Never let the facts get in the way of a targeted vendetta!! Great video! I hope those that work with Cornes see this and use some of this material to call him out.
Just incredible the amount of research and effort you’ve done to produce this expose. The constant vitriol from Cornes towards Luke is unrelenting and defamatory. I often feel for Luke and his family, where in his role as senior Coach is really not in a position to publicly defend himself without being further vilified by these cronies. You touch on the time where Cornes started his vitriol at Luke, that is after Luke came to the defence of Adam Treloar for Cornes personal swipe at Ads dummy spit, with Luke saying that he wonders how these journalists wives can sleep next to such types. I also recall Cornes very public calling out of Will Minson for his personal onfield sledge of him against his son. No doubt an area that Will should not have gone near. I do wonder if this episode of bringing his wife, and previously his son, into the frame may have influenced his thoughts on our Club. Anyway, many thanks for the compilation. I watched from start to finish, and as you say at the end, the time investment is no more than listening to one episode of Classified, or half of a The Footy Show episode. Would love to watch a version that similarly critiques one of the other ‘bottom feeders’ in Barrett.
Really appreciate that...I'm just so sick of the content us footy fans get, so decided I'd make my own. Hopefully I can produce some more stuff that will interest you. Cheers!
That doesnt explain Cornes's farcical shielding of Port and Hinkley as well as his equally vitriolic attacks on Carlton. He is always silent on Sydney - never upset the official AFL House Team. We wouldn't want Horse to get upset and demand a Royal Commission and maybe even get the United Nations involved. There are over 600 dedicated professional Sporting Journalists in Australia (ie for all sports) yet only 2 or 3 Journalists for Science and a handful for politics. Maybe a few dozen for Finance. Australia certainly has a strange set of priorities.
Cornes calls himself a journalist, nobody else does. He likes to think of himself as a shock jock. I agree that every week his bias is obvious and flagrant.
This is excellent mate. As a WCE fan who's been sick of his knee jerk analysis on the likes of Simmo, Gov & Yeo, now to turn around and try act he's their biggest supporter and loves Harley Reid, it sickens me.
Wow! I didn't realize he was that biased against other teams as well. Knowing this i'll keep a closer eye on how he reports on the Eagles in future...Appreciate the support
You notice a lot of Reid's highlights are him taking cheap shots pushing players over behind the play? Ball not in play, he pushes a player over off the ball, and the whole next week Barra going on about how staunch Reid is....

It's one thing to play favourites with your old club, you expect it from ex-player media figures. But running these vindictive vendettas against anyone who pushes back against his ego is pathetic. "If you're going to fail, fail at something noble" - Bevo couldn't have said it better.
And unfortunately Cornes now gets to run his mouth week after week, month after month, year after year...whilst Bevo just has to sit there and cop it. And then they sit and wonder why Beveridge doesn't do media...Outside of a few, the entire footy media is a cesspool of backslappers totally content in their own echo chambers. Us fans deserve better...
@@aflinsight2023 The media always goes after people who dont play the game or give them access. Bevo has had issues with several journalists from different media outlets like Channel 7, channel 9, and newspaper journos. If you dont play the media game they come after you.

A masterpiece! No credibility from Cornes and really not doing any favours for his old side in keeping Kenny’s reputation untouchable. I often am embarrassed at the lack of respect shown to Luke and his achievements with a mediocre side early on, but also having to constantly live up to those achievements.

As the video states, margins are razor thin, and with a few things not going your way (as Cornes points out in defence of Kenny at the end), can have a massive difference in results, expectation and ultimate coaching reputation.
Thank you for making such an interesting and insightful video about this topic! It was very interesting to watch it as a Bulldogs fan, and nice to see someone defending Bevo for once. I've always hated Kane Cornes, and this video has reinforced that even more. I feel bad for AFL coaches, because the journalists such as Cornes can just criticize them all they want, and the coaches just have to sit there and keep quiet to not lose their job. Thank you again for the effort and research put into this!

The biggest problem with Kane Cornes is that he cant handle that people don't agree with him. He is also a corporate shill that pushes advertisers and money interests in the game, i.e. later time slot for Grand Finals and the round robin idea for the last few rounds position 10-6. Wouldn't piss on him if was on fire.
The big 3 Victorian clubs should include Richmond as the 4. These 4 clubs built their supporter base in the 1970s, which gave them the advantage in years to come.
