Kane Cornes hits back at AFLPA CEO over criticism of Butters comments - Footy Classified

I'm 62 years old and have been a Port Adelaide supporter all my life. Kane is 100% correct with his comments. If you're going to put on that sort of performance, you should expect to cop criticism. Feelings don't come into it. What's real is real, wear it, and do better next game.

The trouble is Kane is using information only available after the fact to assess a decision made without access to that information. Sure, maybe if they'd been able to show him there and then that he was fine he might have chosen to play through it but it seems legitimate to say "well this looks bad, this very tough player is reporting a high level of pain, let's bench him just in case". If the scans had found a fracture we'd all be praising them for taking such good care of their player.

[@enriquevilches5686]

No he said if there was injury should of gone to hospital straight away ,he saud those knocks happen commen ,u could argue petracca but he was diagnosed by doctors and had diff symptons

[@LukeVesty]

Kane, you have some great insights. You genuinely do. But you'll do yourself greater service by occasionally backing down and changing your position. Given what happened to Petracca it was logical and sensible for Butters and the club to take a cautious approach.

[@enriquevilches5686]

Ridiculous he was cleared from damage so you sub everyone that gets a nose bleed bc could be worse ,toughen up

[@LukeVesty]

Yeah Petracca was cleared from damage too and then ended up needing a blood transfusion. Internal injuries around the torso area can be a lot worse than it might first appear. There's a big difference between a knee in the spleen and a little knock on the nose.

[@krankheadkrank1408]

[@jessehaberle9094]

Being strong enough to push through the pain is arrogant, if your injured get out and let a non injured player play. It’s not brave or courageous, it’s stupid.

[@TungstenTough]

The whole world is just getting too soft. I mean if you can't push through discomfort/middling pain then you're soft. I worked in construction and I have had to push through all sorts of pain/discomfort and it makes you stronger, giving in to a soft injury is weak. Nowadays, we are fast becoming a marshmallow culture in Australia. God help us if we have to go to war, my god we would be fcked.

[@gustaaf1892]

Many will disagree with you, but if pain is restricting a player to perform to a decent level, how can that player help turn things around for his team? If they can't lay a tackle because of bruised ribs, they'll be targeted by players running at them. No matter how good a fully fit player is, if they become a liability because of injury they should no longer be on the park if a sub is still available. All the macho BS in the world doesn't change that.

Would love to hear Dermott Brereton or Robert DiPierdomenico’s views on this.

[@stuarttierney6709]

Yeah, Kane's comments stood out as particularly stupid, even from him. Then he tried to weasel out saying "I didn't call him soft, Marsh should be careful not to put words in my mouth". It was completely obvious what the implication of Kane's attack was. Just because he used a euphemism, rather than the actual word, 'soft', doesn't really matter. Then he used really dumb ad hoc reasoning, as if it justified his view, when he said, "I waited for the medical report before making my comments, there was no cracked ribs in the scan, just bruised ribs, he could have played through". Port didn't know he didn't have cracked ribs when they made the decision. You can't put a bet on after you read the score in the paper the next day. Port had to make the decision based on limited information, it was perfectly possible Butters did have cracked ribs and going back on would have done serious damage, literally what happened with Petracca that Kane himself was up in arms about. This is just the BS a bunch of ex-players do that is so harmful. They sound off, "current players aren't as tough as we were back in the day, footy today is too soft". All it does is put pressure on players to put their own health and future lifestyle at risk. They are desperate to remind everyone how tough they were back in their day. All the false bravado really does is show how insecure they are.

[@camerontait3786]

So because the medical report came out OK after the match, Cornes thinks he's justified in what he said. What if Butters had gone back on having suffered significant damage? What would Cornes say then?

[@enriquevilches5686]

He got cleared medically,and wasnt tacken to hospital if those were the symptons

[@tonycarey1735]

Kane just looks after his own brand and that brand is to say something (every week if possible) that will garner headlines or clicks. It is not too much of a stretch to say that Cornes was implying that Butters was soft (no pun intended!) and he just picked the wrong vicitim. He (alone) had it in for Rachelle a few weeks ago and that was, again, making too much of a issue to get a headline.

Predictably the macho Neanderthals will attack you for making that comment. A player in real pain can't possibly perform at an optimum level, no matter what they say. If you can't lay a tackle because of bruised ribs, you become a liability. If you struggle to raise your arms to take a mark, you become a liability. The sensible thing to do is to bring on a sub to replace an injured player. How much a player is paid has absolutely nothing to do with hat.

