Richmond remain well in contention for the 2020 premiership, but Port Adelaide champion Kane Cornes has lashed out at the club for becoming too complacent following the Tigers two flags in three years.

Following the controversial strip club related COVID-19 breach involving Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones, the Tigers have been hit with a $100,000 fine, including $25,000 carrying over from a prior penalty involving Brooke Cotchin.

The ongoing off-field issues at the club have marred their on-field success in 2020, with Cornes stating “success has gone to their heads”.

Speaking on SEN’s Crunch Time, Cornes added the Tigers dynasty might not be remembered for their champion performances.

“I admire the teams that win yet remain humble, those are the champion teams in my eyes. It takes nothing away from what Richmond has done on the field, but I don’t think they’ve been a humble side this year.

“From the tweets have been sent out to communication and the antics in the song, I think they have got ahead of themselves and success has gone to their heads a little bit.

“It’s not synonymous with other teams who you’ve seen who have had really successful dynasties like Geelong and Hawthorn from a similar era.

“Whatever happens on the field, I think there’s a little chink in the armour in terms of what has gone on this year and their lack of humility.”

Cornes was the exact same when we won our flags favourable fixtures,not travelling enough etc always finding exuses now his on to this crap.Make no mistake the media a loving this there picking holes stick it up them.

This is hilarious coming from someone who was one of the most disliked players to ever play the game based on a lack of humility. 

Comes from good stock also.  His old man ditched Mum for the 19yold secretary at work.  Less than half his age. 

Suggest Cornhole starts with the lectures at home.

Views of Cornes are irrelevant.

One could say the same about Kane Cornes

We've won 2 flags in 3 years, we haven't gotten ahead of ourselves.

Melbourne and Essendon get ahead of themselves.

As with everything in the media these days a small percentage of a particular group does something wrong and there is this pile on that is spread to everyone else in that group similarly tagged.

On the contrary to what Cornes and the multitude of media "experts" have to say events like this will actual help refocus the more disciplined members of the group.

I am more confident we will beat Geelong this Friday.
