Kane Cornes has come out and spoken about the time he was sledged by two-time Brownlow Medalist Chris Judd on the footy field.

On SEN in South Australia, Cornes' co-host Andrew Haynes was talking about when Cornes threw sledges during a game against the West Coast Eagles.

Cornes thought if he talked stats, it would get under the skin of the Eagles but it backfired.

โ€œYou were trying to get on the lip to Chad Fletcher and you were just throwing stats because you love stats," Haynes said.

โ€œAnd you were saying things like, โ€˜Ohhh Chad, three weeks ago you only had four kicks and then last week you had 16 disposals but youโ€™ve been averaging 24โ€™, and you were going on with all this rubbish.

โ€œThen Chadโ€™s just turned to you and said, โ€˜Kane, get a hobby you nerdโ€™. And this was in amongst a group of players in the heat of the battle on a footy field and everyone has just absolutely erupted.โ€

Cornes replied with, โ€œIt is somewhat true.

โ€œTo make it worse, the player was Chris Judd.

โ€œI was throwing numbers at Juddy and he just said to me, โ€˜You are a nerd, get a hobbyโ€™.

โ€œThat one is true unfortunately for me, Iโ€™m embarrassed to say.โ€
