He was a member of the Port Adelaide side which won the premiership in 2004. On 3 July 2013, he retired from [[Australian Football League\|AFL]] football due to a troublesome knee. Cornes is currently serving as a forward ~~development~~line coach for the [https://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/club/staff Port Adelaide Football Club]. ==Playing career== ===Port Adelaide career (~~1999–2011~~1998–2011)=== ====Early career (~~1999–2003~~1998–2003)==== Cornes began his AFL career as a key-forward ~~and~~ after ~~playing~~debuting ~~only~~in 1999 and playing 6 games in ~~1999,~~his first season. Cornes was a regular in the Power forward line in 2000, booting 22 goals. Between 2000 and 2003 Cornes and Tredrea formed one of the best forward partnerships in the AFL, with Chad playing up the ground demonstrating his great contested marking ability. Despite being one of the best forwards in the game, Cornes was moved into defence at the start of the 2004 season. ====Career change (2004–2005)==== Line 49 ⟶ 55: ====Leadership (2006–2007)==== ~~The~~ 2006 was a disappointing one for Port Adelaide, and one which frustrated Cornes in particular. The season never really took off, and with Cornes now being a senior player, he was moved into the midfield to help the younger players. This move paid off as he dominated matches, which was a huge positive for the Power in an otherwise disappointing campaign. Cornes won the [[Showdown Medal]] in round 21.<ref>[http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/Season2007/News/NewsArticle/tabid/6038/Default.aspx?newsId=31309 Cornes can't wait for 2007]</ref> In 2007, Cornes was a key midfielder and has a largely impressive season. Cornes finished the 2007 season with 643 disposals, and led the competition in kicks, and went into the Brownlow medal count as one of the favourites. The great form of Cornes in midfield was crucial to the side making the AFL Grand Final, which was a huge surprise to most, including Cornes. Despite not expecting to have a good season, when they did make the Grand Final the belief appeared to be strong but they were unable to win their second flag, going down to [[Geelong Football Club\|Geelong]] by a record 119 points Line 55 ⟶ 61: ====Injuries (2008–2010)==== Port looked to bounce back from their Grand Final humiliation of the previous year when they took on Geelong in the opening round of 2008. Despite being close throughout the match, they were unable to win and that was the start of a four-game losing streak for the Power. Cornes suffered a broken finger in Round 6 against [[St Kilda Football Club\|St Kilda]] but returned just three weeks later despite the nature of the break being very severe. After 2 years with on and off form, Cornes broke his finger again in mid-2010. In 2009, Cornes appeared alongside other AFL footballers in an AFL television advertisement titled "AFL: In a League of its Own", which featured prominent AFL players playing Australian rules football at famous sporting venues around the world, and in the middle of other sports being played, including [[basketball]], [[Association football]] and [[American football]]. In the advertisement, Cornes bumps into [[Jonathan Brown (Australian footballer)\|Jonathan Brown]], before proceeding to smother his kick.<ref>{{cite web \|title=AFL Commercial 2009 - In A League Of {{as written\|I\|t's [sic]}} Own - HD \|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz7b-SmQFT0 \|website=YouTube \| date=20 March 2009 \|publisher=ALZ \|access-date=30 July 2023}}</ref> ====End of Port Adelaide career (2011)==== Despite having to stay on the sidelines for the rest of the year, he played on in 2011.

He has three younger half-sisters paternally. He is currently engaged to long-time partner Mikayla Graetz.
