Port Adelaide star, Kane Cornes, always frames up an honest opinion in the footy world
He came to the rescue at Sydney coach John Longmire who was dissed by Richmond coach Damien Hardwick following the lowest-scoring AFL game in 24 years.
Though Richmond recorded an eight-point win over the Swans, Hardwick stamped the match “horrendous” and accused Swans of poor performance.

Even Hardwick admitted he had been mean to Swans; hence he apologized to Longmire for the comment. While Cornes somehow feel that Richmond’s coach is getting ahead of himself after an unexpected favorable situation of the club from 2016.
“I’m not sure Damien Hardwick would’ve made those comments in 2016,”
“I’m not sure whether he has got ahead of himself and where he believes he stands in the game.
“Clearly he’s got a lot more respect than he did three years ago, but it never ends well when you start criticizing the opposition, their game style, and the coaching.”
Port Adelaide great Kane Cornes sang his praises for Sydney Swan. Despite the defeat, Cornes pointed out Swan’s tenacity over the misfortune with Richmond notable for walking home with awards during the last year. In the end, he suggested Hardwick fret about his own club rather than being critical on the opponents.
Let’s cut to the flashback where Kane Cornes slammed back at Adelaide Crows captain Taylor Walker on the Sunday Footy Show in 2017. When Taylor Walker pinned negativity out of the footy player, Cornes asked Taylor if he was eyeing for the media circuit at the end of his career. Cornes also argued that Taylor only focused on the unpromising details of players instead of fetching their perks.
“I think you’re angling for a media position at the end of your career, Tex. It’ll be reasonably boring if you’re all just positive and is it fair to say you don’t necessarily see the positive things that are said about you and your club, and you just focus on negative things which all players do when they’re playing?”
Walker replied that he only looked out for positivity-“pretty glass half full.” It’s not doubtful that Walker sounded pissed off. At the same time, Billy Brownless revealed Triple M’s Rush Hour about the moment Walker dubbed Cornes a “d***head” prior to an interview.
