Deeluded Podcast Interview: Kane Cornes

Good morning everyone!

This week on the Deeluded podcast, we celebrated our brilliant win over Port with an interview with Port-star turned media mogul, Kane Cornes. This interview is fascinating—we discuss Kane's polarising media persona, how Petracca compares to some of the greats that he tagged, and the techniques of his old coach, Mark Williams. Kane can come across a bit brash on the football shows, but we found him to be very thoughtful and reflective—keen to hear what others think.

    Cracking interview, very insightful.

    At the very end Kane says I love your story. Excuse the naivety but what's your story?

    Thanks Kiran. I hadn’t listened to your podcast before but I thought I’d have a listen. It’s become a bit of a little secret of mine recently, which I dare not mention on Demonland, that I’m becoming a Kane Cornes fan.

    It was interesting to hear him talk about going over the top on certain issues in the past - he said the “extra 10%” or the “bit of mayo”. My observation is that in his recent work in the media, he’s cut that aspect out of his work. Since then I think he’s shown that he’s able to analyse the game and give us some insight without the need to make headlines, and that actually makes him more interesting to listen to. I think at the core, he knows what he’s talking about, and as his experience in the media increases, it’s starting to shine.

    The observation on Gawn getting back to help out the defenders is a great example of the type of things I want smart commentators to point out to me. I watch mostly on TV so I don’t get that view, but even if I watched at the ground, I doubt I’d be observant enough to notice.

    Great stuff, thanks.

    Thanks Wrecker! Basically, Nita and I both studied law in Aus, moved to the US to become lawyers (and created Deeluded), and then quit our jobs and moved to Mexico City 18 months ago (just before the pandemic). Now working on some TV/podcast projects. All a bit random, really!

    Thanks Nasher! I completely agree—we've been overseas for the last few years, so never have any sense who's applying defensive pressure off-screen (which is probably why we've sometimes been a bit harsh on players like Neal-Bullen). Great to get those kinds of insights. (Love "On the Couch" for that reason).

    All of our journo friends tell us that Kane is one of the hardest working commentators in the game. He's great at making the non-obvious call, which is a good antidote to the anodyne commentary from some other past players.

    Great episode guys.

    I think a lot of people dislike Cornes for the sake of it or perhaps because he was so good as a negating player.

    He's not your typical commentator who is there to feather his own nest, he's working on becoming better and he's very astute with the modern game. I'd recommend everyone have a listen

    Interesting how TV watching differs from ‘at ground’. Watching Nibbler in the flesh as it were, it’s just staggering how much running he does. This work rate makes him essentially un-baggable for mine. Great podcast Kiran, and truly dedicated coming from Mexico!

    I thought he was saying he puts the extra 10% or mayo on when he commentates a Saturday night game and then has to report on in the following morning on The Sunday Footy show and doesn't want to just say the same thing (hello Dermie)

    I really enjoy Kane Cornes role in the media. He's not afraid to say his piece and while he can be deliberately brash and polarising he has a job to do. Has some good insights and comes across as genuinely loving the game which can only be a good thing.

    Perhaps we can get you guys on 360 or OtC. You ask better questions than the suck-ups on the teev.

    Great listening, I've never had a problem with Kane, he's always called it as it is and I'd rather hear the truth than someone just trying to appease.

    • 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.
