Port Adelaide champion Kane Cornes has secured another big TV gig as his media star continues to rise.

Confidential understands Cornes will replace Chris Judd on AFL panel show Footy Classified next year.

The SEN breakfast host and The Advertiser columnist will be part of Nine’s revamped program, which will air twice a week on Monday and Wednesday nights.

Former Fremantle and St Kilda coach Ross Lyon is also tipped to be “in the mix” as a regular guest, as the program moves to a rotating panel of hosts and commentators which will float in and out during the season.

Matthew Lloyd, Caroline Wilson and Craig Hutchison are expected to return to the four-person panel.

Judd had two years as a weekly co-host on Footy Classified, but walked away from the show in October.

He endured a difficult year in the hot seat after he was caught in the middle in his roles as Carlton football director and as a critical football analyst on Nine.

Cornes played 300 matches with the Power before retiring in 2015.

He has since gone on to several successful roles in the media, and is currently a weekly panellist on the Sunday Footy Show and Nine’s Monday night Footy SA program.

Cornes declined to comment when contacted by Confidential.
