Graham Studley Cornes OAM (born 31 March 1948 in Melbourne, Victoria) is a former Australian rules footballer and coach, as well as a media personality. From 1995 until early 2013, Cornes co-hosted a weekday drivetime sports program that he hosts on Adelaide radio station 5AA, first with Ken "KG" Cunningham and, following Cunningham's retirement in 2008, with Stephen Rowe. In 2012 he was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Cornes is also a Vietnam veteran, having served as an infantry soldier with the 7th Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment in 1968. ==Playing career== Cornes was a champion with the Glenelg Football Club in the SANFL, between 1967 and 1982. He played mostly at centre half-forward.〔Holmesby, R. and Main, J. (2005). ''The Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers. ISBN 1-86350-243-2''〕 In his 317〔(Son, brother, champion to say farewell )〕 club games for Glenelg he kicked 339 goals and won the club best and fairest award three times. He captained Glenelg in 1978 and was a member of the premiership team in 1973, taking a spectacular mark in the last minutes of the game and calmly kicking the goal to regain the lead. In 1977 Cornes took a memorable spectacular mark against Norwood which is captured in Jamie Cooper's painting ''the Game That Made Australia'', commissioned by the AFL in 2008 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the sport.〔Australian Football League, (The Game That Made Australia ), Retrieved 19 September 2010〕 Cornes signed with the VFL's South Melbourne in Victoria early in his career, but stayed in South Australia.

As playing coach with South Adelaide he played 47 games in 1983-1984. Cornes represented South Australia 21 times, including as captain in 1978. He was selected in the All-Australian team in 1979 and 1980, winning the Tassie Medal in 1980 and the Simpson Medal in 1979. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Graham Cornes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
