Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[Nteshy]

It was a nothing comment not hurtful or aggressive in any way.

It was just inappropriate and classless of a head coach to carry himself in that manner.

Credit to him though to own up to it in his presser.

Ginnevan got what's coming and there will be plenty more of it this week.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Hinkley has apologised - hawks are to grow a set.

Literally nothing to apologize for imo

 

[SM]

Media a bit too fixated on it though. Embarrassing to focus on it.

 

[GoulburnSwan]

OFFS This was all caused by again by Ginnivan. Let’s not forget that. It seems he can do what he wants, but if someone reacts in the negative they cry wolf. You can’t have it both ways.

 

[Voula]

Stevic is going to be devastated. His favourites out in consecutive weeks.....

I noticed he wasn't picked for either game this week. They're going to roll him out for our Prelim aren't they??

Nobody is going to forget that. He is about to reap what he has sowed. He will copping it for a long time given it clearly motivated Port. In a game decided by 3 points...

Finals are different gravy so I feel you can't lean on head to head results too much. Good example is the Giants this year. 2-0 in H&A but they were leading for most of the match in a finals game and really should've won.

We should've beat Port by 4 goals last year if we want to go down that avenue.

They love this shit.

This Mitchell Press-conference is just depressing. I know he has just lost but man he just sounds so poor

This is the bloke who was a serial "knee into the opponent's leg kinda guy"

And the grand final, unless he gets a bad case of gastro.

They love this shit.

To lead the presser though is so cringe.

 

[WhippingCupcakes]

The one bad thing about Port winning is going to be the constant discussion about the 112 point loss. Channel 7 have already started showing footage from that game. I've changed the channel!

Not anymore!

All about Hinkley/Ginnivan

Such a fine upstanding chap.

Fyfe was never the same player after Mitchell kneed him.

Its obvious it was gonna be the focus it doesnt happen often

 

[ashep]

Players shake hands after a tough fought battle, respecting their opponent regardless of what happened before or during the game.

For a senior coach to have a crack at a young kid in the immediate aftermath of a crushing elimination loss is absolute garbage.

Being 0-3 against GWS in sporadic finals is somewhat different to being 0-8 against one team having played them every year for over a close to a decade period.

Think ur putting too much into this.

Firstly, if not for a gust of wind (with Ollie’s kick on the siren), we win last season.

Secondly, the circumstances around the upcoming prelim are far more in our favour than those last 8 games… and per another poster, we had a poor side in the R21 game and they had Houston & Farrell playing.

If we bring the pressure & intensity next Friday, we win!

Have we been generally better than Port in that time?

 

[ashep]

Everyone cracked the shits at McCartney last week and wanted him fined/banned for absolutely nothing. Think the anti-Hawks sentiment is playing a role here.

 

[ShireSwan]

BTW, the ‘wizard’ can piss off.
It’s disrespectful to Capper, the true & original (c) Wiz

That Dawks bloke should be called the Hobbit, not Wizard anyways.

Developed a blood clot and had alot of complications afterwards

Physical contact is a little different.

 

[MF]

Apparently it was all in good fun for Ginnivan to show a bit of "character" but not so much when Ken gives him a little back.

I once got called out by a Hawthorn supporter for calling Puopolo a twerp in a finals match as though I had said something unforgiveable.

It's what they do now though, unfortunately. Just pick and pick until they make a mountain out of a molehill.