[@samysull333]

kane is actually scary about his manipulation techniques. most journos do it, all good ones do it and do it well but very few are as shameless and obvious about it as kane and even fewer successful ones do it like kane. he reads over select words from his stuff on butters on the sunday footy show, conveniently leaving out when he says he’s (butters) gotta “toughen up” which is another way of saying he was soft like let’s not fuckin lie to ourselves here, he’s calling him soft. (which i agree with to be clear) but anyway, caro then rightfully calls him out, pointing out the fact that kane said he’s gotta “toughen up” and kane then went onto dismiss the call out and even use a tone that implies he’s denying it and then he started reading from his quotes from sunday again and he starts from THE WORD AFTER “toughen up” 😂😂😂 he then moves onto essentially threatening marsh (not violently or physically) saying “paul’s gotta be really careful about putting words in my mouth that i didn’t say” and the scariest part is whilst saying this he also misquotes paul 😭😭😭 he said kane was calling him “basically soft” which is true. he then used something from the private phone call to defend himself… claiming paul said kane was questioning his courage which is what he did by saying he’s gotta toughen up. idk it just concerns me how people don’t see it.

Do I think him going back out onto the ground would have changed the result? No. Do I think it was the right call to get him off the ground and try to get him rested and fit for next week earlier than letting him play out the game? Yes. The game was lost already, no point risking any injury at that time.

So he might not have structural damage. Ok unless your highly confident beyond reasonable doubt that its only brusing and nothing else you might play. But what if he the bruising is coupled with a new knock to the bruised area ? What's the risk to more serious injury? There's a balance between toughness in finals versus managing health and safety with a quantifiable objective risk based approach. I think Kane's approach needs to be coupled with correct risk assessment. It's a pity Kane can't apply his tough approach on safety to kicking skills at Port Adelaide. When you cant kick straight maybe kane should be selling his tough approach to Ken H and they should all be down at Alberton 5 am Monday morning kicking at goals until they get it right. Or maybe they think their too good for proper skill training at Port Adelaide. I luv listening to Kane but sometimes he's the biggest hypocrite when it comes to Port Adel. Kane should worry more about Ken showing his players how to kick straight rather than talking about health and safety.

[@kymamanda1169]

Channel 9 hating on Kane now he's going to 7 haha

[@177thailand]

100% Kane, others sucking up with the AFL as usual.

[@darrenlittle8841]

Just for the record, Zach Butters has been throwing the ball all year. When both hands move when you handpass the ball, that is a throw. Don't believe, just watch him. I have seen him hear the whistle right after he hand passed the ball where he spun around to show the umpire that he punched the ball, only to find out it was for another free kick in back play. Yes, indicating that he is very aware of what he is doing. This needs to looked at in a big way. It's cheating. And he's aware of it.

Throwing the ball is endemic at the moment in the AFL and it's been called out. But..... nothing yet is being done about it, AFL House don't want to slow the game down. Speed is what the AFL want, at virtually any cost.

[@wooloongabba]

Just like Nick Daicos

[@kanebennett5295]

Butters is as soft as ... harden up princess

[@michaelmansini2307]

Kane right as always

[@agmor1]

LOL. Ken has a horrible history of selecting injured or unfit young men. Ken is a loser, with a loser mentality that his game plan isn't at fault, it's the players. Or list management. Or the SANFL. Or the assistant coaches. The Doc Rivers of the AFL - a blame-shifter extraordinaire.

[@DarkgraveExtra]

nah kane is right

[@Darmix]

Stand by kane on this

[@ryanmitchell1732]

You don’t need to be sorry he was soft and the whole team is soft

[@JohnPereira-nl7hu]

Making out that he's soft as Butter.

[@JohnPereira-nl7hu]

Lol

[@denisfinn6681]

Kane is right......again

[@Ben.216]

Kane will never stop making excuses for Ken .. he has lost his last 4 finals ..! If you don’t understand that he can’t prepare his team for them !

[@stefanmastroianni9216]

God I hate Caro

[@spindoctor6385]

Nothing burger.

[@frankie4fingers552]

Butters .....SOFT AS BUTTER

[@CJArnold-hq3ey]

Caro turns me off eating my Lunch 🤮

Cornes needs to take his Port Power eye patch off and realise he is supposed to be neutral and isn't playing for Port Power anymore.

[@daviecrockett2272]

He wasn't neutral?

[@gastlygaming4273]

I’ve been saying for years the power failure have one of the worst, most overrated lists going around, glad the media has finally caught up. They win a wooden spoon within three years I guarantee it.
