One of the AFL’s elite midfielders, with four Best and Fairest’s and a place in Port Adelaide’s inaugural AFL Premiership to his name, Kane is a great of the Power and as a result, was inducted into Port’s Hall of Fame in 2018. Kane surpassed previous games record holder Warren Tredrea in 2013, and finished his career with 300 games, retiring midway through the 2015 season.
Kane Cornes enters the SA Football Hall of Fame – following his older brother Chad and his father Graham to create an extraordinary family gathering in football’s great pantheon – with his reputation in Australian football to be remembered for far more than just a “tagger” – a very serious shadow.
“Kane would line up against the opposition player considered most likely to stop us from winning,” recalls former Port Adelaide chief executive Keith Thomas.
“Think about the pressure associated with that job, week, after week, after week for 15 years.
“Kane did that job outstandingly well – probably better than anyone else in the league – for his entire career.”
Cornes’ career was of 300 AFL games – the first Port Adelaide player to reach this milestone in the national league. He followed Russell Ebert, Greg Phillips, Darren Smith and Tim Ginever in the exclusive 300 Club at Alberton.
He earned two All-Australian blazers – in 2005 and 2007 when the national selectors noted a player of extreme determination to win the ball, not just haunt an opponent.
He was crowned with four John Cahill Medals as the Port Adelaide AFL club champion – in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2012 while having to contend with Australian Football Hall of Famer and 2004 premiership captain Warren Tredrea for this honour.
