Tony Jones’ shock of Axing by Wimbledon Fuels Channel Nine vs Channel Seven Footy Show War

Polarizing Footy commentator Kane Cornes has received a ‘smart ass’ after he wondered why Tony Jones was assumed from the coverage of Channel Nine’s Wimbledon.

The free air network sent Todd Woodbridge, Jelena Dokic, Alicia Molik and Sam McClure to London-But Jones will view the action of the All England Club in Melbourne.

Cornes asked why Nine’s Sunday Footy Show did not tackle the elephant in the room last weekend – and after the infamous comments from Jones about Novak Djokovic on the Australian Open in January it generated worldwide headlines.

“What about my husband, TJ. He doesn’t go to Wimbledon, “Cornes said on Sen on Monday morning.

‘TJ has been going on for years and he thinks it is great and is doing very well, nobody actually does better.

“It is open because of the incident at the Australian, I believe … that’s not what they say (nine) (though). Schep McClure goes, he has the performance.

The free air network pointed to ‘optimizing sources’ in London as the reason for the decision, but the always pronounced cornes (depicted) did not have it

‘But that is not really what I am interested in. It is the fact that it was not mentioned on the Sunday Footy Show. ‘

Journalist Damien Barrett responded to Cornes who stirred the pot on the Podcast The Sounding Board.

“TJ clearly wanted to go to Wimbledon,” he said.

‘We are (sometimes) together … but there was no reason to (this time).

“You could come and go from the top,” Oh, TJ, you’re not going to Wimbledon.

‘(But) Where does that go for two hours? And what advantage is that for a Footy Show public that really wants to know why games were won and lost in a weekend?

‘So kane is just kane … hE was a smart A ** e. ‘

It is after Cornes sensational covered to channel seven last year from nine.

And on Thursday evening there will be a lot of eyes on Cornes when the kangaroos will take on the bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.

North Melbourne has refused to hold interviews with Cornes after he had felt the Premiership winner that he had bullied Harry Shezel and Captain Jy Simpkin about their input on the field in Noord-Melbourne duo.

When it comes to the West -Bulldogs, the tension is clear between fiery coach Luke Beveridge and Cornes.
