I didn't want to tarnish Kozzy Pickett Day yesterday with this tripe.

Cornes clearly says incorrect and inflammatory nonsense so people react and talk about him. 

i’m amazed people fall for it

I enjoy it and it really doesn't matter. It's not a bad top 5. I love that we have so much quality these days we can be shirty about it though.

Cornes wouldn’t make my top 5 list of AFL clickbait media personalities.

I get Cornes is divisive but what's wrong with the list? Hard to argue with the top 4. Dangerfield should be replaced by Clarry. 

He’s a bit of a harmless narcissist - revels in  the controversial-subjective, knowing it will get under everyone’s skin but also knowing he can’t be wrong.

Not entirely sure that the issue is with this list. His opinion.

People want to be triggered for the sake of being triggered. 

Certainly triggered Pies fans. Where's little Nicky they keep saying.

Yawn. Cornes is bandwagon stuff for the short-term memory. He really lacks depth; rather, he looks for sensationalism placing it under wraps in order to look analytical. Within days, his opinions fragment, dissolve, rot - at least that provides him with a chance or two at finding another few bucks from another few 'non-critical' abstractions. 

I’m more inclined to agree with Clarko’s assessment that we have 8-10 All Australians at the moment

You lost me at Kane Cornes

Probably lost most ppl.

Though Kozzie says Hi  

I’ve heard those top three a bit recently. Funny, I remember in a particular game at the end of 2021 when halfway through the third quarter, the commentators were raving about Bontempelli. Oliver went on to him, Bontempelli was hardly seen again, and Melbourne dominated. Doesn’t that say something about the respective quality of the two players? It was, after all, a reasonably important game. 

Toby should be number 1

Riley Beveridge had the same top 4 on his show over the weekend. 

I dont mind his list if you define it as - Which players can produce a burst/ quarter of elite footy to turn or win a game.  You always have to keep them covered.

For the best footballers see coaches votes.

Dangerfield?

Yeah, OK Kane.

I think it's a good list. 

Danger might be a reach based on 3 good games though. 

wouldn't have greene and dangerfield in top 5

It's actually not a bad list, should just be renamed to 'Top 5 players that caught my attention this week'

You said it.

Talk about clickbait.

Kane's mastered the process and its now pretty easy to identify. 

Talk to the hand Kane.

can't believe he didn't put his beloved jason horne-francis in there

Champion team > Team of champions 

System and culture > individual performances 

SEN (read Collingwood's surrogate broadcaster) and it's hosts are a very hard listen now and have been ever since Hutchy took over.

Super cringeworthy especially Radar and, aside from Brenton Sanderson's analysis on a Thurs, generally a very very boring lot that just talk AFL speak & pander to the Collingwood nuffies.

Sando's session is available via the Thurs Whately podcast and is the only piece i bother listening too.

‘Top 5 Players’ makes the criteria very unclear, but if he’s saying the current top performing or in-form players, then the only one I’d strongly disagree with is Dangerfield.

Agree Daz.