I agree with basically all of this except for the doggies lacking in small forwards. That’s clearly intentional, considering you have Marra, Darcy, and Naughton (and I guess Lobb who's a better than average depth forward). When some of the teams you listed with better small forwards (eg Demons, Pies) would only dream of having even 1 of the dogs 3 key tall forwards - arguably the best trio of tall forwards in the comp?. Clearly the lack of small forwards is a list tradeoff of having so many good tall forwards. Even then, West and Weightman is a pretty great duo of smalls. But yeah, even as a pies fan I love Bevo. He’s the only one who doesn’t take shit from the media, backs in his players, and just seems like a bit of a quirky but very likeable guy that the players all love. As long as it doesn't involve knocking us pies out of a final, I'd love for the doggies to get it done just to wipe the smirk off Corne's face. Corne's fixation on Bevo is truly bizarre, especially when he’s so forgiving towards Hinkley. Might also be worth looking into the media’s fixation on Simmo and Longmuire who seem to get a pile on while Ross Lyon (who I actually rate fwiw) gets next to no criticism after a stint in the media himself.
the only thing that pisses me off about this video is that it wasn't Kane vs the Eagles. i don't think AFL insight would have time for that can of worms. but i do love someone pointing out Kane's rubbish with receipts instead of just calling Kane a flog.
They are not professional Journalists and analysts - some they have agendas and push all sorts of wheelbarrows around. Embarrassing to watch. There are the usual culprits like Lloyd who has a very shallow view of the game imo, and Cornes who regularly shields certain teams like Port and their coach Hinkley and sticks the boots into certain Melbourne Clubs like Carlton and the Bulldogs. Maybe it's generate controversy or create fake following in the social media landscape - not sure. It actually backfires and destroys their credibility and integrity as journalists and analysts.
How can you back Hinkley so much when Beveridge has won 2 prelims and won a Grand Final. Hinkley has lost all Prelims he's coached and never made it to a GF. I agree with the hypocrisy as I'm all for constructive criticism for the better.
The best explanation I can find is that Kane learnt his journalism skills from his father... Even though Kane played for Port Adelaide... Which Graham (a Glenelg Tigers player & Adelaide Crows coach) absolutely hated. As a Port supporter myself I'd be saying that Kane was a better player than Graham (who tried to play for North Melbourne's foreign legion under Barrassi)
It's only just come to light for me just how many of these "journalists" had parents involved in the game. Sam Mcclure, Caroline Wilson, Kane Cornes and now I see even Kane's son has been given a job at SEN
I kinda like having a biased media person, I think all clubs should have a supporter behind a desk.. but good on the other media ppl calling him out. Makes the AFL a little bit more fun
Another great video, nice work. I have always viewed Cornes and Caroline Wilson as hot take merchants. They don't really care about doing the research more than the shallow analysis requires as long as people react, and other media people respond. Sometimes their analysis is right and justified but most of the time it's just hot take that on the surface looks good but if you look for more than 5 mins (like you have done here) you see its not valid at all. As media consuming public we need to stop watching and interacting with these merchants and focus on deeper conversation happening like right on youtube.
Couldn't agree more my friend...it's literally the reason why i started making content. I couldn't find stuff that I was interested in so decided I'd make it as best as I could myself. It's not always gonna hit but at least it's authentic. Appreciate the support and thanks for watching!
I’m only 10 minutes in but the thing that comes to mind is that Kane Cornes will always use his get out of jail free card and say that the dogs have the greatest list of players in the history of time.
