SA:Husband of failed MP says joke staggering

Former Adelaide Crows AFL coach GRAHAM CORNES has told a South Australian court a joke
made on TV about his wife sleeping with a footballer has affected their marriage.

NICOLE CORNES .. a lawyer and failed Labor candidate .. is seeking damages against
Network Ten .. alleging comedian MICK MOLLOY defamed her its football show .. Before the
Game.

MOLLOY allegedly questioned her fidelity .. insinuating she'd slept with former AFL
player STUART DEW .. and Mr CORNES has told the SA Supreme Court today the comments aired
on the program in June 2008 were staggering.

Mr CORNES says he's also been subject to sledging on the football field as a result
of MOLLOY's comments .. and an on-air apology MOLLOY made in September 2008 hasn't lessened
the hurt.

The trial continues.
