"I'm sick of some lazy members of the AFL media. I'm sick of AFL figures having opinions off the back of other AFL figures," he said.<\/p>\n

\"Kane<\/p>\n

"For the likes of 'Daisy' (Dale) Thomas and Tony Shaw, who work part-time and they don't have to do a lot of on air time, for their big opinions this week to be something I said 12 months ago on SEN SA is embarrassing. <\/p>\n

"Get up early, watch the games, work hard, and stop having opinions off other people's opinions. If I employed these people, I'd want my money back."<\/p>\n

Cornes' outspoken opinions have led to questions being asked of his place on the All-Australian selection panel, but he isn't worried about being pulled up by the AFL.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"I'd been working in the media for six years with my style prior to being on the All-Australian panel," he said.<\/p>\n

"The AFL knew who they were getting on the All-Australian panel. I wasn't going to change and I haven't changed from the time I've gone on there. <\/p>\n

\"Damien<\/p>\n

"I haven't heard from the AFL (and) I don't expect to. <\/p>\n

"I love it. I love the debate. I've learnt a lot by doing it. I've loved every minute of it."<\/p>\n

Cornes explained that his role in the media requires him to think ahead of time about different angles on stories, but \ufeffdoubled down on his disappointment at the Herald Sun.<\/p>\n

"You're on radio seven days a week, you do three TV shows a week, of course you're thinking about what you are going to say and what the angle will be," he said.<\/p>\n

"I'm embarrassed by the industry at times that the back page of the Herald Sun is something I said at seven o'clock on Friday morning when we've had eight games to talk about."<\/p>\n
