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

[OneGreatClub]

All the talk is about Ken/Ginnivan/Sicily/Mitchell….

One thing that has gone under the radar is the filthy tactics of Hawks players grabbing their heads after a tackle.

Chol then Impey, trying to influence the umpires.

On top of the usual suspects ducking into tackles Hok ball is out of flavour pretty quick.

And getting stuck into Marshall’s head when he was down

 

[OneGreatClub]

Yeah exactly this. All good to have a bit of banter, back and forth.

Strange thing is the only person being aggressive and prolonging the exchange to the extent it impacted Bruests send off was Sicily.

Puffing his chest and arms out in an aggressive pose…w***er.

 

[Around the Wicket]

That Port coach is a disgrace, worst thing in sport is when your a bad winner.. hopefully they get flogged next week.

Yeah I hated that. One time it was Rivaldo-esque from the soccer World Cup. Pathetic display.

Bit like your aggro coach?

If all Hinkley said was " you're not going anywhere" then the Hawks are a bunch of hypocritical sooks and need to harden the F up.

lol that was a deal between the VFL and the MCC, it cost a lot of money to redevelop the MCG and the Federal government didn't pay a dime so the project had to be largely self-funded and to be able to achieve that, big brained people projected how much access to sports like football and cricket they would need access to in order to recoup what it cost to build those stadium improvements.

It was a decision based on financial requirements to get the funding. That deal has been adjusted numerous times with the approval of ALL of the interstate clubs and they agreed to extend the deal long after the initial 50 year period so interstate teams could have greater access to finals, games that otherwise would have had to be played at the MCG. There was a binding contract and the MCC didn't have to adjust the deal but it made it a lot fairer that they did. All interstate clubs were either a party to this deal or knew that this agreement was in place before they joined the AFL.

Time and again, the interstate clubs have agreed to things that aren't in the best interest of the fans in other states but are in the best interest of maintaining the status quo, to the WAFL and SANFL, the AFL is primarily an investment that helps to fund their state competition. Back when Port was in a financial shithole, the AFL offered to purchases the licenses back off for the SA and WA clubs and hand them to the clubs, giving them true independence. Both the SANFL and WAFL or their controlling bodies refused to return the licenses to the members of these clubs so you need to get off your moral high horse. You are just a commodity to those who own your clubs, they don't give a shit about you or your pissant anti Victorian bias.

What a load of BS, but hey you keep believing.

The Hawks can take no worries at all.

Meanwhile the AFL is investigating

Hinkley issued please explain as Sicily reveals only regret from post-game spray

"the AFL is primarily an investment that helps to fund their state competition".....

"the AFL is primarily an investment that helps to fund their state competition".....

Fremantle, West Coast, Adelaide and Port Adelaide are. They had to purchase licenses and they all pay a dividend to their license holders.

shows how soft our comp is, wanting everyone to be robots with no personality

 

[RCAB]

Ken probably said the same thing to Mitchell after the game, didn't get much of a reaction so went and looked for more.

 

[Sully111]

Mitchell's press conference was embarrassing.

Imagine if Butters had walked towards Sicily in the same way Sicily walked towards the Port squad.

But yeah nah, Sicily was 100% in the right escalating it like that.

Who's a robot? Ginni, did he get a sanction?

If you don't see what's wrong with a coach possibly inciting something after the game is over then I don't know what to say.

Are Kingsley or Fagan going to go to Mannagh if they beat them because Shaun last week said he had two more games left?

what i'm saying is no one should get sanctioned for banter, shit talking etc. if you want a gentleman's game go watching lawn balls or golf etc

 

[MadMundy]

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.

Calling Hinkley an alpha male is one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen.

 

[SC_Power]

Ken needed a bit more of this

So according to an ex Hawthorn player, Hinkley needs to act his age.

Maybe Jack Ginnivan being a grown man should also act his age and think about his social media behaviour?

Love the double standards. Get serious and get these idiots off commentary roles.

I don't really think feeding it to a side that just lost by 3 points is good personality, its dickhead behaviour

Yes Hinkley made a mistake. Admitted he did, apologised for it and accepted responsibility. That’s what you call a real man who when he is wrong can admit it.
What’s your issue with that type of man?

He didn't apologise. He said it to Sam and didn't apologise. He said he shouldn't of done it but there was a reason why he did it. That's not an apology, that's an excuse.

Interesting that Ken did this just after a game, were as the classless posters on the forum with time thought it was warranted.

Respect is earned - your ‘entitlement machine’ got called for what it is.

If we want to talk about embarrassing then Hodge's post football career spruiking payday loans to vulnerable kids takes the cake.

So you think nothing of JG mouthing off and putting himself and 21 of your players in the gun before the game? Given how hard Port came out in the first quarter and the fact they used that post as motivation really means that if you took off your blinkers you’d realise JG really fouled up.

Stop making excuses, the idiot gave the opposition ammo and they used it. Plain and simple.

What’s classless is you and your supporters in here thinking that JG shouldn’t take responsibility for his bullshit.
