Kane isn't important enough to be a villain & unless you lived in a bubble he wasn't rated that highly by a fair number of the supporter base while he was still playing long before media street.

Gray will go on a flank or a pocket
At our current rate we might still have less than 5 flags by year 2100, dont discount what rate flags have in these discussions
Yeah, but you'll have to put up with Hinkley's reanimated corpse coaching for its 88th straight year without a GF appearance on the back of being signed up for another 5 years by Koch's head in a jar.

That will make me 120.... You might have to put my vote in for me...Ok Jimmy, I'll simplify it for you. If Kane was a more likeable character say like Robbie or Westy then his on-field achievements would be more respected.
A criticism I've heard of Boak is that he hasn’t played in a premiership and crumbles in the big moments of finals. Kane played well in a premiership.

You don't have to simplify anything to me the point you are making is irrelevant, he wasn't highly rated by everyone (including a coach that tried to bugger him off) well before his media persona was a thing.
*What fukcing world have you been living in if you haven't heard Westhoff criticism?

I think... Everyone, really underrates how good a tagger he was. He was the best. The best ever I reckon. Now you may not rate tagging, fair enough. But he was the best. And he was also good at accumulating himself. Yeah he done nothing with it but he also spent majority of his career playing a directionless gameplan when it came to ball movement.

Behind Ling imo although Kane got more of the footy himself
If two players are close at all the edge goes to the bloke who contributed to winning a premiership. That's the only thing that actually matters to the club.
Whether its fair or not, all of our current playing group have spent their entire careers without any team success (except Lycett & Rioli who did it at another club). If they want to be considered in the all time greats lists, they need to win a flag or three.

Because he is far more biased towards Ken than he is biased towards Port, and will throw anybody under the bus to protect Ken, including members, fans, players and even heroes like Kingsley and Primus.
Even at 0-5 last year he was rolling out the excuses. If you're defending a bloke that isn't bringing success to Port, and making excuses to avoid accountability that isn't helping the club.
I am not a fan as Kane as a media personality but he was a very good player and very unlucky not to ge the Norm Smith in 2004.

As I've posted previously in this thread a lot of people only remember the second half of Kane's career when he was little more than a selfish stats padder.
The saying "you're only as good as your last game" is a load of bollocks but in Kane's case it is the perception in a lot of people's minds.
For the record IMHO he is a sh!t stain.

Kane was good at one thing, and he excelled at it because of his professionalism and determination. He kept himself in the best physical condition possible for that role. He never resorted to some of the more questionable tactics of some others and his only report of his career was thanks to an academy award act from Sam Mitchell. I'm not a big fan of Kane, but credit where it's due.
Out of all the 300 gamers in the AFL, Kane is one of them.

Kane played 300 games for Port Power and changed his social media handle to "Glenelg Player" when things didn't go his way.
Played an amazing role in our premiership and forged an enviable career through sheer hard work and determination.
The thing about Kane though is that he played for himself over playing for the club. The manner in which he managed his final season, a season we were theoretically in contention for, is a testament to this.
I can understand why some supporters might not rate his achievement.
Having sad all that, I don't mind him in the media.

Kane was enabled by the club in 2015.
'Hey I've got a chance to start a new career and it can't wait'
'Ok Kane well it's in our best interests that you step away from the club asap so we can replace you on the list'
'Ok I understand'
'lol jks do whatever you please we'll give ya games if you want mate'
Both parties to blame for that one.

The club was probably thinking he'd play out the season, yeah?

Great tagger , good footballer but to have him in the top 25 port players of all time is disgraceful and an insult to our club greats
Absolutely not. We were one kick off a grand final in 2014.
