I'd rather Hird.How about Kane for our next coach?![]()
Player gets concussed.
"NOT TOUGH ENOUGH" - Kane Cornes
Cox must have started as 5th or 6th choice KPD going into 2024:Laverde round house punched him straight in the forehead.
Jackson did nothing on him last week and Andrew only popped off after he went off the ground. Perhaps going back has stripped away some of the complexity and just allowed him to play.
Yep, because Kane Cornes knows about human physiology.Uh, no, that's not what he said. He said if that hit causes you to get concussed, you are not built to play AFL.

"NOT TOUGH ENOUGH" - Kane Cornes
Incorrect. We also never agree with Damo.Ok, ok, I thought there were standards on here. 2 talking heads WE never agree with:
1. Kane “click bait” Cornes
2. David “hates coach and McKay” Kingie King
did Lloyd just say, “ the kids, i’d like to touch some of them?

I’ll put a row ofattack the messenger, not the message.
standard Essendon delusion.
Kane is 100000000000000% right here.
Harsh on Redman. He’s having a down season but he’s a competitor, no question. Whether it’s a drop in confidence or carrying a nagging, playable injury, I think there are other reasons for his drop in competitive consistency this year. At his best he is beast-mode.This Cox discussion has got me thinking. No one is disputing his talent however there is a clear and obvious shortfall in his level of competitiveness that is required to be an AFL footballer.
If you go through our team on Saturday I think you could mount a fair case that there are more than a handful of players not competitive enough to ever be key players in a contending side. Some of the most competitive and hardworking guys in the side are also the ones who aren’t the most talented (which may explain their selection).
Talented but lacks competitiveness: Parish, McKay, Redman, Draper, Stringer, Langford, Gresham, Cox, Jones, A Davey, Bryan
Competitive but lacks talent: Kelly, Laverde, Menzie
Talented and competitive: Merrett, Durham, Caldwell, Martin, Caddy, Roberts, Shiel, McGrath (?)
Remove Redman, add Wright.Harsh on Redman. He’s having a down season but he’s a competitor, no question. Whether it’s a drop in confidence or carrying a nagging, playable injury, I think there are other reasons for his drop in competitive consistency this year. At his best he is beast-mode.
Redman picks and chooses when he is competitive, one week he looks elite the next week he looks completely disinterested. It's not just this season so can't blame injuries, he teases us every year that he will break out but then drops off.Harsh on Redman. He’s having a down season but he’s a competitor, no question.

So somehow Kane knows more than a doctor about concussions?!! What a load of shit. Thought he was way out of order there. Poor form from Lloyd calling young players out. He wasn’t exactly known for his toughness first few years. And how is it Scott’s fault if these players aren’t tough? Weird shit
