Cornes’s son, Eddy, was born with Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage, a rare heart defect causing one of his lungs gets more blood than it is supposed to. His heart is also on the right side of his chest.

In 2008 Eddy was just one year of age and in hospital fighting for his life. Cornes and his wife, Lucy, were spending most nights in hospital, but Cornes continued to play.

In Round 14, Port played the Western Bulldogs in Darwin when Minson turned on Cornes and said: “Shouldn’t you be home with your dying son?”

Cornes tells Mike Sheahan during a special one-hour edition of Open Mike tomorrow that Eddy, now 8, “had a number of complications when he was young”.

“It was his asthma that used to get him really badly so we spent a lot of time in hospital,” Cornes said.

Wow that is really disgusting. Did not just cross the line but also shat over the line. I am surprised Cornes did not punch him.

 

[moses]

Very ordinary.

 

[stabler]

Jeeeeesus....... That is next level ****.

Welcome to 2008 runvs.

Are you seriously suprised that what he said was terrible, surely any half intelligent person would have realised at the time that this is what minson said.

 

[Milux]

Wow. Being a father myself with a son with asthma (nowhere near as bad as cornes sons heart problems). I would of flattened him. What a shit thing to say.

 

[BoxMatrix]

Even if it was in the heat of the moment, someone who is a decent human being should be able control themselves. You're a campaigner, Will.

 

[Purple_Blood93]

I'm not doubting Cornes, actually I believe him but still, if Minson said this, then **** him, disgraceful from Will.

 

[Quinz]

Didn't we already know this?

 

[little graham]

I'm sure i've heard Kane say what happens on the field stays on the field

 

[HBF]

Minson is a moron of the highest order. Absolute waste of space - on oxygen thief.

 

[Righteo]

Didn't we already know this?

Yes, I'm a little confused. Has something new come up to prompt this?

 

[Dancing Dougy]

If that is true, I'd be utterly devastated. I've met Will a couple of times socially and left me with nothing but glowing memories. He is someone who suffers from severe white line fever, but that is so far from being remotely ok. I knew something inappropriate was said at the time, but I'm a little miffed as to why this has just come out.

 

[master bate]

Cornes chasing a buck going on Open Mike and dredging the whole thing up again is also ordinary.

I'll ask Kane. Shouldn't you be putting out fires?

 

[PAFCsince1870]

What a shit bloke.

 

[Coolangatta]

No surprises, just look at the ****ing face on this campaigner.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Minson is a flog of the highest order

You sir are a bigger flog then Will.

 

[Quinz]

I'll ask Kane. Shouldn't you be putting out fires?

Starting a few instead.

 

[Wil79]

Putrid stuff from Minson. Spent his whole career acting like he was better than everyone else. Turns out he's a pretty ordinary bloke.

 

[Igloo]

We knew this years ago?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Shit bloke. I don't know why anyone would even think that let alone say it.

 

[bugalugs213]

What so he brings it up again for the sake of a few dollars?
Really shouldve been left alone, shit thing to say, but its best to just let it go.

 

[midorigreenwood]

Did I just walk into a five year old thread?

Nope....

*leaves confused*

 

[Damon_3388]

Considering he was so desperate to get away from footy mid-season for the "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity to be a firefighter, it's interesting that he's already able to get time off from training/working to flit off to Melbourne to do a TV interview about his footy career.

To be fair though, apart from this incident, being Graham Cornes' son, and his general longevity/consistency, there's not really that much particularly interesting to discuss about Kane Cornes' career. He was a fairly "boring" player who was pretty low-key publicly, hence why Sheehan most likely brings the incident up in the interview, just to have something to talk about.

Worse one was Steve Waugh on Chris Cairns, 'toot toot'.
