Walked out of a PA best and fairest awards night because he didnt win it (and he is on record as admitting that he did).
That tells you all you need to know about him.

i get that. But right now he’s just coming across as a massive ****head and hypocrite. You can make big statements without being a tosser about it. Just comes across as a narcissist Bully

He has probably the shortest memory when it comes to remembering anything he says. For example, with Dimma at the moment. Has said that he has stuffed up and should do what Clarko did and retire/trade veterans, yet still till today critics Clarko for recruiting Tom Mitchell and Omeara, and buggering up Hawthorns list and culture. He literally will do it tonight within 2 segments on Footy Classified.

The rise of loud and opinionated AFL media is reflective of a wider malaise | Jonathan Horn
Football voices led by the likes of Kane Cornes are symptomatic of a landscape where all that matters are clicks, engagement and outrage
Fantastic read this

Kornes is the Lydia Thorpe of the AFL media.
For anyone interested in the whole exchange between Cornes and King this morning here it is.
Kane needs to start digging up
That's a bit harsh on Lydia. I doubt she would walk away from a chance to hang around with fireman

Cornes just admitted on radio that he's just a media troll

In view of what she said to those guys on the weekend, I think the Fireman would have to have a big hose.......so to speak....

Kingy took him to absolute town. Kane came across as he’s got the maturity of a five year old

I don't agree with many things he says, but I do admire how he literally does not give one **** what people think about him.

It's the blatant hypocrisy that I cannot stand.
Spent 2 years torching David Teague and Leon Cameron - yet mentions little about Hinkley and Port underachieving because Hinkley saved his career.
Has gotten into younger players who he assesses as lazy yet lets JHF off 'as this is what young guys do'. He's never afforded any other young player the amount of latitude that he has with JHF.
He is hopelessly conflicted when it comes to Hinkley and JHF.
Just another media person who thinks the game is all about them.

Given Kane’s whole bit is to have beefs with players and whole clubs for clicks and is a self declared media troll
Why is he on the all Australian committee where he has to help assemble the best team of the year?
Many of which players he would have had a blue with or play for clubs he’s been actively needling.

If only simpletons didn't the bait.

Cornes reports with no conscience or ethics.
Goes hard after players. Shifts in if he sees a pile on.
Not just a flog. A campaigner.

He's the only "voice of reason" in 2023.
Might be part contrariness, but the media has become very quick to create stories, and Kane is the only one to say "what if that's not the case"

Noooo you don’t understand - it’s groundbreaking and amazing because he’s copying the worst of American sports media and bringing it to Australia
