Minson in slur row with Danyle Pearce

[Damon_3388]

Absolute dog act. I can't remember it happening but that is just unacceptable. The family has every right to be pissed. Still, they should keep it as private as possible.

Yep.

Lucy Cornes playing bogan philosopher to try and appear "above" Minson isn't doing her or her husband any favours IMO. Just makes them look dumb.

Port Adelaide wants AFL action taken against Western Bulldogs ruckman Will Minson for an alleged slur about Power playmaker Danyle Pearce’s mother.

Pearce and his Power teammates were angered by the remark, allegedly made during yesterday’s clash between the clubs at Etihad Stadium.

Port believe Minson crossed a line with the remark to Pearce.


‘‘There’s times when you just go on a little bit too far and I guess that is one of these situations,’’ Pearce’s teammate Brad Ebert told reporters.

That's what I want to know, it's obviously not racist and the media haven't revealed any health problems with Mrs Pearce. Is Danny just a mummy's boy or has Will crossed the line again?

Whatever it is, it's significant enough for Lucy Cornes to be up in arms about it, yet at the same time insignificant enough for Danyle Pearce himself not to give even the slightest shit about it whatsoever (or at least that's how it appears, due to his silence on the issue). Must have been curlier and more obstuse than Shane Warne's 'mystery ball'.

Either way, Kane Cornes needs to put a muzzle on his bish, because she's making him look foolish.

I really struggle to see what he could have said that was reportable by Pearce.

Is it though, maybe she's still angry about last time?

The Age article from after the incident in 2008.

WILL Minson has apologised for the distasteful personal remark he made about Kane Cornes' sick son during last Saturday night's Western Bulldogs-Port Adelaide match in Darwin.

Anxious about a hurtful on-field exchange as soon as he left the field, Minson informed the Bulldogs' football manager about his comment, left an apologetic message for Cornes later that night and asked him to phone back if he wanted to discuss the matter further.

While The Age believes they have still not spoken directly, Cornes did discuss the matter with the Bulldogs' football operations manager James Fantasia yesterday and has since informed Port Adelaide that he does not wish to make a formal complaint through the AFL.

While there were conflicting reports yesterday of what was said — and neither club would detail their versions publicly — sources said Minson made reference to Cornes being selfish for playing and that he should have been at home with his sick son, and that Cornes retaliated with a comment about Minson's deceased father.

Unbeknown to Minson, Cornes had made a late trip to Darwin — he arrived on match day — because his wife Lucy had delivered the couple's second son on Friday.

Cornes' son Eddy Jack, who turns two in September, was born with rare heart problems. Before his first birthday, he had two operations and he is due to have open-heart surgery in the next few years. In the lead-up to Port Adelaide's qualifying final last year, Cornes told The Age about the trauma and stress Eddy Jack's condition had caused him and wife.

"Sleeping on a hospital floor two nights before a game and then still being able to play well has sort of changed my attitude a little bit," Cornes said last September, referring to his altered perspective on football.

Fantasia last night confirmed Minson's part in the exchange and that he had spoken with Cornes yesterday. "We've spoken to Will and he was remorseful about saying anything and has tried to make contact with Kane. Subsequently, I have spoken to Kane as well, and the Port Adelaide Football Club and they were accepting of his apology and we're keen just to get on with it."

Port Adelaide's football manager Peter Rohde refused to identify Cornes, but said the player had indicated he did not want to pursue the matter further. "Whilst one of our players was certainly disappointed at the time, he's now happy to accept that the person is remorseful for what he said and he wants to move on," Rhode said.

Port Adelaide later released a statement identifying both players.

Cornes' father Graham yesterday identified Kane as the aggrieved player on his 5AA radio program, but suggested his son was disinclined to make a formal complaint.

Cornes' co-host, Ken Cunningham, said that, in his opinion, what had been said by the Western Bulldog player was worse than racial vilification.

"The clubs have to do something about this. This young man cannot walk away from this scot-free. This Western Bulldogs player, he has to be penalised because what he did was an absolute disgrace," Cunningham said.

The AFL does not act on sledging unless a player makes a complaint.

Yep. Apologise for something that he's already apologised for 5 years ago by making a donation to a charity.

[Gus]

It's doubtful whether that will ever come out 100%. Doubt either party would say, and the AFL would probably shut up shop.

U r an oxygen thief. Anytime you'd like to make an apology to my 5 yr old son, make it in the form of a donation to HeartKids SA