Agree with comments about disadvantages of paying two rucks as showed in Brisbane final where two ruckmen and 3 wingers were picked so when Cripps was tagged out of game by Dunkley you then can’t send him forward to get him off tag with 3 talls already unless want 4 talls in there which isn’t balanced. Having 3 wings also meant we lost ability to change up midfield. Kennedy has kicked most goals of all Carlton mids and can be a good lead and overhead mark and when Cripps is resting is good like for like in midfield rotations. Cripps and Kennedy should be swapping each other out in midfield and forward line not in there together unless Kennedy is tagging. Last year when team was on a roll there was far more midfielders rotating through middle than by the finals and this year who got dropped from side last year and some now delisted. Voss hasn’t developed the midfield options and once Walsh was tagged didn’t try anything different and just hoped he could shrugged tag at some point which didn’t happen. Once player gets heavily tagged just concede the tag and adjust, Walsh could have moved to wing and utilise his running and get another midfielder in but leaving Walsh in there all game tagged out have no hope of winning. Great player Walsh is he needs space to use ball well and get on right foot as has no left and throws ball on boot under pressure so whatever kicks he gets under tag is going to be scrappy. Agree with comments on Ollie. Can’t see upside either other than running ability helping with rotations for midfielders but nothing else stands out. Marchbank can’t see why always brought back into side. More optimistic about Kemp than you. Much rather kemp than Marchbank. Williams just doesn’t seem to have any influence on games and if he was out of side next week wouldn’t notice he isn’t there so really just a role player these days but on massive contract. More optimistic about Cincotta than you as well. In twos when not doing lockdown roles does get a lot of the ball and think need a type like him is side that can do a lockdown role. Think Papley made few things out of nothing and not from Cincotta errors. Would have like to have seen Cincotta do a tagging role on Warner to try something different. Durdin had some good signs in his first few games but just doesn’t use ball well or kick goals under pressure so agree with you. Voss is issue and constantly gets out coach like he did against Cats, Pies and now Swans past few weeks because his game plan is so predictable and rarely changes things up. Will concede like you was happy to see him try something different with Williams which was first time can recall changing things up for long time although didn’t have any affect. Game plan he had meant none of Carltons best players played well yet nearly all of Sydney’s best players played well.
Really well put together. Absolutely hate Cornes, just feels like he hates on so many clubs to get clicks with 0 journalism integrity. I still remember him hating on North players staying on the ground to send off a Geelong player in a milestone game. Like come on mate, it's just good sportsmanship
Thanks for watching. He certainly is a divisive figure and can often be entertaining to a degree...what I can't stomach is what he displays in the video. Not wanting to upset his former coach and perhaps his brother whilst simultaneously slagging off premiership coaches is a bit rich for my liking and deserved to be called out for what it was and still is...blatant bias
Brilliant. FWIW Ports W/L v top 8 in recent times is eye catching to say the least. Could also do a vid of his unhealthy obsession with Richmond, esp Hopper & Taranto, who he was calling for Port to go after...
This has been a problem since the inception of the Eagles and the Bears in 1987. It is something on my list but I've got quite a few in front of it at the moment. Thanks for watching.
Kane won't say a bad word about Hinckley cause he got him to 300 games. His loyalty has been bought. Him crying and blowing wind up Hinckleys skirt says it all
I love to see that little muppet eat his words when Cornes all 2023 said the Pies were overrated and then we won the flag and then he got flattened in the boxing ring I never laughed so hard
The Mitchell comments at 35:48 are a bit off in retrospect as his system begins to work amazingly for a Hawks side that has been viewed as lacking talent, but otherwise this is a fantastic breakdown.
Thanks for watching, the Mitchell comments were made to again illustrate the hypocrisy of Cornes' comments towards Beveridge. Mitchell may well be a genius, he might even be the next Hawks premiership coach but the fact will always remain that Beveridge coached a younger and more inexperienced squad to the finals and a Premiership in a shorter period of time then Mitchell has been able to do...so if the one that hasn't made finals is a genius, then what does that make the one who not only did but also won a flag?It was more about attacking Kane's logic than the specifics of Mitchell's coaching prowess...cheers🙂
Same and also old mate is butthurt about something Cornes said about the Bulldogs lmao. Funny thing is Caro's the one that started wanting Bevos head in the first place lmao!!
@@fergulator7297 watched what? this video made by a western bulldogs fan. How about you actually watch footy classified. You'll find out it was Caroline Wilson who went after Beveridge. Hinkley lover lmao hahaahaha oh shit. Nah mate. Hinkley should've been gone years ago. Vote was 10 to 5 last time hence how he got a 2 year extension. Ironically though Cornes is doing something right. Less attention you give him the less he'll be on TV. All you people though continue watching his bullshit on social media hence the more views it gets the more times you'll see him on the TV
In all these media outlets, either firm the left or the right, someone has to fill the role of the devises advocate, the shock jockey, the smart people know that this is what every voyeur wats, in the end it’s just entertainment, can’t be easy to find headlines on a slow news day, and really aren’t you playing the same game for an audience, plus Kano has a good sense of self effacing humour, pretty good Nat his job actually.
