Port Adelaide great Kane Cornes has accused Adelaide's Mitch McGovern of money grabbing by wanting to leave the Crows.

McGovern's manager Colin Young yesterday said his client had "lost faith" in the Crows and both the player and the club decided the 23-year-old "wasn't a fit for the Crows".

However Cornes questioned how McGovern could have more faith in Carlton or the Gold Coast Suns, two teams who are interested in securing the forward.

โ€œThe two clubs that Mitch McGovern has been linked the most strongly to are Gold Coast and Carlton,โ€ Cornes said on Sportsday SA radio.

โ€œCarlton won two games. He canโ€™t be serious, he cannot say that with a straight face, surely."

Former Adelaide coach Malcolm Blight was also unimpressed by McGovern's decision to leave the Crows.

โ€œExcuse me. You are too busy trying to play the game, get a kick, and be good," Blight said on FIVEaa

โ€œMaking assessments of a whole football club that has been around nearly 30 years, and has never bottomed out, and youโ€™ve waned? Get over it."

โ€œHow can you make a decision like that? Tell the truth: โ€˜Iโ€™m going for cash because Iโ€™m hungry for cash.โ€™โ€
