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

Ken's own supporters have been brutal towards him and he chooses to respond to a cheeky albeit arrogant social media post. He should have given to Port's supporter base too.

But Sicily didn’t kick that goal..

Exactly. Employed for another week. Good job

 

[Del225438]

But Sicily didn’t kick that goal..

Correct. I guess the point was just how fickle people can be. A week can be a long time in footy but all they've done is limped over the line after being belted the week before.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

I'm sure it comes across different if you are a player or coach at Port Adelaide.

Well of course. Was it news to Port Adelaide and their supporters that Hawthorn and their supporters hoped to win the game?

 

[Farang83150]

It's more of a laugh that people think hinkley shouldn't be aloud a come-back, ginniven had a crack and hinkley gave some back, good on him.

I have no opinion one way or the other about Jack Ginnivan, but I’m struggling to see what was so terrible about his post. Just a bit of cheekiness surely?

The problem with comment is that Ginnivan gave Port ammunition to fire back at him and his team.

Port got flogged the weak before and was staring down, back to back straight sets exit. The mistake Hawthorn made was distracting Port away from their self loathing and gave them external focus and motivation to beat them.

"Never distract your enemy when they are making a mistake*

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Fine line between cheekiness & w@nker tool

Sure, but some in the media were making out like it was some disgusting slur.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Sicily probably only reacted the way did because he was still filthy about missing that absolutely gimme that would have won the game

For such a supposedly great kick it's was a bad choke by a captain

Yeah, don’t disagree with any of that. Purely asking whether what Ginnivan posted was as provocative as people are making out. It was just the sort of banter that players and fans indulge in all the time.

If it wasn't for their inaccuracy, Port should have won by 5+ goals anyway.

Seems like it was, you're still commenting on it....

It was very public and bottom line it was very disrespectful to Port

Ginnivan now looks like an total loser tool for not being able to deliver on his cocksure sledge

People are losing their minds over a bit of banter

 

[Vindicater]

Mitchell looked seething in his press conference.

Reckon Ginnivan is going to cop some extra pre-seqson attention.

 

[Foucault1989]

I didn't think there was anything malicious in what Kenny did. Lighten up Hawks. Just having a laugh. Why do they take things so seriously?

 

[OverseasCrowNA]

I think a lot of people have been suffering Hawthorn through gritted teeth and that most people will quite enjoy Hinkley’s antics after the game.

It was such a beautiful old fart way to troll a bunch of cocky Gen Z’s or whatever they are.

Normal people don’t want footballers wearing wizards hats and taking selfies with crowds. Normal people don’t like Hawthorn’s players. Ken has called it out. Good on him.

You're an out of touch fart posting on a footy forum, you aren't normal.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Is it really that remarkable, having woken up, logged on to BF and noticed a discussion, to express an opinion on it?

 

[Vindicater]

So

Port were younger and had less experience.

But but but baby Hoks

Yeah, having trouble seeing that.

I think you could say the same about Ginnivan’s post.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Just laughing at the carry-on and gripe he had over a pretty tame social media post, but can't seem to have any words of his own club who were gonna sack him had Sicily kicked that goal.

But Sicily didn’t kick the goal and you’re now out of the finals series

Doubt he would have got sacked TBH, the only Port people that seem to hate him are the fans. The others like the players etc love him.

 

[SC_Power]

Give it until next week and the Port board will be in meltdown again.

Yes it will

But it still feels good to knockout the Hawks

 

[SC_Power]

Correct. I guess the point was just how fickle people can be. A week can be a long time in footy but all they've done is limped over the line after being belted the week before.

Against the $1.62 favourites
