team wins = talk them up
team loses = criticise them
then the thousands of supporters desperate for the validation of hearing someone on telly wearing a tie saying something they agree with just woof it all down without chewing
Kane doesnāt tell if like it is. He says whatever he thinks will get the biggest reaction. I donāt believe for a second that he thinks weāll win a final next year, nor do I believe thereās sincerity in the negative comments he makes about most clubs/players. He plays both sides and relies on people with short memories to maintain any relevancy in the media space.
Kane Cornes gets off on bullying teenage kids and telling footy clubs how they should conduct themselves from the comfort of a television studio. Even though his football club was so farked when he played there that they almost went bankrupt and had to cover their stands with tarps. Oh and he quit in his training as a fireman because hes an inferior piece of trash.
He doesnāt say it as it is. Hes an overly pedantic tosser who places unrealistic expectations on clubs and players and starts feuds to drive clicks and outrage.
it wouldnāt be so sad if he wasnāt such a boring piece of white bread with a pole up his arse. hes not even slightly entertaining. his whole business revolves around spriuking brain-rotted opinions and hoping people click on his articles and videos. Hes trying so hard to ape on the US ESPN hot take style. Wants to be Stephen A Smith so bad. But completely lacks the talent or showmanship to do so.
on top of that hes a hopeless port nuffie whose biased opinions of his own club would embarrass even the worst of their fans. just look at him bang on about Horne-Francis and rag on North Melbourne for no reason other than Port got Horne-Francis. Hes an embarrassment to the industry.
Yet when he played he sat in the corner and sulked when given any criticism of how he played and was known to be an absolute mess when given any feedback by the coaches
But he doesnāt really does he? From the little Iāll admit to seeing I think itās actually him getting off on it. He expects it. Heāll say whatever he needs to say to generate hubris.
He knows exactly what heās doing, and as deplorable as it is, heās actually pretty good at it.
