4. Cornes reveals the game’s four superstars
Kane Cornes has never been short of an opinion in his media career.
Before the start of the season he shared his belief that the term ‘superstar’ was overused and that there was only four such players in the competition.
Naturally, this created some debate, with his choices being Gary Ablett Junior, Lance Franklin, Patrick Dangerfield and Alex Rance.
His omission of Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin was duly noted, but Cornes believed he needed to maintain a standard of excellence to be considered a superstar.
Cornes also believed that players such as Marcus Bontempelli, Josh Kelly and Ben Brown had the chance to become superstars in the future.
