Former Port Adelaide legend Kane Cornes had revealed an epic sledge that was laid upon him by current Fremantle star, Nat Fyfe.

Cornes played 300 games for the Power between 2001 and 2015, but this incident may have been the last straw in his fantastic career.

Cornes was a relatively small and nimble midfielder, who has no chance when coming up against Fyfe's 88kg frame.

Fyfe is part of a huge midfield crew in today's game, including Richmond's Dustin Martin, Geelong's Patrick Dangerfield, Western Bulldogs' Marcus Bontempelli and others, who have transformed the way engine rooms are created throughout AFL clubs.

“I remember playing on Nat Fyfe one day at Adelaide Oval and I remember thinking there is nothing I can do to stop this guy. It finished my career,” Cornes said on SEN on Saturday.

“The power of the modern midfielder meant guys that weighed 79 kilograms like me didn’t really have a place.

“He was at one stage looking at me and laughing.

“He actually said to me, ‘what are you going to do, you old skinny man?’

“He actually turned to me and said, ‘I’m going to take you straightforward’. Which he did, and he kicked a goal within 30 seconds. I thought, I’m done here."

Fyfe has played 144 games for Fremantle since his debut in 2010.

He is arguably one of the best AFL players going around, and has been rewarded with a Brownlow Medal in 2015, two AFL Players Association Most Valuable Player awards, two All Australian selections, and the Dockers captaincy.

His side have won three out of their six fixtures this season thus far, but face the reigning premiers Richmond Tigers on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.
