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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