At what point does "entertainment" cross the line though? Luke Beveridge's integrity, reputation, career and therefore livelihood are at stake every single time Cornes speaks about him in this manner and whips the media up into a frenzy. Luke was pretty candid on AFL 360 about the fact that too much outside noise can become too much of a disruption to the entirety of the Club and lead to the demise of the coach. Kane is entitled to have strong opinions, have at it, but at the very least be consistent with those opinions. I'd actually love to hear Bevo's unfiltered opinion of Cornes, that would be great entertainment, but unfortunately every time Luke bites back at the media or has a strong opinion himself (Cornes, Barrett, Tom Morris, etc) he cops more flak and has his "strange behaviour" questioned or is labelled as a "poor ambassador" for the Club by the echo chamber that is the modern media machine.
@@aflinsight2023 well argued, it can seem a bit personal at times, biased criticism is totally unacceptable of course, I loved angel’s response to questions after the recent loss to Man City, club rivalry means nothing to him, nor any personal criticism one sense, guessing BEVO has the same indifference to criticism, cheers
Kane Cornes has always been comfortable being the bad guy as a tagger when playing and as a commentator. I think Cornes is very genuine in his thoughts. He prides himself in being open minded but expects an equally open minded contrary view to be expressed or he will stand his ground. That is his integrity. My view on his thoughts are that he tries to be contrary and sensational most of the time. At other times he has more personal views that he is defensive of. This creates an overall impression that he is a flog. People love to hate him. Playing to his strengths.
35:32 Ohhĥh Kane was right about this one. Sam Mitchell is one of the best coaches out there. If you listened to former West Coast players speak about Sam, you'd know Kane is right. Luke Shuey said Sam Mitchell is the best coach he has ever had. He rates Mitchell higher than Simpson and Worsfold, and any of the assistants he had over the years.
That was interesting. But your simple conclusion that Collingwood had an advantage because they played Essendon and Carlton twice so many times and had a higher winning rate was a stretch. What about the teams that Collingwood never play twice, they are often the lower positioned teams. This is pronounced in recent years with north and west coast, whom we never play twice. Collingwood has certainly not been at the top of the ladder for 30 years.
I mean journalism is a low bar in this country, but at least sports journalism offers a place for flunking communication students, oh wait, it's actually the most gross ex-players who grt those gigs. The whole things a product, and the fan(atic)s are the ones who feed these parasites.
Well said, it's unfortunate that there is just no alternative. The majority of NBA content that I consume is created by fans and sadly the AFL have such a stronghold over the use of their footage that it becomes near impossible for us footy fans to offer up a different perspective on things.
@@aflinsight2023 they hold on to that footage because it's the only asset for viewership they have. If fan made content had access to that, no one would watch corno or his leech mates
@@dobbersanchez1185 Its such a short sighted view when compared to the NBA. As long as you don't replay full games it is open slather, the NBA executive actually view it as free marketing that drives interest in their game and therefore TV ratings, attendances and merch sales are all up...everybody wins
this is why i dont like BT as a commentator, his collingwood bias is really prevalent especially if he is commentating a game with collingwood, carlton or essendon in it
Carlton does not have a Marquee game. The Good Friday game became a thing only in the last 3 years. No one played on Good Friday before then. Australia has a small population and has competition from other sports. For it to stay viable as a professional competition it must be a money spinner. The AFL is a non profit organisation, just like the clubs. It must invest in populous states like NSW and QLD to stay viable. We live in a capitalist system. Everything is based on profit. You didn't mention the premierships. Your big 3 has not dominated premierships. Since the year 2000, Hawthorn, Richmond, Geelong and Brisbane have been the dominant teams. Is success in the AFL not measured by premierships? The fixture has done nothing to favour the Big 3 winning premierships.
I’m no Cornes fanat all but this video completely misses the point. He has never claimed to be a journalist. He has no obligation to be fair or balanced, he is paid to give his opinion and get clicks. He’d love that this this video exists proves 100% he is good at his job. People like Cornes exist because the clubs and players give the most robotic, boring “just taking things one week at a time” answers to every single question.
Josh Bruce’s injury is the reason the dogs didn’t win the premiership in 2020, you say. “It seriously took me five minutes to research…”. Maybe a few more minutes of analysis would have helped. And a pop shield/taking a step back from the mic.
Hey mate, Kane provides integrity to media. he's a star. bevo is a poor coach, if a good coach has that list, w those talls + bont, they win 3+ flags.they literally didn't make finals last yr!
