As a journalist Kane makes a very good fire fighter :roll:


As a click bait journalist he’s incredibly successful and he’s being promoted / encouraged as such by his employers

As a footy journalist, his opinions are often solid…. But blurred by his need (or filing the role for his employer) to resort to click bait statements amongst sometimes good analysis.

No issue with the focus being on the team, its his personal attacks which are the issue.

Kane is the best thing to happen in media circles for a long time. Always backs up his opinion with facts. Its chalk and cheese comparing him to the guys who have the media training education like Tom Morris and Sam Maclure, he shits all over them.
I never liked him as a player but love his media work

I must have missed the bits when he got personal, all seemed footy related commentary to me.

Shit commentary and click bait…. But all footy related.

Daisy isn't wrong. Kornes throws out a lot of click bait rubbish, but if you actually listen to what he says, him & Hodge are by far the best analysis in the game

And Hodge disagrees with him regularly from what I hear/read. Kane would have every coach sacked by now. Nearly every player would be in the magoos and the media would be wary of his barbs too. Seriously, he shoots out more sh1t than a hippo at Taronga.

What, they might disagree in one clip you see on social media each week after talking about 100 different things together?

Rate him.

Just needs to find that consistency of performance (like most young players).
