Kane Cornes makes surprising media career decision after weeks of controversy

[Golden_6]

I think people are reading way too much into this. He's literally back on the broadcast on Thursday night in 3 days time.


"However, Cornes will return from Channel 7's Thursday night coverage of Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn.

The scheduled leave period from Cornes comes after the ex-Port Adelaide star has been involved in controversy surrounding his role in the media."

Is it because Port Adelaide lost to the bye again?

Kane Cornes takes a week break, wow what a headline.

Be thankful for small mercies

I don't mind him being opinionated. It's how selective he is with what he gives it on and what he ignores that has annoyed me.

Spot on

He is a professional commentator that has turned his back on one broadcaster to join another for the money, and now he takes a “break” in the middle of the AFL season? Just not up to standards that we would come to expect and I would suspect Channel 7 would be looking closely whether he is the right man for the job.. for me he just hasn’t produced what type of money he is asking for

That's funny because he uses pretty much that exact sort of language when he criticizes players.

Hopefully he gets on the cans, too health conscious though.

Just tell yourself low carb beer is a health drink like i do. Jog in a can. The more you drink the fitter you get. I should be running marathons by now but somethings not right with my theory i think.

Fireman Cornes can dish it out but really can’t take it

 

[Saints4ever]

Will return on Thursday night for Bulldogs vs Hawks.

So he’s only missing a couple of shows through the week.

Did we really need an article on this?

 

[windyhill]

Is he playing the mental health card ?

I don't think hes said anything publicly. He probably just had a specialists appointment to see if its possible to iron his face instead of using botox or something. He shits me a times like everyone but i don't think hes the type to back down from too many media blow ups and go down that path. If so, a 5 day break isnt going to solve anything

Hahah that's exactly what I was going for

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Can you imagine a world with out Kane Cornes?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Does this have something to do with his break?

Doubtful, Hodge is on air atm.

 

[Budgie]

So what did they say about the umps?

 

[RandB]

Cornes is a sniper and a muckraker operating under the guise of a 'I call it as I see it' hard but honest commentator.

He isn't stupid, sometimes his footy comments can be insightful, but he is overbearing , thinks he knows everything and picks and chooses who he goes after.

is pathetic and he has made a fool of himself.

Fantastic that the umpires are considering defamation. I think these guys are getting too carried away with the microphones. It’s either that or they are calling out the state of the game the AFL don’t want uncovered.

 

[Redline]

He is on planned leave.

I thought the discussion om this at the time was based off the AFL statement.

They wouldn't even have to pay, the network would cover it. Plus Hodgey can use the good.bloke cause.

I don’t they have anything to worry about as the suit will never get off the ground, but it made me wonder if it was enough for Kane to shit himself

 

[Elite Master]

So when Corne takes a break it's a big news story but when other commentators take breaks (of which there are many at the half half way mark of the season), nobody cares.

Why would the umpires sue the media? All they did was report what the AFL said. Why not sue the AFL? They actually invented the defamatory story.
