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.
“You sort of casually speak about it and I said I reckon he’s a top-five player in the game. It was put on social media and everyone loses their mind,” Cornes said on SEN’s The Captain’s Run.
“They agree or disagree, that’s the way it works. I think he genuinely is a top-five player. I’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.
1. Dustin Martin
2021 season averages: 29 disposals, 1.1 goals, 6 clearances
Who else but Dusty? The superstar Tiger has entrenched himself as one of the best players of not only the modern era, but all time. And he's Cornes' pick for the greatest player currently.
Three Norm Smiths from the Tigers' last three flags, there is no better match-winner or big-time player going around.
While there are plenty of stars pushing their cases to be the labelled the game's No. 1 player, dethroning Dusty will require some serious convincing.
