Opinion Did Hawthorn just expose a mental fragility?

[beerbandit]

You just self identified as being gullible, lacking in insight, and easily led around by footy opinion writers.

So many bell ends here get fired up by trash from serial melters like Kane Cornes and co., it’s embarrassing to read.

it’s sort of funny. But then cringey and weird at the same time.

Excuse me? Which football opinion writers am I being led by?

I could show you the WhatsApp messages from my group chats after the game but you’ve just shown how thin skinned you are and you probably wouldn’t like the reading.

On the flip side then 1 airplane celebration appears to have broken a few hawthorn brains.

So you think the only thing Hinkley did was make an airplane gesture? A lot of shit talking occurred, and the contents of that shit talk probably led to the bulk of the 20k fine not his childish "weeeeeeeeeeeee" flying gesture.

 

[Elixuh]

You treat facts as hysterics. Amazing

Well its reported he also said something like you wont be getting on a plane this week or to that effect. Who knows he might have even dropped a swear word at one point god forbid. But for a club that has been on the front foot with the celebrations, antagonising etc you'd think you might be able cop a fraction of it coming back the other way.

It would have been nothing but a regular little sledge you see often in footy, justified in this case, if gob off Sicily hadn't have gone off his head and escalated it. Jed Lamb

showed what a glass jaw that bloke has when someone gets under his skin.

not as much as when we had to watch him kicking out of defence for us.

 

[Jimthegreat]

How is Sicily an idiot or Mitchell a hypocrite?

The whole thing escalated out of proportion purely due to Sicily. no other reason. All it was, was just a little payback sledge to Jack, which was justified. Jack tweeted it so he has to expect something back. He would have realised that and accepted it but Sicily had to go off his head, rather than telling Ginnivan to next time pull his head in. Sicily was just pissed off because his side lost and lost due to his kick, albeit 50m out. No need for him to gob off. Hence he is an idiot because he made it so much worse than it should of been.

Everyone should chip in to a GoFundMe or something for Ken's 20k fine IMO, we should celebrate little shits having mud flung back their way.

 

[Jimthegreat]

A 57 year old baiting a 21 year old- what pillock. Kenny showing disturbing signs of an imminent mental breakdown.

What's age got to do with it. Both adults. Nothing more than a simple reminder of Jack's comment during the week. Jack would have accepted it as he knew he had stuffed up, but no, gob off idiot Sicily lost his brain and escalated it unnecessary. If Sicily had shut up barely anyone would have known about anything. Jed Lamb once showed what a glass jaw Sicily has when someone gets out of his skin.

 

[vanders]

It's definitely exposed some fragility of a lot of other supporters and media people. Didn't know so many were so aggravated by how our guys celebrate goals and our wins. Apparently we "had it coming" because of our celebrations.

The entire thing is hilarious.

 

[Ken wardley]

Probably unnecessary for Ginivan to make that comment to Old team mate Grundy , that obviously stirred up Port Adelaide team selectees and coach
So in my opinion,the coach of Port Adelaide , in Ken Hinkley ,felt was unwarranted as well what his gesture was walking off the ground. Hinkley just couldn’t help himself .
Very Bad timing Ken Hinkley
Just at the same moment, one of the greats of the game Luke Breust

300th send off after the game .
We shell see how far you get Port Adelaide , won’t be at your ground with hostile audiences, this time .Was a Pitty the game wasn’t at the biggest and best ground in Australia ,the MCG .
Good luck to the clubs that make the Grandfinal for 2024

 

[Smithdogmaddog]

Hawthorns only mental fragility was in the first half when they were playing well below par and couldn’t handle ports pressure. Every person would be happy with the players are coaches actions and words post match as they very quite mature and measured. Couldn’t care less what anyone outside the club thinks. The culture at Hawthorn has served all pretty well for the majority of times over a long period of time.

 

[demondavey]

Can we stop pretending like “see u in 14 days” comment to a Swans player, not even referencing Ken or Port is somehow equal to a coach deciding to tee-off on an opposition player after the game?

Hawks players celebrating goals or getting around each other after wins seems to have really upset a few.

But there’s a reason the AFL has given Ken a please explain.

Sam Mitchell has a short memory and was borderline in tears. This is the same clown who dropped this….



Can we stop pretending Ken Hinkley did anything OTT other than wave his arms around mimicking an aeroplane and telling JG you won’t be getting on a plane? I wouldn’t really classify what Hinkley did as a ‘tee off’.

Very soft….

Port fan rang up on SEN crying why wasn't Sicily and Ginnivan getting $5000 fines. You guys are still responding and crying about it but ok our brains are broken. Sure.

Cockiness is great. As is the pre game banter. Don't think anyone has an issue with that.

People are getting confused with the coach and ex Hawks in the media carrying on like Ginnivan was shot. Each of whom have a history of being the baiting type. It's just making out that Hawthorn are just as easily baited and thin skinned.

Ok Robbo, if you’re going to bring in a mid-game sledge player-to-player from 10 years ago you’re reaching hard.

Also Mitchell apologised immediately after so that makes it ok

Yes, it was all on Sicily to be the bigger guy, that’s why he got fined… oh wait…

Tell us more campfire stories about Jed Lamb getting under his skin as a tagger.

Well i think anyone who rings up talkback radio is a bit fried, regardless of what transpired Friday night. And i think we (or at least I) am still responding because you keep going on about someone having the audacity to do something your club has been doing all year. Odd.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

…. you keep going on about someone having the audacity to do something your club has been doing all year. Odd.

Please show one, just one example, of anyone from the HFC taunting opposition players after a match, let alone a coach doing it?

You can’t and you won’t.

Our club has been disrupting games after they've finished?

Did Mitchell have a go at Richmond players during Martin's 300? Mitchell spoke highly of Dusty. Ken said nothing about Breust.

You'll get what's coming to you.

You've probably added 1 or 2 many parameters there for me to do that. but if you like i could probably find 1 or 2 examples of Hawthorn players acting in a cocky, brash, antagonistic way if you like? Which i personally don't mind, its the throwing the toys out the cot when it comes back the other way i find amusing.

Just like Ken has made a bullet for his back if we get rolled this week. Thats the price you pay for acting in that manner.
