Port Adelaide nice turned outspoken AFL commentator Kane Cornes has given Fremantle defender Brennan Cox a clip over his pre-season skateboarding incident, suggesting he shouldn’t receives a commission for the video games he misses.
Cox is anticipated to return for the Dockers’ pre-season conflict towards Adelaide at Cockburn subsequent Friday after hurting his knee skateboarding final month.
“On Brennan Cox, I’ve got the solution for this,” Cornes stated on SEN.
“Players shouldn’t be participating in extreme sports, Brennan Cox isn’t 16, he’s 24 years of age, skateboarding is an injury waiting to happen.
“If you want to skateboard, go ahead but if you get injured skateboarding, water-skiing, snow-skiing, jumping out of a plane, jumping off a rock or like Sydney Stack last year riding a motorbike or going down extreme hills on a mountain bike that’s fine, do it, live your life.
“But if you get injured and you miss football, you don’t get paid for the portion you are injured. It’s a simple solution to me.”
Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir revealed the weird harm on Tuesday and stated Cox’s knee an infection had taken some time longer to recuperate than first thought.
“We think the Adelaide game he’ll play,” Longmuir stated.
“It’s one of those things, the infection looks like it’s cleared up on top of the swelling and it’s just about making sure we don’t put him out there too early and put him at risk at injuring another part of his body.
“It happened outside, he had a skateboarding incident which is not ideal but it wasn’t serious, and the scab got infected and left him in the situation that he’s in so it’s something we could’ve stopped.”
