Buckley, Cornes clash in radio dispute as excellent slams Eagle’s De Goey restriction take

Collingwood icon Nathan Buckley has actually pertained to Jordan De Goey’s defence, after the Magpies star was savaged by outspoken media speaker Kane Cornes for a high bump on West Coast child Elijah Hewett.

Cornes identified the hit a ‘weak act’ on Channel 9’s Sunday Footy Show, which Buckley took umbrage with in a heated exchange in between the set on SEN radio.

“He definitely deserves to be up at Tribunal and he’ll get the weeks that he deserves,” Buckley said of De Goey.

“For mine it’s a three, but I think the reaction post this incident has been over the top. I thought it was a football action, it was an instinctive football action. It’s one not accepted in the game now. There was no raised elbows or real jumping off the ground.”

Buckley wasn’t impressed with Cornes’ ‘weak’ remark; nor his recommendation to De Goey’s list of off-field debates, stating the 2 problems are ‘separate’.

“You made a comment about you thought it was ‘weak.’ I don’t agree with you at all,” Buckley said.

“There was stuff you tried to wrap in about his off-field misdemeanours… you’re judging that every player needs to have a certain level of professionalism and understanding of what it takes to be an AFL footballer.

“But all of that is separate to what happened on the field with Jordy De Goey. That was a knee jerk, instant and blink of an eye outcome.

“I don’t reckon five metres before that he was thinking he was going to iron the kid out, I’m thinking he was thinking he was going to go in and tackle him.”

However, Cornes disagreed, stating Buckley was being ‘extremely lenient’ in ruling the contact unintentional.

“This guy is a skilful player who can turn on a dime, pick the ball up and snap it over his shoulder,” Cornes said of De Goey.

“In the moment, he’s got options – he can tackle and he can corral a defenceless player who’s gotten rid of the ball, and he jumps off the ground and smashes his shoulder into his head.”

“He’s not a defenceless player, he’s a footballer on an AFL field,” Buckley responded to.

He’s an 18-year old kid who eliminated the footy and wasn’t anticipating to be bumped in the head because minute,” was Cornes’ action – which Buckley once again disagreed with.

“You tried to wrap up the fact that Jordy shouldn’t have had that contest against that opposition because they’re lowly ranked,” he said.

“It’s not going to be part of the calculation. As a coach, I want my players to go out and play on edge all the time – a guy like Jordy De Goey, who’s a physical beast… does play on the edge and with aggression.

“The way you played and what you think is weak, would be different to what he thinks was weak.

“[West Coast’s] dom Sheed saying: ‘I’ve now seen the vision and maybe we should have stood up for him.’ None of the players stood up because it wasn’t seen as anything outside of a football act – otherwise, his teammates would have got over and remonstrated.”

Cornes wasn’t the only celebration to police Buckley’s ire – the previous Magpies captain and coach was likewise not impressed by West Coast’s action to the occurrence, who published news of De Goey being sent to the Tribunal for the bump to their social networks platforms. The posts have actually because been erased.

“What are West Coast tweeting about Jordy De Goey? It’s none of their business,” Buckley said.

The Eagles have actually likewise been knocked for talking about the length of De Goey’s suspension, with star Dom Sheed stating he should have ‘a month or two on the sidelines’ for the hit.

Speaking on the Eddie and Jimmy Podcast, previous excellent Jimmy Bartel was scathing.

“OK Dom, you’re taking the piss there,” Bartel said.

“I get that was a great little joke and I hope that’s a joke. Your colleague Andrew Gaff got 8 weeks for king striking somebody – that’s 2 months, mate. It’s a bump.

“If you come out and state 2 months, it’s simply ill-informed and it’s ignorant concerning what the real system is.

“Dominic, tell me how it gets to eight matches? He intentionally got him in the head? No, he didn’t.

“If you felt so bad about it Dom, maybe go and stick up for your teammate?”

De Goey is anticipated to receive a three-match suspension when he appears at the Tribunal on Tuesday night.

