Anyone who saw the back page of the paper will know that the Port Adelaide 2012 Best & Fairest controversy is a story that is going nowhere. Indeed, it has now blown up with winner that year Kane Cornes demanding an investigation into the award.

Cornes picked up the B&F award in 2012, but Ditts has mentioned several times, since that night eight years ago, how the voting was changed so they didn't give the award to a player who they would have had to pay out a bonus to. 

On this morning's Roo & Ditts, reacting to Cornes' understandable concerns about the handling of that situation, Ditts stood by his claims "100%".

He also stressed "It's not Kane's fault."

He went on to tell the full story of the 2012 B&F including witnessing the player's reactions to Cornes getting the award, and his discussion with a senior member of the Port staff who couldn't remember giving points to Kane Cornes in a game where he was awarded them. 

We've put the full break below, unedited, so you can listen to Ditts full side of what happened on that night in 2012:
