Graham Cornes says it was \u201cungentlemanly\u201d for Mark Robinson to write an article taking aim at Richmond captain Katie Brennan.<\/h3>\n

Brennan was a \u201cposter girl\u201d in the early days of AFLW but now \u201cher reputation does not match her performance\u201d, Robbo wrote in the Herald Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cornesy has told the FIVEAA sports show:<\/p>\n

\u201cMark Robinson has written a really scathing article about her form and about the way she carried on when she tried to bump an injured player who came back on. Now the question is being asked: should the AFLW players who are semi-professional, should they be subjected to the same sort of criticism as the AFL players?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was too harsh. I didn\u2019t feel comfortable. It was almost ungentlemanly to me. I know that\u2019s the wrong attitude and maybe the girls will be insulted by that but it seemed an ungentlemanly thing to do because it was very harsh criticism\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s ways of criticising without being as personal as he was. I thought he was too personal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile FIVEAA sports show host Stephen Rowe didn\u2019t see a problem: \u201cIt was harsh but it was fair and it was right. They\u2019re on the big dancefloor, Stud, and they want it.\u201d<\/p>\n