Adelaide have actually lost crucial protector Tom Doedee for the remainder of the AFL season with an ACL rupture in his best knee.

It is a substantial blow to the finals hopes of the Crows, who are coming off an upset loss to Gold Coast that dropped them out of the leading 8.

Doedee suffered the injury in the very first regard to Saturday night’s loss to the Suns.

Scans on Sunday in Adelaide validated the rupture, and Doedee will require surgical treatment.

“Unfortunately it’s not the news we were hoping for and scans have confirmed that Tom has ruptured his ACL,” Crows high efficiency supervisor Darren Burgess said in a club declaration.

“He was clearly in some discomfort after coming from the ground on Saturday night and now we have confirmation of the injury which will sideline him for the rest of the season.

“We all share Tom’s disappointment and we are supporting him as best we can as he prepares for surgery and then rehabilitation.

“What we know of Tom is he is of high character and the utmost professional, and having been through this process once before, knows what it takes to get back to playing at the highest level.”

Doedee likewise suffered an ACL rupture in his left knee throughout round among the 2019 season, sidelining him for the remainder of the year.

Adelaide are counting the cost of the frustrating loss to the Gold Coast, with Crows coach Matthew Nicks recommending analysis of their efficiency will discover some “quite glaring” holes.

Not just did they lose Doedee, they got rid of a 35-point cause the Suns’ 9 straight objectives to lose by 25 points in Darwin.

Nicks regreted the substantial swing in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, when the Suns took total control at the contest and lifted their strength throughout the field to rise into a match-winning position.

“That was probably the most disappointing thing sitting in the rooms post-game, that run they went on,” he said.

“We got a lot of things wrong during that period … some of our contest wasn’t at the level and that put us under so much pressure.

“For us to then bring it back and still find the front again, is something we will take away from this game, but we’re going to have to really look at this one and find out where we could have done better, and I think it will be quite glaring.”

Adelaide sit ninth on the ladder and still have a 6-6 record, although their 1-4 record far from home is plainly triggering alarm bells throughout the club.

“We need to do better, we know that,” Nicks said.

“It’s something that is front of mind for us.

“We’ll go back and have another look at it but we understand we’ve just got to be better.”

Blues savaged for ‘staggering’ minute

One occurrence in Carlton’s loss to Melbourne on Friday night has actually summarized the group’s despair in 2023, according to previous gamer and AFL expert David King.

King was shocked to see a significant protective mistake by wingman Lochie O’Brien, who enabled direct challenger Alex Neal-Bullen far excessive space to crumb a pack and kick an early objective, receive a ‘staggering’ absence of response from his Blues colleagues.

“This is not about system, this is not about strategy. This is about attitude, application and setting standards, or not allowing poor standards to be part of your football club,” King said on Fox Footy’s First Crack.

“Not one discussion about what broke down. Not one bit of feedback or challenge to the guy who’s just let you down.

“Not one point to Lochie O’Brien saying ‘Hey mate, we need better than that’… not one person said anything in the breakdown of that goal.

“I find that staggering. I’m almost angry; I’m not even a Carlton fan. For a Carlton fan to see that you’d say, how invested are you, that every goal that we concede doesn’t hurt? I think the fans sometimes hurt more than the players.”

King compared the absence of action to how he anticipated Melbourne to respond to a comparable occurrence, stating Steven May would have acted ‘like a soccer goalkeeper’ had it been a Demon slipping up of that magnitude.

“You see Melbourne conceding goals, Steven May, he’s like a soccer goalkeeper for two minutes. He goes into a frenzy to sort it out so it doesn’t happen again.

“And so if you let that play out, the same play happens the next two to three minutes. They sit you down during the week and say ‘Hey mate, we can’t live with this’. Does that happen at Carlton?

“Not only is it not happening – they’ve got no idea. No idea. That is awful.”

Having dropped to 14th on the ladder with 5 successive losses, the Blues deal with old competitors Essendon next on Sunday night, in what looms as a last possibility to restore their spluttering season.
