Triggered? Me! How dare you?!

Don't know why there's argument. Cornes will have moved on to some other self-opinionated clickbait by tomorrow.

I just see Kane Cornes as the Andrew Bolt of the football world. Need I say any more?

All except Kim Jong Un dear leader of Nth Korea. He apparently never defecates, bowls a perfect 300 and hits 52 on a round of golf.

excellent correction

Cornes is now concentrating on calling Norff and Eagles fat unfit footballers. That should keep him busy for rest of the season.

I am excited to hear his take on Freo too.

He did tell me last week that Grundy is better than Jackson, which is somewhat a revolutionary opinion.

What really? Don't tell me he has blamed Dan for the booing JHF?

I love the way Clarry is so underrated by the media

Just ask the coaches who’s the best player in the last couple of years

It's a good list (not) - however I cannot understand how he cannot fit Max, Trackta, Carry, Gus and Chandla into the top five.

Bontenpelli at No.2, interesting. 

On a related note, if I recall correctly BT's famous line in the 2021 GF after kicking that 3rd quarter goal along the lines that if "the Bulldogs go on to win, he will be remembered as on of the greatest Dogs of all time" following which 'The Bont' was bearly sighted and we all know the rest of the story.

Hopefully Kane's player ratings can have a similar kiss of death influence on those he's named?

Interesting that he's not included every other Ch 7 comentators favorite for the Brownlow of Daicos.  Guess that will get some more clicks and chatter for going against the grain.  On the general Kane strategy, I'm not sure if any have read the below published  reciently in The Guardian, but I think it generally hits the nail on the head:

Kane Cornes Top 5 Clickbait. 

I haven’t been listening to SEN lately and therefore I’m not sure as to the basis of Cornes’ list. If it’s his best five from Round 7 then it has some merit. If it’s the best five of 2023 then he’s more than a little off the mark.

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. 

This.  Dangerfield was useless first couple of rounds.

Absolutely useless if he wasnt Dangerfield he would have been axed if Scott had any guts

Dan would have got someone else to boo for him and then denied any knowledge of asking them.

This man is a jerk, and 40 good posters have fallen into his trap. Why are we giving anything he says oxygen?

I’d like to propose that nothing the jerk says should be referenced on DL. If people didn’t react to the [censored] he writes, then maybe he will get back to being a half decent football analyst. Let’s please treat him like HWCBN (if that’s the correct abbreviation), and ignore him. His treatment of Kossie and comments about Jackson were the last straw for me.

WOW - that guy is SO on the mark. I wonder why no one else has picked up on it and written about it with such accuracy before (or maybe they have, and I just haven't seen it).

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. 

I am not knocking Oliver, but the Bont is ALSO "very special". i think the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Dangerfield did not have much impact in the first couple of games ala Curnow. But then Cornes cannot remember past something that happened 3 weeks ago ( way beyond his recogisence limit "

Petracca's in the top 5 players in the coaches awards but what they would they know over Kane?

Agree with you in reference to his treatment about Kozzie but I thought his comments about Jackson were spot on.

Essentially called LJ a poor key forward and that's exactly what he is. 

Anyone who doesn’t have Oliver in the top 5 players in the game is not actually watching football. 

Further to above, wholeheartedly agree.  

In the Melb Commentary they all seem to wrap Oliver but contradict the whole process by not following through, which, by the way, i'm not displeased about.
