Kornes really is a petty little man. Justifying not selecting him as AA captain because of his finals series is pure garbage, the AA team is based on H&A form and he led our team to 1st. Helped win big games at the end of the season to secure our top 4 spot. Was universally regarded as the best captain this season, except within the AA committee.

If he starred in the finals he wouldn’t have admitted to making a mistake

It's less the performance and more the context.

He decided to end 2024 spearheading a (failed) attempt to publicly humiliate a teammate for some unspecified reason, for which there could be zero tolerance.

The end of 2025 is him going missing on and off field during assorted crises.
What an absolute load. Worst post of the year.
 
Also had a go at Rachele for wearing a Thilthorpe beard to the game, like that somehow impacted the result (ignoring the fact that he came on at half time and was directly involved in 3 of our goals after half time).
Kane Cornes is that guy in every friendship circle who everyone says is a campaigner, don't know why they tolerate him.

He’s just an utter flog troll. He previously said he wasn’t a spokesperson for the committee when asked to defend it, now he’s all for it.

Shows how ****ed the media landscape is when he’s won awards for trolling.

Can he make a friendship circle with himself?
I have friends that know him through school and he’s an aloof as they come . He’s actually worse than he presents through media.

Fogarty has to go to full forward next year.

I'm not sure how keen I am on the "Fog to go full forward next year", though I do agree with getting Fog away from center half forward. His game is too inconsistent for the position, alongside that it really should be Thilthorpe's owing to how many weapons he has (and the positions history of being one that maximises star power).

This definitely comes from seeing how effective Tex was this year, but I'd like to see us go the Gunston route with Fog next year where we use him as a third tall. Just getting him away from the monster key defenders might be the ticket to unlocking more consistency from his output.

Directing more ball his way will help. As will shelving the forward movement strategy designed to reduce rebound. And it’s not just Fog, how many times do you see our smaller forwards hit up on a lead?
 
This isn’t a complaint, Dawson is 2 time AA and already multi B&F and for a bargain price. My question is that the Dawson that first moved into the midfield doesn’t seem to play with the same intensity these days.
This year was the first year Daws had without a Laird or Crouch feeding him. I don't think it's his intensity that is the issue. His stats are pretty similar to 2023 for contested possessions, ground/hard/loose ball gets, hitout gathers and tackles. What's noticeably fallen off from past years are his handball receives.
