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

[QuietB]

The funniest thing about this whole thing is last night was a coaching masterclass by Kenny and he has completely overshadowed himself

 

[Dazb86]

Ginnivan just had a run in with an alpha male.

He knows his place in the pecking order now.

Young men need to be chin checked every now and then. Hinkley is simply showing him who is the boss.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

For sure there are big expectations for next year. We cant go backwards. Which is why the club is getting Battle and going for Barrass.

Why can’t you go backwards? Plenty of teams do after a breakout season.

Ken Hinkley is THE alpha male. He is the silverback gorilla. Mess with Kenny at your our peril. Can't underestimate that Chad

Hokball

Interesting that the two times they lost were on the narrowest grounds in the competition.

100% - Hawks need the wide open spaces to make it work.

Hinkley set Port up to take away the corridor and the switch last night, endlessly forcing Hawthorn down the line or into dead ends. That is much harder to do in the wide open spaces of the MCG.

 

[RCAB]

Oh please your mob have been disrespecting opposition all year with the celebrations and then tweets. You got a bit back and suddenly can’t handle it.

We're disrespecting for celebrating wins? Amazing. You're going to HATE Hawthorn even more as this team improves over the years

 

[joe444]

And I will say this, though. If this era of Geelong success has taught me anything - there's nothing more pointless than getting excited or claiming redemption by winning in the second week of the finals. It gives you the chance to achieve something, but isn't an achievement in itself.

 

[krustyman]

good run by the hawks, got a bit of help by the umpires, with their captain choking in the last few minutes with missing the easy goal.

 

[RCAB]

Yeah, not going to lie, it was pretty satisfying to see them get their comeuppance... someone was always going to thoroughly enjoy knocking Hawthorn down a peg or two.

That's what it's all about. You guys are Hok, Hawthorn, Maybloom salty... For decades.

If Mitchell had done what Ken you'd be asking for Hawthorn to be kicked out of the finals.

And Chol, Dear and Gunston were completely ineffective so when we were forced down the line we were losing that contest. Sicily made a big difference down there when he moved forward

 

[RCAB]

standard for a hawthorn game.

Losing the freekick count? Yes, Hawthorn have the worst freekick differential of any team in the league the last 30 years. Umpires hate us. We still win flags

 

[RCAB]

The arrogance of the Hawks previous dynasty has been well and truly instilled in this current group by Mitchell.

Usually these fun and exciting up and coming teams are favourites of the neutral supporters. These guys won’t be. The absolute carry on over the past couple of months and then the complete sooking when it comes back the other way.

Mitchell, Hodge, Lewis & Burgoyne are a disgrace. Completely biased and partial in their views. If you can’t put your emotions aside as a commentator then don’t be one.

You're club hasnt won a legitimate premiership since the 60s. You guys carried on after umpires gifted you FOUR finals in a row. How's your dynasty going under Bevo?

Edit since the 50's

This is exactly why the media and the AFL are totally unprofessional. It’s a huge boys club circle jerk.

Footscray were gifted a flag through umpiring but Hawthorn have been the feel good story the AFL wants to perpetuate all year. Watch the media pile on this week to Hinkley. Hodge, Burgoyne and Lewis sat there with their blinkers on defending their former club. Not once did they say ‘you get back what you give’. Supporting their mate Sam and big mouth JG.

Pathetic.

 

[RCAB]

Like Clarko punching an oppo supporter.
Hawks have had smoke blown up their arse for weeks even though ahving such a soft draw.
Can’t take the heat and Mitchell what a wuss.

Clarko is at North, we sacked him

 

[Smedts_2]

The carry on after the post match stuff last night seems a little out of proportion.

Hinkley shouldn’t have got in the way of Breust’s send off (nor should Sicily in my view) and Sam Mitchell of all people has to consider his credibility about talking about antagonistic behaviour…

Ok, but why is this a story? It was a great game, our media are obsessed by human interest angles.

Just so happens that Hokball and their captain did that all on their own

 

[OneGreatClub]

Bet you were proud of him when he was your coach. Didn’t you like the mantle of unsociable footy. Typical can give but not take.

 

[RCAB]

He looks like a real creep

 

[RedWhite4Ever]

One thing I think we can all agree on is that Damien Barrett was watching this exchange between Sicilly and Hinkley, frantically taking notes with a full erection.

 

[RCAB]

Hawthorn built their whole season on arrogance, they made this cheekiness part of their persona, they cant be upset now it's backfired, this was always coming, people were always going to be cheeky back. Now they cry victim, poor darlings.

Can you stop supporting ACMilan, you're an embarrassment to our club. Thanks

 

[OneGreatClub]

Difference is Ken wouldn’t have a baby cry and would accept the apology. Mitchell is piss weak these days.

We will be finding out in a couple of segments on the MMMs

hawks got a bit ahead of themselves, so they cant complain. they should of kept a lid on it instead of acting like douche bags and being embarrassed by a port team which has a long record of losing finals
