Opinion Kane Cornes media career thread

[Lefti93]

When did any of that happen?

eh?

 

[PowerLil]

This is what jealousy and the feeling of never belonging looks like. It's exactly the same with Hinkley.

 

[Willsy10]

it's absolutely baffling that you could play 300 games for a club but still not show any respect for it.

Called out what the entire Ken era was - avoiding accountability and expectation at all costs.

We all hope that Josh is the opposite of that approach and, from what we've seen so far, it appears so.

That wave of players coloured/influenced by old SANFL allegiances is pretty much in the rear view mirror thank god, I feel like guys like Francou, R. James & Cornes' etc. had to run their own narrative to make it acceptable to play for the 'devil'.

I understand what Kane's paid to do, and he does pretty good job at it but their does seem to be a gloves off approach to Port now and he is going out of his way to nitpick the club. Taking issue with how we take pride in our history is probably his worst ever take, and disrespectful in my opinion. Probably the most annoying thing he has ever said, i hate that he has finally said something that's triggered me.

The timing of his increased Port criticism, is clearly no coincidence with his beloved Hinkley and Bro getting the arse. But he seems to be more offended about it than Chad and Ken themselves. Maybe chad has more resentment internally but he hasn't shown it publicly, he has been very respectful towards the club and does seem to have much more love and passion for it than Kane.

I suspect like Rucci most of Kane's criticism is around the his pride and fear that he may be proven wrong if Carr is an instant success.

Loved that part. Wish people had called it out while Ken was here

 

[Grave Danger]

Seriously, I know it's rage clickbait, but he is turning into his old man. Of course he thinks he can speak for all young footballers as if they have no sense of history.

Of course their love for some old dude is a given.

"Thank Kane, now I'm gonna have to come up with something else for this week's Mail, you prick."

 

[Sheeds]

Port Adelaide has rightfully always been proud of their history. Soaking that in when you go to Alberton is still a great thrill. Coaching, game plan, drafting/recruiting, player development, fitness etc I think probably plays a more key role in achieving success than photos displayed on a wall as players walk into the training facility.

Is it only now that Kane thinks this is a major problem? Was it an issue when he played given he played in a Flag? Mark Williams loved to embrace our history as Senior Coach.

If Kane was genuinely concerned it is "holding the club back" I am surprised he predicted Port Adelaide to win a flag or make a GF on multiple occasions in his media roles.

This includes the first season after he retired.

If you aren't embracing the history of a club you are recruited to (or brought along to by parents, siblings etc.), than why would you stay at any club, either as a player or a supporter? History is what makes clubs. Despite the AFL's best efforts, people don't rock up round 1, with no connection to what's happened previously and decide who to follow.

The smart clubs embrace their history, not as a millstone, as Kane thinks, but as a foundation, an example to build upon. An ethos to live and an example to try and emulate. From the time we've entered the AFL our strongest successes have come from embracing our history, our nadir's from running away from it (Southern Power, than Hinkleyfication). I'm hoping we'll now also get more past players back at the club, something that dropped off under Hinkley.

That Carr, Rutten and co. (minus an obviously bemused/confused Bicho) have again embraced what Port WAS, to try and turn it again into what Port IS, and getting articles like this against it, tells you everything about Kane. That he may have played for Port, even been an important part of a premiership for Port, but he never understood Port and never will.

R. James

Poor fella literally didn’t understand what the word “heritage” means.

Even the most ardent Bay 13-dwelling ‘Port Power not Port Adelaide’ potato objectively has to concede that the Magpies era is the AFL club’s heritage, for without it, the Power wouldn’t exist.

In a mindnumbingly stupid era of clueless and ignorant takes — which the current CEO poured petrol on because ‘sTrAtEgY’ or something — Rog took the gold.

 

[Rowd072]

I have often defended Kane in the past when people have a crack but I absolutely despise him for this opinion.

I will no longer defend him. Typical Glenelg comment. Glenelg are Bunch of losers who hate that Port Adelaide beat up on them for decades.

I'm probably stating the obvious but I think that the only way the Cornes clan were able to cope with Chad and Kane playing for Port was to disassociate our AFL team from our SANFL origins. Chad will turn on us next year when he joins SEN

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Kane is like Hanrahan - no matter what the situation is - We'll all be rooned.

Do they still teach that at schools these days?

 

[PAFC66]

Where was this talk when Ken was there? ****ing parasite

 

[PAFC66]

Says more about us a little. How did we let this loser get to 300 games.. he was useless in the last 5 years +?

 

[SteppingTiger]

Goes to show where the industry (afl media) is at, if a 1min snippet of the coach mentioning past premierships once, in the context that they all started from somewhere, creates such a long winded article.

Imagine if the whole speech was watched, there would be a book release coming up

 

[Powerade 08]

eh?

Well its been covered so many times before that I don't really want to go into it, but if Kane got the best out of himself, it was on the stat sheet only. and a winner on the field?

He might have had those qualities early on, but by the end of his career he was the last person you'd want mentoring another player. Dont need to take the media stuff into account

 

[afl2004]

If i wanted to listen to an arse hole i would fart

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Hanrahan and fake positivity - more lets get ready to kick Carr.

 

[Willsy10]

100% that is fake positivity. As soon as we lose one game he is ready to pounce.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Hanrahan and fake positivity - more lets get ready to kick Carr.

Do he thinks we should start 5-0 and we should finish bottom 4.

Sounds like a very Ken Hinkley season.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

We could lose by a point to Brisbane at the GABBA and Kornes will call for Carr to be sacked for it.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

aaaaand off come the shirts
