Why would you care what Kane Cornes says about this?

Port have said it was stupid, then Lamb said it was stupid. There's obviously nothing there.

The SEN audience is less than 3% in Melbourne and doesn't exist elsewhere. The idea that we have to sign him up before Xmas to shut up Kane Cornes is laughable. Maybe some people just enjoy their beds being wet. 

As the other poster pointed out, Goody, Lamb, Gawn and many others made all the same comments about Jackson. Everyone does, until the truth comes out. 

We've all been through this enough times before (Jessie, Jacko) to know that whilst it may be a misconstrued, embellished version of the truth, it will not be 100% fabricated. It never is. 

I cant stand some of what Cornes says, but if he doesnt sign a contract early next year.. odd son he is right.

 

I would be very surprised if the club isn't working with Kozzie and those close to him to understand what he doesn't like about Melbourne, the city.

Clubs will go to great lengths to make players happy in all aspects of their life.  So unless Kozzie is miserable his unease in Melbourne, the city I reckon it will all get sorted.  Even North said they asked JHF's family to move to Melbourne to help him out.

 

The club loves to have a major contract signing announced at the start of the season.  Kozzie is a fan super favourite so an announcement in March perhaps... 🙂

The club should sue Kornes. The bloke has had it coming for a while. He literally called Tim Lamb a liar. If Tim thinks otherwise, it's time to attack the credibility of this twit. He is a modern day shock jock and rarely backs down

Kane Cornes straight out saying that both Tim Lamb and Kozzie Pickett are outright lying.

He'd want to be very sure.

He is just trying to save face as he started the rumour, propably for his own selfish reasons.

As they say 'attack is the best form of defence'.  I just don't like how he discredits good people.

The club should ignore Cornes and do two things

1. All it can to make Kossie happy with his life in Melbourne

2. Sign a new contract before the start of next season 

If they can't get these done it will become another ugly circus very very quickly 

Calling Kossie a liar should come back to bite..


More pragmatism, less emotion...

 

If Kysaiah leaves. What or whom do we get in return...

We must send Cornes across to the USA, to Florida. There, he can meet with Donald Trump to compare notes. He meets all the necessary criteria for Trump: narcissi tendencies, his own selfish reasons to speak publicly, attack to cause delays as a double-barrelled form of futile self-defence, an ability to discredit good people as if he was superior and could recognise it, and could exemplify that fictitious assumption as well. MOKGA (make our Kane great again). Hell, Trump might run him as his vice-POTUS or as a senior, advising counsel (Kane is so influential, opinionated and intelligent).

Those that get frustrated by Kornes need to understand that is what he wants. He wants to be controversial, he wants angry supporters ringing up and complaining. It is his style of trash journalism.

Sounds positive but until he signs an extension it’s up in the air and this is why the speculation will persist. 
Jackson take 2 🤮

On Lamb’s comments, Cornes – speaking on AFL Trade Radio’s The Early Trade - said: “That’s a lie.

Wonder if Tim is off to see his Solicitor.

End result if it went all the way could be Kossie called in to answer questions which possibly wouldn’t help the club.

I would expect some stern follow up with the powers that be at afl house. Can’t have people on afl endorsed channels calling people liars.

Is it accepted fact that he doesn’t like living here?

according to cornes, yes 🤣 so it must be true as he doesn't like lies

As mentioned in a earlier post by Jaded No More that he lives / lived with both Jackson and Bedford (one gone and the other looking to go) wouldn’t help one iota! 
Hope this gets sorted sooner rather than later for two reasons.  
a) team stability for 2023.  
 b) I don’t think I could handle another year of ‘will he, wont he’ like what happened with Jackson this year!

He’s a contemporary KB. I think he’s hilarious. The amount of people he is able to bait weekly astounds me. 
 

Like you said mate, it’s what he wants and it works a treat.

He wants to be Stephen A Smith

Ports main focus will be to pursue JHF. If they do that - as many have said - they will not have much left to pursue Kozzy. 

The issue is next year when his current contract expires. Don't think I can stomach another season of speculation and distraction like we just had with Jackson

He's still really young, I remember Jeff Farmer had his struggles with Melbourne the city early on but grew to love it here. Obviously he did end up going back to WA but I believe that was more for family reasons in the end.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
