Triggered? Me! How dare you?!

Don't know why there's argument. Cornes will have moved on to some other self-opinionated clickbait by tomorrow.

 

I just see Kane Cornes as the Andrew Bolt of the football world. Need I say any more?

All except Kim Jong Un dear leader of Nth Korea. He apparently never defecates, bowls a perfect 300 and hits 52 on a round of golf.

excellent correction

Cornes is now concentrating on calling Norff and Eagles fat unfit footballers. That should keep him busy for rest of the season.

I am excited to hear his take on Freo too.

He did tell me last week that Grundy is better than Jackson, which is somewhat a revolutionary opinion.

What really? Don't tell me he has blamed Dan for the booing JHF?


I love the way Clarry is so underrated by the media

Just ask the coaches whoā€™s the best player in the last couple of yearsĀ

Bontenpelli at No.2, interesting.Ā 

On a related note, if I recall correctly BT's famous line in the 2021 GF after kicking that 3rd quarter goal along the lines that if "the Bulldogs go on to win, he will be remembered as on of the greatest Dogs of all time" following which 'The Bont' was bearly sighted and we all know the rest of the story.

Hopefully Kane's player ratings can have a similar kiss of death influence on those he's named?

Interesting that he's not included every other Ch 7 comentators favorite for the Brownlow of Daicos.Ā  Guess that will get some more clicks and chatter for going against the grain.Ā  On the general Kane strategy, I'm not sure if any have read the below publishedĀ  reciently in The Guardian, but I think it generally hits the nail on the head:

I get Cornes is divisive but what's wrong with the list? Hard to argue with the top 4. Dangerfield should be replaced by Clarry.Ā 

This.Ā  Dangerfield was useless first couple of rounds.

Absolutely useless if he wasnt Dangerfield he would have been axed if Scott had any guts

Dan would have got someone else to boo for him and then denied any knowledge of asking them.

This man is a jerk, and 40 good posters have fallen into his trap. Why are we giving anything he says oxygen?

Iā€™d like to propose that nothing the jerk says should be referenced on DL. If people didnā€™t react to the [censored] he writes, then maybe he will get back to being a half decent football analyst. Letā€™s please treat him like HWCBN (if thatā€™s the correct abbreviation), and ignore him. His treatment of Kossie and comments about Jackson were the last straw for me.

WOW - that guy is SO on the mark. I wonder why no one else has picked up on it and written about it with such accuracy before (or maybe they have, and I just haven't seen it).

Iā€™ve heard those top three a bit recently. Funny, I remember in a particular game at the end of 2021 when halfway through the third quarter, the commentators were raving about Bontempelli. Oliver went on to him, Bontempelli was hardly seen again, and Melbourne dominated. Doesnā€™t that say something about the respective quality of the two players? It was, after all, a reasonably important game.Ā 

I am not knocking Oliver, but the Bont is ALSO "very special". i think the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Dangerfield did not have much impact in the first couple of games ala Curnow. But then Cornes cannot remember past something that happened 3 weeks ago ( way beyond his recogisence limit "

Agree with you in reference to his treatment about Kozzie but I thought his comments about Jackson were spot on.

Essentially called LJ a poor key forward and that's exactly what he is.Ā 

Ā 

Anyone who doesnā€™t have Oliver in the top 5 players in the game is not actually watching football.Ā 

Further to above, wholeheartedly agree.Ā Ā 

In the Melb Commentary they all seem to wrap Oliver but contradict the whole process by not following through, which, by the way, i'm not displeased about.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
