Rare to hear a nice word from Kingy and Cornes, but nice to not be discussed for the wrong reasons at least

I wouldn't say Cornes was nice in that segment, but at least he didn't cut loose.

Cornes and King were two of our biggest advocates over the past four to five seasons.

Bring back the 🤔 emoji. STAT!

For all Kings flip flops he’s a closet Dee’s fan. He knows we’re good, he knows we can push for it. Cornes believes in our youth. You can’t ask much more of 2 guys paid to generate clicks who work in an industry that basically shares news. I mean only this week we had 3 journos write 3 ‘separate’ articles about us that all said exactly the same thing all delivered on the same day. 


It’s also not their jobs to be Dees nuffies like we are. Their job is to be objective, disinterested and to call things as they see them.

Actually their job is to create headlines and clicks. Objective football journalism lies outside the AFL endorsed media

Kingy 100%, Cornes? Not so sure about that…

I would have said one of Oliver’s great strengths at his best is his ability to get to the next contest.

It isn’t pretty ala a Caleb Windsor but he’ll huff and puff and vomit his way there, every time

Cornes has consistently stated that we have the ability to perform at the top and that we've underperformed. During the first half of last year when our form was looking reasonable, he stated that he thought we'd be contending for the flag, which many on this site continue to believe to be true. Cornes also said that throughout our drop-off in 2023 and thought we could still finish in a meaningful position in the Top 4.

He's criticised our game plan (which is hard to argue with), and the length of contract that Oliver received (that's not a unique criticism of the MFC). Being an advocate of a club doesn't require your adoration to lack analytical value or warranted criticism.

You're kidding right?

 

Loved the Christian Petracca feedback that @Slartibartfast reported on and was interested in. I'd like to think/hope we can now well and truly park the negatives around that narrative in the past and move on.

100% we can. Fans are the only ones hanging onto the negatives, and fair enough, too. But as far as the club, players and coaches go, it’s dead and buried. Ok so the same stirrings might occur at the end of this season but that’s not gonna change the current mood, aspirations, belief, hunger, whatever else, of this season.

I dunno, I reckon you’d be pushing to find a bigger Port nuffie than Cornes. 


Cornes definitely rated us up until the second half of last year.

He doesn't rate Goodwin though and thinks he has a game plan that's stuck in 2002.

Joey Montagna has been our biggest supporter over the years.

As well as Sam Landsberger (RIP). 

King was at training pre Christmas with some random I didn’t recognise but he was making a lot ooh’s and ahhh’s whenever Claz did something. Clearly loves Claz and I’d imagine wants him to do well.

It's a shame to see two great footballers reduced to saying anything in an attempt to stay relevant. I have no doubt King was impressed when attending training but history firmly suggests he will turn on a dime the second things go bad. Pumping "I knew this was coming". King and Cornes are a true reflection of the poor state of football media in this country. 

I just watched the video. A little bit of hyperbole in this thread tbh.

Also, only a small part of the overall show on radio. It was fine, a few insights from Kingy and the Cornholio nodding along at times.

Don't read too much into it is my view, and clickbait it was not. I enjoyed hearing about the Dees for a bit and that was that.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
