Kane Cornes has lined up his latest target, excuse the pun, and it's the guards of honour that were handed out to two players last weekend for their 200th AFL games.
The Western Bulldogs helped form a guard of honour as Demon Ed Langdon was chaired off following Melbourne's narrow loss on Sunday, a day after the Tigers performed a similar act for Saints skipper Jack Steele.
It was all too much for Port premiership player Cornes, one of the most outspoken members of the footy media.
Commenting on SEN's Fireball, Cornes labelled the tributes "extraordinary" and again complained about his perceived softness of the modern game.

“I saw some extraordinary scenes on the weekend, scenes that I actually cannot believe,” he said. “How soft has the game become? What is going on?
“I saw two teams hang around post-match on the ground, line up and give guards of honour for game 200.
“I’m not talking Steele Sidebottom 350, I’m not talking last ever game Sam Docherty, I’m not talking game 300, I’m talking game 200.
“The Western Bulldogs lining up for Ed Langdon is as comical as I’ve seen and Richmond lining up for Jack Steele is completely comical.
“So game 300 is the limit or a significant player’s retirement. Where to next? 150? 100? First gamers get a chair off?"

Cornes, who played exactly 300 games in his career with the Power, wasn't finished there. The two-time All Australian appeared to want answers over who had agreed to the ceremonies.
“Who has decided to line up for Jack Steele? Ed Langdon?" he asked.
“You should say ‘well done’ and shake his hand, wish him well on his milestone, but we’re not giving him a guard of honour.
“Who signed off on the guards of honour? Steam was coming out of my ears. People say relax and don’t let things affect you, but they do.
“We’ve just become so soft.”