So take the names out of it...there have been 38 Coaches in the last 10 seasons of football. Of those 38 only 4 have coached a team to two grand finals and won a flag in that time period. Which group of coaches has under-performed and which has over-performed?
I think people over exaggerate how good the Bulldogs players are. Yes, we have had a strong midfield for a while, but our defence has always been weak and our forwards are inconsistent.
Kane Cornes bias? What? To be fair, I’m a Port and Ken supporter but that was well researched. Great job. PS also a massive fan of Bevo. Very good man. PSS. This was far better than Footy Classified. 🫡
@@aflinsight2023 yes. Absolutely. I couldn’t agree more with everything you pulled together. You can’t argue with facts and the way you concluded, by pulling together a motive was hitting the nail on the head. First class job.
Never let the facts get in the way of a targeted vendetta!! Great video! I hope those that work with Cornes see this and use some of this material to call him out.

He’s the only one who doesn’t take shit from the media, backs in his players, and just seems like a bit of a quirky but very likeable guy that the players all love. As long as it doesn't involve knocking us pies out of a final, I'd love for the doggies to get it done just to wipe the smirk off Corne's face.
Corne's fixation on Bevo is truly bizarre, especially when he’s so forgiving towards Hinkley. Might also be worth looking into the media’s fixation on Simmo and Longmuire who seem to get a pile on while Ross Lyon (who I actually rate fwiw) gets next to no criticism after a stint in the media himself.
the only thing that pisses me off about this video is that it wasn't Kane vs the Eagles. i don't think AFL insight would have time for that can of worms. but i do love someone pointing out Kane's rubbish with receipts instead of just calling Kane a flog.
This is the 2nd comment on Cornes trashing the Eagles...who knows I might just be up for part two
They are not professional Journalists and analysts - some they have agendas and push all sorts of wheelbarrows around.
Embarrassing to watch. There are the usual culprits like Lloyd who has a very shallow view of the game imo, and Cornes who regularly shields certain teams like Port and their coach Hinkley and sticks the boots into certain Melbourne Clubs like Carlton and the Bulldogs.
Maybe it's generate controversy or create fake following in the social media landscape - not sure.
It actually backfires and destroys their credibility and integrity as journalists and analysts.
Embarrassing is the right word. I swear it never used to be this bad in the 80s and 90s
Loved it,Cornes is a dog and I'm a Port Supporter
How can you back Hinkley so much when Beveridge has won 2 prelims and won a Grand Final. Hinkley has lost all Prelims he's coached and never made it to a GF. I agree with the hypocrisy as I'm all for constructive criticism for the better.
The best explanation I can find is that Kane learnt his journalism skills from his father...
Even though Kane played for Port Adelaide... Which Graham (a Glenelg Tigers player & Adelaide Crows coach) absolutely hated.
As a Port supporter myself I'd be saying that Kane was a better player than Graham (who tried to play for North Melbourne's foreign legion under Barrassi)
It's only just come to light for me just how many of these "journalists" had parents involved in the game. Sam Mcclure, Caroline Wilson, Kane Cornes and now I see even Kane's son has been given a job at SEN
I kinda like having a biased media person, I think all clubs should have a supporter behind a desk.. but good on the other media ppl calling him out. Makes the AFL a little bit more fun
Another great video, nice work.
I have always viewed Cornes and Caroline Wilson as hot take merchants. They don't really care about doing the research more than the shallow analysis requires as long as people react, and other media people respond. Sometimes their analysis is right and justified but most of the time it's just hot take that on the surface looks good but if you look for more than 5 mins (like you have done here) you see its not valid at all.
As media consuming public we need to stop watching and interacting with these merchants and focus on deeper conversation happening like right on youtube.
Couldn't agree more my friend...it's literally the reason why i started making content. I couldn't find stuff that I was interested in so decided I'd make it as best as I could myself. It's not always gonna hit but at least it's authentic. Appreciate the support and thanks for watching!
@@aflinsight2023 that's great, I have very happy you did. I really hope independent media can really take off so the traditional media goes away
I’m only 10 minutes in but the thing that comes to mind is that Kane Cornes will always use his get out of jail free card and say that the dogs have the greatest list of players in the history of time.
