Kane Cornes has come under fire over remarks he made about West Coast Eagles youngster Harley Reid.
The former Port Adelaide premiership player turned the spotlight onto the number one pick over his output in round eight against Essendon on Saturday.In the fourth quarter the 19-year-old pulled up instantly while chasing an opponent and went to the bench to receive treatment.
“If he wants to be the best, if he wants to be Nick Daicos, he’s got to have his training standards to a level that is ,” Cornes said.“I’m saying that was a concern for me to see how out on his feet he was late in a game that was nowhere near as high pressure as the Collingwood one. “I think Kane has spoken in the past about the unbelievable pressure that the Western Australian media are putting on this kid.
Lyon then highlighted Jason Horne-Francis, a player that Cornes praises more than most, and the criticism he received early in his career. “It may be that our explosive friend over in the west, Harley Reid, has great ability but he may not necessarily have the endurance capabilities yet. That will build over a period of time.“He had a miss last night.”It wasn’t just the two legends who slammed Cornes over his comments with footy fans far and wide calling out the criticism.
