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.

You'll get an opinion out of him, but I suspect it's not always his honest opinion.  It's an opinion he knows will be click-bait and create the most attention.

    Didn't take him long to get over us being 'pre-season champions' due to the documentary we've put together.

    He flip-flops more than a politician does.

    For an SEN website story there's not nearly enough wacky predictions. You're supposed to say Gold Coast will finish fifth and Collingwood 14th to make sure everyone furiously clicks through and Hutchy gets the ad revenue. Back to Clickbait College for Kane.

    I agree with him about Brisbane, I predict they will have a tough year. No hodge, a young team will struggle with expectations.

    I always think the Cats will struggle but they finished top last year so who knows.

    Sydney have zero chance of top 8, not sure where he is coming from on this one.

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

    The home ground advantage to Geelong is overrated.

    They've had a very good team over the last decade and that coincides with their winning record.

    No surprise there.

    They also didn't play the bigger clubs there.

    ...and the talk of them not winning finals at the 'G' is also an overreaction by the experts.

    They've been good enough to get into finals but have been on a slow decline for a while now.

    It never hurt their premiership teams, they won anywhere.

    Now with Geelong in decline Kardinia Park will no longer be a bogey ground for opposition.

    I hope you're right,

    It just seems that every time we play down there it's a complete disaster.

    We either lose by 80 + points, or get knocked off after the siren.

    Look away Dees fans Kane Cornes has tipped us to make the 8. 

    ? Kane Cornes has made his top eight predictions and premiership tip for the 2020 season! ?

    FULL PREDICTIONS

    1. West Coast

    2. GWS

    3. Richmond

    4. Western Bulldogs

    5. Melbourne

    6. Collingwood

    7. Port Adelaide

    8. Sydney

    interestingly this is in line with historical trends with around 3 changes to the Final 8 each season. Based on his commentary and effusive praise of Melb this morning I think he is clearly  Believer.

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

     

    Exactly right! Couldn’t have said it better.

    Geelong, great home & away team, poor finals team.

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

    I call him Splinters. Always sitting on the fence and predicting a no change to the 8 regardless of historical trends is an example. 

    Cornes has admitted he was wrong on a number of occasions and is aggressively opinionated which is more than most in the media. Doesn't' see himself as part of the club like Dal Santo.

    I see Kane is still stealing oxygen from everyday Australian's. Didn't he say we were getting ahead of ourselves a couple of weeks ago?

    Over a greater period of that time we were also the worst team in the comp.

    Things will change 'Bring-Back', have some faith mate.

    It's not just you 'Nelo'.

    I put him with the vacuous Cooney.

    You could sit and listen to both them for hours on end if you had time to waste and absolutely add nothing to your footy knowledge.

    I choose to turn both off.

    Must be buying the beers when Hutchy is around, can't think of how else they get a gig...

    Normally I get a headache reading anything Kane says but I like that he shares my views on the so-called "leadership groups".

    They are complete rubbish. Real leaders lead without being told they are a leader. No leadership group means that at any given point, on any given day, anyone can be the leader we need. I love it.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
