"It was the first time the Saturday arvo crew were together, so I thought I’d do something different here other than talk about the weather and teams in the rooms," Kirk said.

"I’ve copped a bit of stick over time, but I actually wasn’t taking the piss at all, it’s fair dinkum!"

Kirk said it wasn’t completely scripted but he knew the vibe he was going for.