Agree with comments about disadvantages of paying two rucks as showed in Brisbane final where two ruckmen and 3 wingers were picked so when Cripps was tagged out of game by Dunkley you then can’t send him forward to get him off tag with 3 talls already unless want 4 talls in there which isn’t balanced. Having 3 wings also meant we lost ability to change up midfield. Kennedy has kicked most goals of all Carlton mids and can be a good lead and overhead mark and when Cripps is resting is good like for like in midfield rotations. Cripps and Kennedy should be swapping each other out in midfield and forward line not in there together unless Kennedy is tagging. Last year when team was on a roll there was far more midfielders rotating through middle than by the finals and this year who got dropped from side last year and some now delisted. Voss hasn’t developed the midfield options and once Walsh was tagged didn’t try anything different and just hoped he could shrugged tag at some point which didn’t happen. Once player gets heavily tagged just concede the tag and adjust, Walsh could have moved to wing and utilise his running and get another midfielder in but leaving Walsh in there all game tagged out have no hope of winning. Great player Walsh is he needs space to use ball well and get on right foot as has no left and throws ball on boot under pressure so whatever kicks he gets under tag is going to be scrappy. Agree with comments on Ollie. Can’t see upside either other than running ability helping with rotations for midfielders but nothing else stands out. Marchbank can’t see why always brought back into side. More optimistic about Kemp than you. Much rather kemp than Marchbank. Williams just doesn’t seem to have any influence on games and if he was out of side next week wouldn’t notice he isn’t there so really just a role player these days but on massive contract. More optimistic about Cincotta than you as well. In twos when not doing lockdown roles does get a lot of the ball and think need a type like him is side that can do a lockdown role. Think Papley made few things out of nothing and not from Cincotta errors. Would have like to have seen Cincotta do a tagging role on Warner to try something different. Durdin had some good signs in his first few games but just doesn’t use ball well or kick goals under pressure so agree with you. Voss is issue and constantly gets out coach like he did against Cats, Pies and now Swans past few weeks because his game plan is so predictable and rarely changes things up. Will concede like you was happy to see him try something different with Williams which was first time can recall changing things up for long time although didn’t have any affect. Game plan he had meant none of Carltons best players played well yet nearly all of Sydney’s best players played well.
Really well put together. Absolutely hate Cornes, just feels like he hates on so many clubs to get clicks with 0 journalism integrity. I still remember him hating on North players staying on the ground to send off a Geelong player in a milestone game. Like come on mate, it's just good sportsmanship
Thanks for watching. He certainly is a divisive figure and can often be entertaining to a degree...what I can't stomach is what he displays in the video. Not wanting to upset his former coach and perhaps his brother whilst simultaneously slagging off premiership coaches is a bit rich for my liking and deserved to be called out for what it was and still is...blatant bias
Brilliant. FWIW Ports W/L v top 8 in recent times is eye catching to say the least. Could also do a vid of his unhealthy obsession with Richmond, esp Hopper & Taranto, who he was calling for Port to go after...
I think even Kane is starting to see that Ken's time is up now
seeing you like balance so much are you going to do a video on the commetary teams that only see victorian clubs during their calls
This has been a problem since the inception of the Eagles and the Bears in 1987. It is something on my list but I've got quite a few in front of it at the moment. Thanks for watching.
Kane won't say a bad word about Hinckley cause he got him to 300 games. His loyalty has been bought. Him crying and blowing wind up Hinckleys skirt says it all
Beautifully done.
Brilliant video mate :-) !!!
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching
I love to see that little muppet eat his words when Cornes all 2023 said the Pies were overrated and then we won the flag and then he got flattened in the boxing ring I never laughed so hard
Love it! I didn't catch him saying that but it's yet another example of a "hot take" gone wrong...thanks for watching.
The Mitchell comments at 35:48 are a bit off in retrospect as his system begins to work amazingly for a Hawks side that has been viewed as lacking talent, but otherwise this is a fantastic breakdown.
Thanks for watching, the Mitchell comments were made to again illustrate the hypocrisy of Cornes' comments towards Beveridge. Mitchell may well be a genius, he might even be the next Hawks premiership coach but the fact will always remain that Beveridge coached a younger and more inexperienced squad to the finals and a Premiership in a shorter period of time then Mitchell has been able to do...so if the one that hasn't made finals is a genius, then what does that make the one who not only did but also won a flag?It was more about attacking Kane's logic than the specifics of Mitchell's coaching prowess...cheers🙂
In 2021 the dogs couldn’t play at “ home” even if we wanted to
The only take from this is that if the guy gets sacked by the bulldogs he’ll be available to coach Port .
