Port Adelaide great Kane Cornes<\/a> has taken aim at the attitude of several key figures at Geelong prior to their shock loss at the hands of the Adelaide Crows in Round One.<\/p>\n

Coming into the match as raging favourites, Chris Scott's side was second-best all over the ground as Adelaide romped to a 12-point win<\/a>, with the margin swelling out over 30 points at one stage.<\/p>\n

MORE:<\/strong> Dangerfield sent directly to Tribunal over dangerous hit<\/a><\/p>\n

Following the stunning loss, Cornes showed comments from Scott as well as club captain Joel Selwood and star man Patrick Dangerfield as examples of Geelong's poor attitude in the lead-up.<\/p>\n

"Adelaide had one rotation down prior to half-time in 30 degree heat at the Adelaide Oval, and they got up and won because their attitude was better than yours," he said on Nine's AFL Sunday Footy Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Joel<\/p>\n

"I hope it's a lesson for Scott, Dangerfield and Selwood, the most influential figures at that club, to not sulk about the rules and to go in with the right attitude.<\/p>\n

"That attitude filters through the group. Subconsciously or whatever it is, you saw Adelaide's attitude.<\/p>\n

"I don't know what percentage you place on it, but you've got your key figures complaining about the length of the game."<\/p>\n

All three of Selwood, Dangerfield and Scott had raise concerns about the AFL reverting back to the traditional 20-minute quarters in the lead-up to the opening round.<\/p>\n

\"Patrick<\/p>\n

"I am a bit worried this year about what it looks like for players," Selwood told SEN.<\/p>\n

"I'm a bit worried about what it looks like for supporters too because we may have to manage players at certain times.<\/p>\n

"With 22 games and taking it up an extra four minutes a quarter, it's going to be a stretch."<\/p>\n

"It's a big ask to go from the shortened games to what we experienced on the weekend," Dangerfield said after the Cats' pre-season hit-out.<\/p>\n

"It felt like a really long time on your feet."<\/p>\n
