Kane Cornes accepts Lance Franklin's challenge - Part 1

The debate took place on Monday night.

On Footy ClassifiedKane Cornes and Sam McClure went head-to-head on Sydney’s Lance Franklin.

The topic of conversation is if ‘Buddy’, in his current form, is in the top 200 players in the AFL.

McClure said: “If you pick two teams in a competition to play against someone else, you pick 44 players, you’ll find a place for Franklin.”

Cornes replied: “He’s not among the top 200 players in the game.”

McClure: “Based on what? Looks like you have a certain status. ”

Corns: “Everything. Based on the best and fairest results in the last two years.

“Based on my view. I say this before the ball bounces. This is a hunch. ”

McClure: “Did you just feel it?”

Corns: “100 percent of it.”

Cornes explains the reason further SEN breakfast on Wednesday morning.

“This has been seen as a critique of Buddy Franklin,” he said.

“Sam and I had been talking about this all year, before the ball bounced with Kingy (David King), after reading the top 50 of the Herald Sun.

“They had him at 11 years old, I told Kingy he wasn’t in the top 50.

“I said, ‘This isn’t the Buddy Franklin of 2016, it’s Buddy Franklin now’, and Scoop (McClure) made a fuss about it.

“Obviously, most people would say I’m right that he’s not in the top 50 players in the game at the moment. He was arrested seven times by Griffin Logue over the weekend, for God’s sake.

“It’s nothing to be ashamed of. The Top 50 is the elite of the competition elite.

“I don’t think it’s a criticism to say that Buddy Franklin isn’t in the top 25 per cent in comp. You’re not in the top 10-11 at your club, that’s equivalent to that.”

Cornes is challenged to name 200 players in front of Franklin by SEN Drive’s Andy Maher and Andrew Gaze.

Call it this Friend Challenge.

Players from each club who Cornes says are “in better shape at the moment”, but “don’t get hung up on what he’s done in the past”.

“Don’t get confused here, not a better career than Buddy. He is an Australian football legend, he goes straight to the Hall of Fame.”

“I’ve always used Data Champion as an analytical tool, but I’ve never relied on it alone.

“It’s interesting to see that Franklin’s spear is ranked 207th on their rankings.”

The last panda in Europe is a weak giant who can't even eat bamboo

Artist’s interpretation of a new species of European panda. (Image credit: © Velizar Simeonovski, Chicago) (opens in a new tab) A pair of fossilized teeth in the museum’s collection was recently revealed when pandas last roamed Europe. When the researchers examined the teeth, which had been in storage for about 40 years, they found that the fossils belonged to an ancient European panda species that had never been seen before. The newly discovered species, which is a close relative of the modern giant panda, roamed the continent about 6 million years ago and was likely the last panda in Europe. The teeth – the upper canines and upper molars – were originally excavated in the late 1970s from a site in northwestern Bulgaria, but were eventually housed in the Bulgarian National Museum of Natural History in Sofia. The teeth were never properly cataloged, and as a result they were left untouched for decades. But when museum staff recently discovered an unusual t...

Qantas workers reveal the truth about airline delays and labor shortages under Alan Joyce

Image
A former Qantas baggage handler has exposed the chaos behind the scenes as the airline struggles to save its sinking reputation with travelers experiencing long delays and flight cancellations. The man who chose not to be named claimed that after 1,800 baggage handlers were laid off during the Covid-19 period and work was outsourced to third-party contractors, baggage was left in rooms for weeks and even planes broke down. “Yeah, when the pandemic hit, we got JobKeeper for a while and were given enforced redundancy,” he told Nine’s Today Show. ‘Many men don’t want to go. Many older men with more than 35, 30 years experience, they don’t know how to apply for jobs online. So it affects older people. An unnamed former Qantas baggage handler said the airline had suffered since it fired its experienced ground crew and replaced them with inexperienced contract workers. The former Qantas employee said morale plummeted after experienced baggage ...
