[Demonland 65,437]

Don't despair. He predicted we'd win the premiership in 2019.

Hmm. I genuinely wondered so put some thought in.  Only rationale I can see for it is a belief that the whole group of young 'ok-ish' or simply not yet ready players will mature into reasonable quality.  Think Marchbank, Weitering as tall defenders, McKay and Curnow as tall forwards, Petrevski-Seton, Dow, Stocker, O'Brien fleshing out the midfield.

Most of them are well below what might realistically be expected of them in the near future.  Right now that lump of so-so midfielders is very much plodding along with low posessions and not much impact.

But that's the only basis I can see for believing in their near-term future. From any other angle they look more like Richmond 2006 than Richmond 2016.

As for our rating - clearly Cornes has just done an average of our current and previous seasons, because realistically bleep knows what our real form line is for 2020.

I think there are some great people in the media who can provide some great insight and content but Kane isn't one of them, hard to take too much of what he says seriously.

[Demon Disciple 11,020]

I didn't know Kane could read an analogue clock!

[Pates 9,537]

Hard to take anything this guy says seriously, very reactionary in his opinions rather than looking at trends and analysing teams. 

[Mazer Rackham 14,969]

All well and good, but what does the Premiership Microwave Oven have to say? Not to mention the Premiership FM Radio?

[Pennant St Dee 11,324]

Kane did tip us to win the flag in 2018, hence why he may have us ahead of the Blues

[Return to Glory 7,730]

Kane Cornes' musings have always been incredibly, vitally important to me.

Did you allow for daylight saving?

The clock is brought forward for daylight saving in the off season so we miss out on that. When it goes back to regular time in early April it sets our premiership clock back and adds another couple of seasons. Best to ignore daylight saving.

The premiership clock made famous by Malthouse is outdated like any other single use clock.

 

[nosoupforme 3,085]

I believe in what Kane says about our chances  in 2020 like a hole in the head.

There was always, l thought that he lacked something between the ear.s  No censored brain.

Well Kane good luck with your next prediction. I won't be reading it.

He’s half an hour behind in Adelaide so can’t believe he has Suns as flag favourites for next year!

Incorrect. He IS half an hour behind but being Adelaide , the year is 1957

Buggar. There is no frickin cure. GLA:d only makes it worse, acupuncture does sweet niente minus a swear word, Panadol Osteo poisons your liver and kidneys, anti inflammatories, I.E. Anthrax tablets  ruin everything and minimise your capacity to self medicate with good plonks, it makes you swear alot and the missus always believes nothing else but that you're swearing at her, the dog cringes and hates it when you take her for a walk because you're always yelling, SLOWLY, GENTLE, I'M AN ALTE KACKA....

doesn't cannabis oil help?

[picket fence 15,241]

Between bouts of Gout and worse.. Psuedo Gout the system takes a beating from time to time!

[Superunknown 3,331]

There’s nothing preventing a team being stuck in a Range for decades so the clock is pretty pointless over time
