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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
