Founding Adelaide Crows coach, SANFL legend and respected football commentator.
Graham Cornes is a South Australian football institution — a Vietnam veteran, Glenelg legend, the inaugural senior coach of the Adelaide Crows and the patriarch of one of the great Australian football families. He played more than 300 SANFL games, coached at the highest level and has been one of South Australia's most listened-to football voices for the last three decades through radio, television and print.
For corporate events he brings a perspective shaped by all of it — military service, elite sport, foundation coaching of an expansion AFL club, and the long arc of a media career. His storytelling is dry, considered and lands particularly well with SA audiences and with anyone who appreciates an old-school football voice.
Graham is a strong choice for footy lunches, SA-based corporate dinners and any event that wants a founding figure of the AFL era as its headline speaker.
