Cornes - father and son

[Adelaide Hawk]

Was Graham Cornes the Glenelg player that was part of that famous piece of footage where he gets his face rubbed into the mud by a Norwood player who i think was John Wynne ?

That was a classic. It was late in 1974 I think on a muddy Norwood Oval. Cornes was being his arrogant best strutting around. The crowd were giving it to him so he decided to offer the fingers to the crowd ... like father like son

In the next play, Cornes went to ground so Wynne walked in an rubbed his face in the mud. Cornes stood up with mud all over him and crowd went nuts. It was all in good spirit, and very humorous.

Was actually Phil Carman.

Was Graham Cornes the SANFL equivalent of Trevor Barker?

IMO Cornes was better than Barker but not as good as Knights in the high flying stakes....

Graham an out and out champion

I now know why he was able to take so many screamers. The ball was bigger!

Thanks CP, that was troubling me all afternoon. I wasn't sure it was 2-8 but someone else said it was so I went along with it. It just sounded like something Wynne would have done

Good call about Cornes and Barker. Very similar styles of player, especially in the air. They were both great players to watch.

I was using the word "arrogant" in the most positive context

Can't defend the indefensible....

Went over too late after being too set in his ways. I'm glad he delayed his "try" at VFL footy as it allowed me two years as a kid to see him strut his stuff in the SANFL.

I know AH hey if I wasn't a BAys supporter I'd call him arrogant too....

Probably went to the wrong team (and coach) too.

No worries mate .. No doubt Two-Eight would have done similar if he'd gotten there first
