Kane Cornes<\/a> has doubled down on his criticism of Collingwood skipper Darcy Moore<\/a>, after it was labelled "disrespectful" by a journalist.<\/p>\n

The Pies went down to Gold Coast by 11 points on Saturday afternoon, keeping the Suns undefeated in 2024 at home.<\/p>\n

It was Moore, who had just 11 touches and one intercept mark, who caught Cornes' eye for all the wrong reasons, spurring him to question the defender's leadership on Sunday.<\/p>\n

"I reckon he plays one good game in every six," Cornes said on Nine's Sunday Footy Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n

"I know that sounds harsh, but as a leader of this footy club… I just see it far too often.<\/p>\n

\"Darcy<\/p>\n

"Darcy Moore disappoints me. I've got to be honest about Darcy Moore, the premiership skipper."<\/p>\n

Journalist Sam McClure called out Cornes' analysis of Moore, unhappy with the pile on that the 2023 premiership captain copped on Sunday.<\/p>\n

"I think that's incredibly disrespectful to a premiership captain," McClure said on Nine's Footy Classified<\/em> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

\ufeffCornes clapped back at that suggestion.<\/p>\n

\"Darcy<\/p>\n

"Well, I'm just speaking facts here," he said.<\/p>\n

The Port Adelaide great moved to defend his words, noting that Moore has underperformed by his own standards so far in 2024.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"How many coaches votes do you think Darcy Moore has this year?" Cornes asked McClure.<\/p>\n

"He's had four (coaches votes).<\/p>\n

\"Cornes<\/p>\n

"He's had one vote in round seven,\ufeff he had 45 (coaches votes) last year. He's not the player that you think he was."<\/p>\n

Cornes doubled down again, showing vision of Moore's poor output in the Pies' loss to the Suns.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I don't just say things for the sake of it.\ufeff His timing is off, as I said. He doesn't impact offensively," he said.<\/p>\n

"What's that press there? That's not a player who is captain of a premiership team, who probably gets paid $900,000 for the year.<\/p>\n

\"Darcy<\/p>\n

"These are the facts, Sam."\ufeff<\/p>\n

McClure responded by slamming Cornes' earlier take.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I think he's out of form, but he doesn't play one good game in every six," McClure said, before explaining why Moore isn't supposed to be a shut-down defender.<\/p>\n

"Darcy Moore is not supposed to play on Ben King."<\/p>\n

Moore's role has naturally become more restricted since the retirement of defender Nathan Murphy on the eve of their 2024 campaign, due to ongoing concussion issues.<\/p>\n

It's forced\ufeff key forward Billy Frampton to move to the backline to fill a crucial shut down defender position left by Murphy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
