Kane Cornes gets paid to be outrageous.100% agreed, like I said earlier he's taken 2-3 games to get back into the mix every time he's been out the last couple of years.... watch him have a mid game and get 15-19 touches and Kane Cornes will lay into him even though he's been out for 10+ weeks.... but 3 weeks later when he has 30+ he won't say shit.
He probably will get low possessions but it will be his team defence aspects which should be under scrutiny. If he can play the defensive game style from earlier in the year then his 17 ball hunting touches will complement the midfield beautifully. It’s exactly what we’ve been missing. What worries me is that it’s harder to execute new skills when coming back from injury than it is to fall into old patterns.100% agreed, like I said earlier he's taken 2-3 games to get back into the mix every time he's been out the last couple of years.... watch him have a mid game and get 15-19 touches and Kane Cornes will lay into him even though he's been out for 10+ weeks.... but 3 weeks later when he has 30+ he won't say shit.
DO NOT DOUBT ME BTW.as per the thread title, he'll be back in 2 weeks. likely comes straight back in
(allegedly, this is from someone at the club)
He shouldn't of been picked this week should of played VFL, Just another horrendous match committee call.Insipid. Would be stoked if someone offered up a half baked trade offer for this coward…

At least he tackled even if underdone. What is Redman's excuse, jibbed the contest a few times.Insipid. Would be stoked if someone offered up a half baked trade offer for this coward…
That's the coach giving him that many CBAs.Once he pulls the jumper on he is declaring himself fit and forgoes all excuses. To think he had more CBAs than Caldwell, Durham and Shiel tonight! GTFO of this team Parish you fraud!
Well this didn’t happen. FfsWhatever we did with Duursma and Ridley do with him. Hopefully these last who weeks were bolted on not becuase of a setback but to ensure he’s cherry ripe like the later. Parish… like Shiel has the tendency to take 2-3 weeks to get going which we can ill afford
You didn't see the game?How'd this guy go? Bash in for some contested clearances? Give off a few don't argues? Make life hard for Merrets tag?
Not getting a TV while this guy's in the side.You didn't see the game?

He is not the problem personally but given his history of taking a while to get tuned up after injury lay offs the coach should have stuck to his word an played him in the VFL.The bloke's missed the last 10 games, he doesn't select himself but hey he's the problem ??
What about Wright, McGrath, Menzie, Laverde, Gresham, Stringer, Perkins, Redman what's their excuse and not just this week ???
The problem is that he has a history of struggling the first couple of games. Not his fault but he should have played VFL (same with Gresham, Heppell and Perkins IMO)The bloke's missed the last 10 games, he doesn't select himself but hey he's the problem ??

I agree but he doesn't select himself, this is an error at the selection table.The problem is that he has a history of struggling the first couple of games. Not his fault but he should have played VFL (same with Gresham, Heppell and Perkins IMO)
He is just an easy target. I reckon one thing most will agree on is that he should not have played, especially when we had a couple of match-fit, younger players who could have filled a similar roll.I agree but he doesn't select himself, this is an error at the selection table.
Just irks me that people jump on here and carry on as if he's the only problem.
