Coach Has Ken Hinkley Been Found Out?

[Schulzenfest]

Actions have consequences sure

But if you're gonna talk about professionalism how can you point a finger at Ginnivan but excuse Hinkley?

Breust was being chaired off for his 300th. Port had just had an epic finals win. What was Ken doing? Oh look, he's mouthing off.

If you want to talk about professionalism - let's talk about Hinkley and the complete lack of it.

Ken's mouthing off was well before Breust was chaired off. If Sicily hadn't gone on with it nobody would've even noticed. Dude was so focused on bickering with Ken that he nearly dropped Breust.

If Hawthorn wants to draw the line at direspecting an entire football club a few days before meeting them in a final then that is their business. But I wouldn't be overly critical when someone from Port approaches the line Hawthorn drew.

I would expect one of the Port players to approach

The 57 year old coach is embarassing

Good lord, it was an offhand remark on instagram by a 21 year old who obviously has a lot of growing up to do

A 5 word comment on social media by a single player to one of his mates doesn't represent the the entire Hawthorn football club.
Hinkley for someone who is supposed to be more mature acted like a classless flog and should know better.

Oh you're happy with Ken now? Enjoy

His response was winning the game, zero excuse for carrying on like a pork chop to a distraught team of 21 year olds, 40 years your junior, whose season just ended.

Highly unbecoming.

I don't mind it although he looked silly. The main issue was how it was done just before Breust's chair off. It was an inappropriate time.

It was completely classless and embarrassing

That’s how the youngins learn, my man

Creepy comment

Of course it does.

Ken's mouthing off kept going. Sicily called him out Ken could have walked away but his childish ego kept it going.

Ken had a great win but was so obsessed with Ginnivan that he focused on that instead of his team when the siren went.

Strong username to post content ratio. Hope to see Ginni courtside at the Hungry Jacks NBL round 1 next week

Everyone is all "what happens on the field stays on the field" until ken decides to weigh in and involve himself in it.

Then all of a sudden it's "what happens on social media stays on the field when Breust is being chaired off in his 300th"

Ken has been under a lot of pressure and it has culminated in this

It's amazing people cant see the difference between an online comments by a 21 year old vs a 60 year old coach while he;s on the ground.

Culminated in some childish behaviour.

That's the way to celebrate a win for sure

 

[Elixuh]

Why is ginnivan and Kenny’s age relevant? People seem to be latching onto the idea of age like it means something.

 

[Ugottabjokin]

Of course it does.

Probably shouldn't expect some actual brain cells from a Fitzroy supporter.

Either one of Hinkley or Sicily could have stopped mouthing off and then the confrontation stops. I'm confused at why you think the Port Adelaide coach is more responsible than the Hawthorn captain for making sure a Hawthorn champion gets the chairing off he deserved.

 

[theiaofseed]

What Ginnivan said on social media was pathetic and unprofessional. Kenny had every right to use it as he sees fit. I think Hawthorn people are suffering from the delusion that actions don't have consequences.

Yes he does but it just highlights his failures as a coach. If you need an online comment to motivate your team maybe thats why sacking calls are a constant theme.

Spot on, both are adults. They're either both right or they're both wrong.

Simple.

A senior coach should not instigate contact with an opposition player, pretty simple concept.

You're confused? Think that's more of a you issue.

Hinkley had the choice to show respect and be gracious in victory or not. We saw what he chose.

His team were lining up to show respect to Breust - he was mouthing off. After a win no less.

I would have been annoyed if Sicily initiated this - after a win or loss. But the fact a senior coach (yes there's more responsibility with that) decided to take this approach instead of celebrating a win shouldn't be confusing for you in terms of who has embarrassed themselves more

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

A 100 year old marrying an18 year old is fine because they're both adults

Sure it's legal but it's still weird

Players get educated on this stuff every year because their comments represent the club. I’d hate to have to mindlessly defend ginnivan every season. Must get tiring.
