Cornes reveals sledge that sparked hilarious clip with Crows fan
SEN • September 15th, 2025 8:52 am
Kane Cornes has lifted the lid on the sledge that sparked his hilarious commentary box exchange with a rowdy Crows fan at the Adelaide Oval on Friday night.
Footage showing the SEN star giving the man a personal send-off midway through the third quarter of Adelaide's Semi-Final loss to Hawthorn went viral over the weekend and now he's set the record straight on what actually happened.
"This was extraordinary," Cornes said to David King on SEN Monday Fireball. "I was with Dwayne (Russell), we were in a good mood and set for a big game.
"The national anthem started and I stand up like any respectful Australian and this bald, middle-aged Crow idiot turns around and looks at our box and starts screaming at me to stand up.
"I said 'I am standing up you clown'.
"Dwayne thought he was having a crack at my height, he thought it was a short joke because there was no logical explanation for it, so I was giving him a few death stares and we move on.
"Halfway through the third quarter someone said ‘look he’s leaving’ so I couldn’t resist, I had to give him a little bit of a send-off and he refused to engage. That’s ok, he can crawl back under the rock he’s been under for the last seven years at Adelaide.
"If anyone can track him down, let us know, who is he? We’re not gonna shame him, but let us know. Let's get him on Fireball!"
It wasn't a great night for the Crows fan as he had to endure a straight sets exit for his club who bowed out after claiming the minor premiership.
