama.

Kirky died on the way back to his home planet

thanks for the audition Mr Kirk, don't call us, we''ll call you.

Anyone from AFL Shitposting

It really is one of the great tragedies of modern sports broadcasting that Brett Kirk and Channel 7 couldn't get their shakras to align properly. I can only lament what might have been. For example, instead of the "hilarious" multi-logie winning segment 'Roamin' Brian', we may got the more cosmic, Bodhisattva approved 'Lurkin' Kirk'.

You reckon he was on acid

Kirky must be reading from cue cards written by Bruce McAvaney. Surprised he didn't start blurting out "We'll fight them on the beaches, etc. etc."

Today is the 10 year anniversary of one of the golden moments in Australian television history.

Thanks Basil. I just want to give you a bit of an insight into the Saturday afternoon team. We’re a bunch of unique individuals - Malthouse, Harley, Zempilas, McLachlan and myself. We’re gonna engage with our minds and our hearts. We’re gonna exchange ideas, thoughts and even our energy. And to speak from your heart you need to have courage. You need to be honest and authentic. We’re not always gonna get it right. And sometimes, you’re not going to agree with us. But that’s okay, because just like you we care. Just like you, we’re passionate about the game. So if you want to come along for the ride, join us on Saturday arvos, because we just love the footy.

I always come back to this when I need a laugh

That point at the camera. I felt that in my soul.

Love Kirk, but only channel 7 could produce this drivel....

would of liked to see how kirky wouldve evolved in a media role

This speech inspired me to come out of the closet! Thank Kirky

To share the energy Danny, you've got to have courage.

"We're gonna get a engage with our hearts" lulz

Haha kirky you space cadet. Brilliant player, too funny

Reminds me of the speech Poochie gave right before he was edited out of 'The Itchy and Scratchy Show'.

This is a bit cringe but also really good at the same time im not sure how to feel about this , but I'm sure he's at least a couple caps of mdma deep

epic. just epic

i just sprayed Glen 20 all over my computer and opened all the windows

Love him or hate him, he is speaking facts

His delivery is the opposite of “honest and authentic“

yes thanks Kirky for making life interesting

This is still the funniest thing ever

I watch this every morning to get me amped up for the day!

What a gem to stumble upon.

Happy 10 years. What a ride

This is really wholesome.

You can tell Kirk was feeling awkward reading that out..

I’ll never remember him for anything other than this

Brings a whole new meaning to a "Kirks 10 pack"

we just love the footy!

This speech has inspired me to club seals at the south pole.

Ok this is epic

thanks 🅱asil- bruce doull

A Saturday arvo we will never forget

Captain Kirk entering warp drive. Let's go Kirky.

Yeah goodboy good footy energies

Is it weird that I kinda back this? Something different than the stock standard blokey bs that some of the JB types play up.

Anyone else come here on the 27th of April 2021?

This is fucking amazing

This needs to be on The Front Bar!!!

Lol id still exchange my 'energy' with him though, as long as he didnt want to talk afterwards

Tripping major balls

Its an interesting experience in 0.25 speed.

Kirky must be reading from cue cards written by Bruce McAvaney.

U can’t beat that

And this is why drinking magic mushroom juice just before going on TV is a bad idea people.

That guy really loves his footy

This speech should get automatically elevated to Legend status in the Hall of Fame

This is gold 😂😂😂😂

Yes and that why I love him. Not boring and lots of passion!

What a spud

"Thanks Basil . . . ." 🤣

The slow zoom! 😂

I can't stop watching, it's like a car crash

The biggest mistake a man could make is making Brett Kirk his best man at his wedding. Imagine the best man speech...

This cops so much heat but fuck I felt this passion! More Brett Kirk please

goosebumps.

MK Ultra......showcasing its best talent!

Best response line to that: "Cool story bro"

And he was never seen ln Tv again

He's a fucking good aussie cobber

"We're gonna get a engage with our minds and our hearts" lulz

Surely Malthouse at the time was thinking wtf is this guy on

The Footy Frank sent me here.

Channel 7 made him do that.. He is obviously reading it.

The more times I watch, the more I'm mesmorised by his eyes. I may be falling in love.

You know 10 years ago I thought this was incredibly cringeworthy. But now with my chakras opened I can see that Kirky was way ahead of all us plebs!

He was in the Essendon rooms in 2012. Surely he was also on the gear……

Here for the 10 year anniversary 7/4/22

0.5 playback speed for an extra special speech. Hard to decide if he is drunk, or from some sort of cult!

probably the most cringeworthy thing i've ever seen

Anyone know the song that was playing through the stadium speakers before the cross to Brett Kirk?

Purchased Fox Footy HD package - no regrets.

Thanks Kirky.

And never seen again

Tried to bring new-agers into footy. Didnt work.

Will you engage me with your heart?

Onya Kirky

I reckon its a pretty good intro by him.

That's the weirdest thing I've seen on Channel 7 since the Al Borland cameo just before the 1994 Grand Final...

i like this. more stuff like this

Here because of sportbet

So calm

Thanks, Brett. Now go back to the Himalayas and resume your mantra for, say, the next few years because the rest of us just want to enjoy the footy.

gee Thanks Basil. I just wanted to give you a bit of an insight into the Saturday afternoon team. We’re a bunch of unique individuals, Malthouse. Harley. Zempilis. McLaughlan. And myself. We’re gonna engage with our minds, and our hearts. We’re gonna exchange ideas, thoughts and even our energy. And to speak from your heart, you need to have courage.

Thanks Basil

You may be limited in what kind of info your brain can absorb, but most footy lovers like more than that kind of basic info your limited to.

WE'RE NUH GUNNUH GET UH UH ENGAGE.. OUR MINDS..

He probably thought this was a great idea 😂😂😂😂

So this is what it looks like when an alien tries to impersonate humans... interesting.

Unique individuals

wettagutta engage

Rompingwins is behind this

I love the swans and admired kirky as a captain but sometimes he acts like a complete space cadet. He goes down as one of the most eccentric afl footballers up there with the likes of harry o'brien and harry (loves his cognac) taylor.

apparently it toof Ch 7 hours to edit out the blowflies circling that speech...
