WATCH KB'S TRIBUTE:

“What a fantastic milestone.

“One thousand games as a player and a coach.

“As a player, one of the greatest players to ever play for the Tigers. Arguably the greatest back pocket player of all time.

“And your coaching career has been nothing short of sensational. Your career at Essendon and now at the GIANTS is something to behold. One thousand games is unbelievable.

“What you’ve done for the game in promotion and the development of the game, the respect you’ve given to the Indigenous community and the way that you’ve developed players makes you one of the all time greats of Australian football.

“I think we can argue there’s been no greater personality ever in the history of the game.

“Congratulations on one thousand games and may you remain in the game for a long, long time.”