Same and also old mate is butthurt about something Cornes said about the Bulldogs lmao. Funny thing is Caro's the one that started wanting Bevos head in the first place lmao!!
@@td928what a load of bullshit,U seen to be a salty Hinkles lover,if U actually watched this you will see it's kane who has the agenda
@@fergulator7297 watched what? this video made by a western bulldogs fan. How about you actually watch footy classified. You'll find out it was Caroline Wilson who went after Beveridge. Hinkley lover lmao hahaahaha oh shit. Nah mate. Hinkley should've been gone years ago. Vote was 10 to 5 last time hence how he got a 2 year extension. Ironically though Cornes is doing something right. Less attention you give him the less he'll be on TV. All you people though continue watching his bullshit on social media hence the more views it gets the more times you'll see him on the TV
In all these media outlets, either firm the left or the right, someone has to fill the role of the devises advocate, the shock jockey, the smart people know that this is what every voyeur wats, in the end it’s just entertainment, can’t be easy to find headlines on a slow news day, and really aren’t you playing the same game for an audience, plus Kano has a good sense of self effacing humour, pretty good Nat his job actually.
At what point does "entertainment" cross the line though? Luke Beveridge's integrity, reputation, career and therefore livelihood are at stake every single time Cornes speaks about him in this manner and whips the media up into a frenzy. Luke was pretty candid on AFL 360 about the fact that too much outside noise can become too much of a disruption to the entirety of the Club and lead to the demise of the coach.
Kane is entitled to have strong opinions, have at it, but at the very least be consistent with those opinions. I'd actually love to hear Bevo's unfiltered opinion of Cornes, that would be great entertainment, but unfortunately every time Luke bites back at the media or has a strong opinion himself (Cornes, Barrett, Tom Morris, etc) he cops more flak and has his "strange behaviour" questioned or is labelled as a "poor ambassador" for the Club by the echo chamber that is the modern media machine.
@@aflinsight2023 well argued, it can seem a bit personal at times, biased criticism is totally unacceptable of course, I loved angel’s response to questions after the recent loss to Man City, club rivalry means nothing to him, nor any personal criticism one sense, guessing BEVO has the same indifference to criticism, cheers
Kane Cornes has always been comfortable being the bad guy as a tagger when playing and as a commentator. I think Cornes is very genuine in his thoughts. He prides himself in being open minded but expects an equally open minded contrary view to be expressed or he will stand his ground. That is his integrity. My view on his thoughts are that he tries to be contrary and sensational most of the time. At other times he has more personal views that he is defensive of. This creates an overall impression that he is a flog. People love to hate him. Playing to his strengths.
35:32
Ohhĥh Kane was right about this one. Sam Mitchell is one of the best coaches out there.
If you listened to former West Coast players speak about Sam, you'd know Kane is right.
Luke Shuey said Sam Mitchell is the best coach he has ever had. He rates Mitchell higher than Simpson and Worsfold, and any of the assistants he had over the years.
Starting to think this Kane Cornes chap is a bit of a flog
Great well researched and presented video. Kane Cornes is a typical tagger, no talent and totally biased.
Appreciate you watching, glad you enjoyed
Channel 9 is the type of network to say outrageous things because that’s how they get their ratings I think
Kane called sam Mitchell a 'genius' - he is being proved correct. he literally just says his opinion. he is not biased
Great video mate keep em coming
That was interesting. But your simple conclusion that Collingwood had an advantage because they played Essendon and Carlton twice so many times and had a higher winning rate was a stretch. What about the teams that Collingwood never play twice, they are often the lower positioned teams. This is pronounced in recent years with north and west coast, whom we never play twice. Collingwood has certainly not been at the top of the ladder for 30 years.
Kane doing everything he can to defend Hinkley who a spud coach
I mean journalism is a low bar in this country, but at least sports journalism offers a place for flunking communication students, oh wait, it's actually the most gross ex-players who grt those gigs.
The whole things a product, and the fan(atic)s are the ones who feed these parasites.
Well said, it's unfortunate that there is just no alternative. The majority of NBA content that I consume is created by fans and sadly the AFL have such a stronghold over the use of their footage that it becomes near impossible for us footy fans to offer up a different perspective on things.
@@aflinsight2023 they hold on to that footage because it's the only asset for viewership they have. If fan made content had access to that, no one would watch corno or his leech mates
@@dobbersanchez1185 Its such a short sighted view when compared to the NBA. As long as you don't replay full games it is open slather, the NBA executive actually view it as free marketing that drives interest in their game and therefore TV ratings, attendances and merch sales are all up...everybody wins
@@aflinsight2023 and they're so right! It follows the theme of backwards Australia, sadly.
Keep up your good work 👍
100% agree.
Is Mitchell more of a genius now in retrospect? Think Cornes is right on that one. But he does have a double standard with Hinkley.
this is why i dont like BT as a commentator, his collingwood bias is really prevalent especially if he is commentating a game with collingwood, carlton or essendon in it
to all the hinkley lovers you can send your love letters to 1 Davis street West Beach, dont forget to add a box of donuts
Kane’s a sniping tool who hails from a long line of tools. Can’t stand his biased commentary. Kingy brings some balance to the duo thankfully
Do you want Kane sacked, Ken sacked or Bevo knighted? 😂😂
Lol...I'd happily settle for Kane to be consistent
David King and Freo
Kane Corns Oh but only human
God help us all if poort go all the way 😮
Remove the power
Stop watching
and if he feels he's wrong he admits it eg. Taranto he now says he's not in top 70 players. which is tru, Taranto is a butcher.
Carlton does not have a Marquee game. The Good Friday game became a thing only in the last 3 years. No one played on Good Friday before then. Australia has a small population and has competition from other sports. For it to stay viable as a professional competition it must be a money spinner. The AFL is a non profit organisation, just like the clubs. It must invest in populous states like NSW and QLD to stay viable. We live in a capitalist system. Everything is based on profit. You didn't mention the premierships. Your big 3 has not dominated premierships. Since the year 2000, Hawthorn, Richmond, Geelong and Brisbane have been the dominant teams. Is success in the AFL not measured by premierships? The fixture has done nothing to favour the Big 3 winning premierships.
I’m no Cornes fanat all but this video completely misses the point.
He has never claimed to be a journalist. He has no obligation to be fair or balanced, he is paid to give his opinion and get clicks. He’d love that this this video exists proves 100% he is good at his job.
People like Cornes exist because the clubs and players give the most robotic, boring “just taking things one week at a time” answers to every single question.
Josh Bruce’s injury is the reason the dogs didn’t win the premiership in 2020, you say. “It seriously took me five minutes to research…”. Maybe a few more minutes of analysis would have helped. And a pop shield/taking a step back from the mic.
Stop deep throating the mic, its very distracting despite however great your points may be
its sad if players have mental health but this is afl. if u can't cope, leave.
I mean no offence but as a Western Aussie, to hear a Victorian complaining about media bias is laughable
I'm not a Victorian...
Obviously you are a bulldog’s supporter.
Hey mate, Kane provides integrity to media. he's a star. bevo is a poor coach, if a good coach has that list, w those talls + bont, they win 3+ flags.they literally didn't make finals last yr!
Do you know what integrity means, mate?
@@JulianRog says the guy w a dogs profile picture. #bias
@@Yesles21 Answer the question and explain how Cornes provides integrity
@@JulianRog cause he calls it as he seees it and critiques every club to the same extent
@@JulianRog eg. Port the same as dogs as crom as swans ..
This video is laughable. Saying Bevo has over preformed is a joke. Lying about Bevo to take pot shots Kane is embarrassing.
So take the names out of it...there have been 38 Coaches in the last 10 seasons of football. Of those 38 only 4 have coached a team to two grand finals and won a flag in that time period. Which group of coaches has under-performed and which has over-performed?
@@veraxmendax3503 that is such a dumb way of looking at it because you’re removing all the context.
😂That’s exactly what Kane is doing yet you seem to have missed that one 😂
I think people over exaggerate how good the Bulldogs players are. Yes, we have had a strong midfield for a while, but our defence has always been weak and our forwards are inconsistent.
@@seanbuchanan5402 no he isn’t.
Kane is an absolute flog and I haven't met a single person on his side.
Kane Cornes bias? What?
To be fair, I’m a Port and Ken supporter but that was well researched. Great job.
PS also a massive fan of Bevo. Very good man.
PSS. This was far better than Footy Classified. 🫡
Cheers mate. I've got nothing against Ken either, just hold them to the same standard FFS!! As a Port fan does Kane's nonsense annoy you?
@@aflinsight2023 yes. Absolutely. I couldn’t agree more with everything you pulled together. You can’t argue with facts and the way you concluded, by pulling together a motive was hitting the nail on the head. First class job.
