North Melbourne president Sonja Hood says the club hasn't "made amends" with media personality and former Port Adelaide player Kane Cornes, but remained adamant its relationship with Channel 7ย is "great".
After Cornes made direct comments toward multiple Kangaroos players, the Arden Street side opted to "ban" the 300-gamer from the rooms, flagging that he "crossed the line".
"I wouldn't say that we made amends," Hood said onย 3AW.
"I'd say we had a really open conversation about our decision to ban Kane from the rooms.
"We made a decision to ban Kane from the rooms for Thursday night football in a week that was highly emotionally charged, thanks to his commentary and the reactions of our players.
"I think that was a simple case of not wanting him in our workplace."
Hood,ย following their catch-up with the host broadcaster, discussed where North Melbourne stands with Cornes ahead of the Centenary match on Thursday night in Round 17 against the Western Bulldogs.
"The club needs to sit down and work out what we do in this particular instance," Hood added.
"We don't have a vendetta, or a life ban, or a particular problem, but in that week and in that moment it was an important decision.
"From time to time, it is really important to remind people where that line is. Kane crossed the line. We dealt with it, we pointed it out, and we made our point for that week. It's done.
"If they (the players and coaches) make a case that there is a reason for it to continue, then we would discuss that."
The Kangaroos travel to Western Australia for the next fortnight after selling two home games: One in Bunbury against West Coast, and one at Optus Stadium against Fremantle.
