He may have dropped too many pennies on the ponies.

Cornes is like a dog with a bone.

FFS He should leave the kid alone. Has done the same with Horne-Francis.

Cornes is a self-righteous flog.

The football world would benefit if Cornes took an extra month off.

Lol. The only person complaining was Kane Cornes. Cornes has a serious, almost sociopathic obsession with Ginni.

I'd hoped when he left the Pies, the media might let up on Jack a little. But not sour puss Kane Cornes.

I agree. He seems to be the only sports journo/commentator who hasn't taken any time off.

Cornes talks about Ginnivan because it generates interest and ratings. That is all.

Cornes is successful because of people who react to his opinions, spread them, then go listen to his radio show to complain how "stupid" he is while he laughs and counts his money.

I think everyone knows Cornes is employed by sen & FC for his fake outrage.

And people keep falling for it, every single time.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Agreed with you completely. But I'm not sure everyone is falling for it, I think lots of people just genuinely enjoy negatively reacting to his takes.

Cornes is the shock jock of footy - shock jocks are grotesquely over paid

 

[76woodenspooners]

Cornes is the shock jock of footy -

Not really. Cornes is pretty harmless. Shock Jocks have their own place in hell.

shock jocks are grotesquely over paid

Sadly, they get paid the market rate for their services.

 

[NMBB]

Economics wise quite accurate - the ethics of what they do with the blessing of their employer is another matter

Maybe this says more about me, but I actually agreed with Cornes in principle, but for very different reasons than he’s cited.

Cornes is banging about how little game time he played in the finals - doesn’t matter, he trained, he turned up to team meetings, Eventhough he might not have been on the field, he was still on the job.

But new club, new year, for him this is about getting to know his team mates and his coaches, starting to build relationships.

And he’s only 20, he’s still had a decent 6 week break since the GF, more than most workers get.

But not a big deal, and not worth dying on a hill over.

Falling for it?

He says something and people either agree or disagree.

Cornes is a little bit right here,

I agree, he won a Premiership at Collingwood but he’s at Hawthorn now get involved show them you want to part of what they are going through and you’re fully buying in on the Hawks journey.

I wonder if it was a bit of a test from Sam Mitchell.

Each to their own but if I had the chance I’d be all in and and chomping at the bit to get going.

exactly. Who the hell would come into work if the Boss said to have an extra week off.

 

[ColinMochrie]

Where do we all think his career will end up? I’ll always rate his footy smarts, but I feel like his physical limitations will hold him back in the long term. Might not get to 100 games.

He screams Jaidyn Stephenson to me. Gonna get games but not really be great then fade away into insignificance.

Maybe he booked travel based on still being at Collingwood and having the extra couple of weeks? I guess he could have cancelled but likely had Hawthorn's blessing to stay with his plans.

And regurgitating it. Don’t give him air and he withers and dies on the vine.

I'm absolutely sure the Hawthorn Football Club advised Jack what date he was required back at the club for training. I'd also be absolutely sure he would have told the club where & when he was on holidays.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Former Port Adelaide player accuses current Hawthorn player of doing stuff or not doing stuff… zzzzzzzz.

 

[Markfs]

One thing i'd say about the volcanetoad.... he's manages to think up more interesting topics than most - aside from his Port interests. But if he ever wants to be a journalist, he needs to do a course in the basics, and in this instance, that would include contacting sam mitchell to see if ginnivan was given any directions regarding not turning up....which evidently he was. Not that the Toadmeister is the only person in australia falsely calling themselves a journalist at the moment.

 

[76woodenspooners]

When Mitchell says “It was my idea”, that’s what his media managed response was. It’s not necessarily what actually happened.

There is a reason clubs hire comms and media people - and it’s certainly not to be spokespeople, because we never hear directly from them.

Nah, in this case Cornes was editorialising. It was opinion. Nothing to do with journalism. And no obligation to fact check (and essentially the facts were correct, Ginni indeed hadn’t turned up to training)

Journalism is what Damian Barrett pretends to do, it’s a very different thing.

I think Stepho will have a second coming.
