Kane Cornes' 2020 Top 8 Predictions

Neither Brisbane or Geelong to make the 8? He's delusional.

Can't see Sydney making it.

Also could see Geelong drop out this year, ageing stars at the end & the loss of Kelly...

...and unconvinced by Port.

I thought everyone hated Kane Cornes cos he always bags us and doesnt rate us?

17th to 5th would be an amazing turnaround

it's actually the opposite if you listen to Kane he does back us he thinks in 2018 we should have won the premiership

Putting the Dees aside for a second, I like that he's got the guts (unlike Dal Santo who said the 8 wouldn't change) to declare three changes to the final 8 - and there will be three changes to the 8 if you look at prior years.

One of West Coast, Richmond, Collingwood, GWS or Brisbane will miss finals this year. Lock it in.

Can’t see that happening but ill take it. 

I can see it happening just based on the following games played last season by key players -

Jetta 7
May 8
Lever 8
Melksham 12
T Mac 15

Amazing that our 3 gun backmen played a combined 23 games.  Out two most important forwards missed large chunks of the season.    
 

We are in prime position to rise up and get back into the finals....   god I hope it happens, 2018 was so much fun.  Its all about finals.  Nothing beats playing in September.

Kelly out is a huge loss for Geelong. With Selwood declining, I have them dropping out. Sydney will finish bottom 8. 

I have to admit I love how Kane goes about it. Yes he can be a pain in the [censored] but he cops it right back. Love him or hate him, at least you will get an honest opinion from him.

Not sure if it’s just me but I find Dal Santo adds nothing to my footy knowledge and is boring as bat poo.

Only if clubs start learning how to beat them down at GMHBA stadium.

Apparently it’s also been a “very, very good week for us” according to ol Kane - https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/02/27/cornes-hails-melbournes-exceptionally-good-week/

He’s the equivalent of a shock jock at best, but I found it interesting him saying leadership groups are overrated. It’s not often you hear that coming from someone who has been inside the inner circle at an AFL club.

I was confident we'd make the top 8 until I read the heading on this thread.  Damn him!

He has either:

1) Not watched a single episode of ‘To hell and back’.

2) Refuses to acknowledge that he jumped the gun with his criticism and has a problem with the title, not the content.

 

Weirdly though, Cornes in his media role has consistently rated the Dees- I think we were his premiership tip last year and he was all over us in 2018.

Leadership groups are useless if they're not doing it on the field.

Not just you. Tries so hard to sound intelligent but just come off as over-analyzing and petty.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
