Autopsy AFL 2024 Second Semi Final - Port v Hawks Fri Sept 13th 7:40pm EST/7:10pm CST (AO) Teams in OP

[Lavender Bushranger]

He said he was emotional but....

But because of the comments on Instagram... He's not really sorry. Absolutely classless.

If he's coaching next year or not, Hawks will be even more fired up against Port next season. Enjoy getting thrashed Port

Hahah.

Come on, you can't be so one eyed to not acknowledge that Ginnivan has almost literally been begging for this scenario for him and his team to happen all year - and he got it.

I encourage him to keep doing it - but this was always going to happen at some point. This is why Collingwood flicked him wasn't it?

 

[Sector 7G]

So soft from Mitchell.

Should have just said if you
Give it you have got to take it. We move on

Not be a sook

 

[Monco Matt]

This one?

THE ULTIMATE HIPOCRITE

 

[The Casey Cat]

lol disgraceful opposition coach mouthing off at the losing team , just typifies the grubbiness of that club

Shameful

He probably shouldn't have done it but Gin then Siccily especially mouthed off themselves.

 

[SSSSSS]

Bit of theatre. Loved it. Winners are grinners. And he was absolutely right. A statement of fact. Hawks aren’t flying to Sydney.

Does Ken think Ginnivan has to hitchhike home?

 

[kriles76]

Great game. We nearly pinched it but we were chasing the game all night. Port’s pressure was immense and our boys couldn’t match it.

We’ll be better for it.

 

[What is a cakewalk]

One is a light hearted joke pre-match with a friend.

The other is an opposition coach going completely unhinged pretending to be an aeroplane and getting verbal post-game.

Pretending to be an aeroplane... **** poor old ginni must have been terrified

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

You really think kem just said "haha, 14 days?"

1. The level 1 coaching course specifically states coaches are not to engage with any opposition player other than to say "good game," that's level 1. Hinckley would be at a minimum level 2. He needs to do better.

2. Swearing and mouthing off after you've won isn't just arrogance, it's just poor sportsmanship.

Hahah.

I'm sure AFL coaches refer to their manilla folders full of 'Level 1 Coaching' shit regularly to remind them how to carry out their duties as a senior AFL coach.

 

[Delisted]

Ginni the ultimate keyboard warrior. Talks shit but when the fight is on he's no where to be seen.

The loss if on Ginni. 3 points. Burgoyne BOG as well.

The irony.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Yeah that Hinkley bloke looks like a serial killer.

The Port Adelaide choker

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Yep.

If you lip read what Ken said “you’re not flying” and doing the movements to Ginnivan.

It set Sicily off, then was referred to in the post match as “very aggressive”.

Hang on there mate.

You try having a 60 year old make aeroplane gestures towards you while saying you can’t get on, and then come back to me.

That’s as aggressive as it gets. There needs to be a law against that type of thing, particularly against 21 year old men who play professional footy - they are a vulnerable group of our community and need protecting.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Suck shite Mitchell ... with your faux anger and pain ... terrible actor

Biggest flog in footy ATM, smug lil campaigner.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

If you want to chat shit and banter then you gotta be prepared to cop it back.

Just say gg well played and move on

 

[Osho]

Thought the game was riveting all way through. Pressure from both sides was through the ceilibg. Sicily's poster was unlucky. I thought at the time he could have taken a bit more time with the kick. I reckon that contributed to his frustration end of game.

 

[bungalow_bill]

The moment Sicily stuffed up that kick for goal was a few seconds of pure unadulterated joy. Thanks Hawks.

 

[Mayes2Gray]

Roar! Gotta love Ken in this moment. Saying it how he sees it.

I definitely gained a lot more respect for him after lt. That. Don’t apologise Kenny. Keep it up.

 

[Seadog]

All in all a great end to the game, Ken won and lost the moral high ground. Both teams got what they deserved. Huzzah

 

[Duckimus Prime]

So many classes people in this thread.

I guess being Hawthorn's bunnies for 4 decades has really jaded you.

As for Port and Kenny...

If you thought 14 days was ammunition, Hawks will pummel Port by 14 goals in each game after disrespecting Breust while he's chaired off, absolutely classless club. That's an extra 8 points will have next season, thank very much.

Have a sook.

The only person carrying on like a pork chop during Breust's chairing off was Sicily.

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

One is a light hearted joke pre-match with a friend.

How precious these Hawkers are when they lose. Absurd. Mitchell, Sicily, Lewis and Hodge all showing they can give it but can't take it.

Makes Ports win so much more sweeter.

You're a pretty shit coach Ken, but thanks for this moment, awesome!!

 

[aussierulesrules]

As a coach I would have hated the "see you in 14 days" comment. Let's just say it gave Port a little bit more motivation?

A bit more motivation that possibly could have been the difference between winning by 3 points and losing by 3 points.

Interesting that Ken said he’d used Ginnivan’s comments “a fair bit” during the week as motivation.

All those who said there was nothing wrong with what he said and that he hadn’t given the other team any extra motivation were absolutely kidding themselves, and I guarantee he’ll never do that again.

Handed the other team extra motivation in what turned out to be a game that went down to the wire, and piled a bunch of completely unnecessary extra pressure on himself.

Super-foolish.

There’s a reason guys like Hodge, Riewoldt and Lewis were so against what he did. These guys know what you do and what you don’t do in situations like this and Ginni has just learned the hard way why you don’t.

 

[Hippster]

Was Mitchell player-coach that day? If not, hardly the same thing is it?

Close enough. Loved how Mitch gave it out. The needle at the Essendon druggies was gold.
So I personally cringed at his presser.
Suck it Sam and let’s move onto 2025.

 

[Franc de Borges]

I was hoping Hawthorn would lose, but the fallout from this has saved the finals series for me. Great stuff.

 

[Plugger35]

Kenny has nothing to apologise about imo, some of the arrogant Hawks players and their sooky arrogant coach deserved a serve.

That's a good take.

Don’t give the opposition any ammunition.
Ginnivan wants it to be all about him. It won’t end well if it continues. It’s already cost you a knockout final.
