The former Channel 9 boss has been sitting back and enjoying the so-called “ media war ” that has erupted between sections of the footy media this month.
After spotting Cornes in an Adelaide gym during the AFL’s gather round, Darcy also said Cornes looked “alone and sad and relatively friendless in a football sense”.“I sat next to Luke Darcy for 10 years, three hours every morning, and as you know doing breakfast radio, when you turn up at 5am every morning, you get to know people pretty well,” McGuire said.The Melbourne media mogul then tried to “get inside the mind” of Darcy.
“Forever Seven have been captain nice guy. Nine’s had a bit of an edge,” he said before referencing the situation that unfolded when Channel 9, with McGuire’s support, took the AFL TV broadcast rights from Channel 7 in a $500m deal in 2001.“When we took over AFL footy on Nine from Seven, the first thing I did was say, ‘No more Dipper on the boundary’. No more Neil Kerley,” he said.
“It was one of the nastiest and more mean spirited attacks I’ve witnessed between footy media — and that’s on Luke, not Kane.
