Former Port Adelaide star Kane Cornes has named his current top five AFL players.

The Power games record expanded on his declaration earlier this week that Giants star Toby Greene is a top five player in the game, who has thrived since standing is as skipper for injured incumbent Stephen Coniglio.

The star forward is fresh off signing a two-year extension with the club, making him a Giant for life.

โ€œYou sort of casually speak about it and I said I reckon heโ€™s a top-five player in the game. It was put on social media and everyone loses their mind,โ€ Cornes said on SENโ€™s The Captainโ€™s Run.

โ€œThey agree or disagree, thatโ€™s the way it works. I think he genuinely is a top-five player. Iโ€™m not walking away from those comments."

Cornes went on to name his top five players as it stands, giving an honourable mention to Melbourne's Max Gawn.

5. Toby Greene

2021 season averages: 18.6 disposals, 4.7 marks, 2.7 goals

Coming in at No. 5 is Toby Greene, of course, the talking point behind this list. Greene has enjoyed a stellar season, and as previously mentioned, has stood up massively since stepping into the captaincy role.

Cornes said on SEN radio earlier this week: "He is extraordinary. He plays the toughest position on the ground, gets the most attention from the opposition, never complains.

โ€œI think he is a player that has won the competition over."
