Inside North’s Kane Cornes ban: Why the ‘Sheezey Street’ jibe was the last straw
- Kane Cornes publicly criticized North Melbourne players Harry Sheezel and Jy Simpkin on Monday night via his Instagram account, leading to a club-imposed media ban on him announced Wednesday.
- Cornes accused Sheezel of stat-padding by accumulating possessions without meaningful impact and labeled his style as ‘Sheezey Street,’ while also criticizing Simpkin’s usage and positioning.
- North Melbourne, led by football boss Todd Viney, condemned Cornes’ comments as personal, vindictive, and bullying behavior, referencing over two and a half years of similar attacks and refusing Cornes access to club media activities.
- Sheezel, a 20-year-old rising star with 51 games who finished fourth in disposals but 17th in score involvements, said Cornes ‘overstepped the boundary’ though acknowledged some criticism, while commentators like Dale Thomas and Nick Riewoldt defended the player.
- The ban highlights tensions between media critique and club protection of players, with North Melbourne open to respectful dialogue with other media but withholding engagement with Cornes until his commentary becomes more considerate.
