Non Lions Discussion 2024

[braddsey]

Great outcome. Port will be smashed next week by Sydney. Hawks stopped in their tracks.

Like Collingwood, Hawthorn will find it harder next season. They’ll still be good, but they won’t be playing the same carefree footy.

I mean, I'm not surprised, Ken's a pretty emotional guy even if he plays it down at times,

Not my thing at all. But hilarious the glass jaw of the Hawks to be able to dish out the sledges but not take it.

 

[Viceregal]

So the geniuses in the commentary box are surprised that it is often the loser of a qualifying final (so top four) that beats the winner of the elimination final (so 5-8) ...seems kind of normal to me!!!!

Commentators talking of the Ginnivan 14 day quip.

Honestly, when one of the club songs literally says "the premiership's a cakewalk"... storm in a teacup.

 

[martinson]

Port's theme song is up there with the worst.

Not even Pavorotti could sing that.

The best thing to come out of the game was Kenny throwing the one liners in Sicily's direction. Loved that. Kenny's great.

 

[Section 5]

Our bogy team is now out of the race so that's a good thing.
Now we just need to get the win away against the Giants

They had that issue for years, even in their glory days. It was just harder to catch them out.

 

[martinson]

I really think the body language and antics of Ginnivan and the other little guy who's really full of himself when they kick a goal does not do much except fire up the opposition to go harder.

 

[pod17]

I didn’t like the Kenny mouthing off. Pretty disappointing for a coach to act that way toward an opposition captain after the siren had gone.

 

[braddsey]

Hawthorn have been on a winning run since round 6 (or something like that). Hopefully our winning run ended early enough to regroup and press on!

 

[martinson]

The golden rule in any combat is never let the opposition know what you're thinking.

You could see Port come out tonight as if their lives depended on it and I can't help but think that Ginnivan had a part to play in that.

 

[Tom14]

I have no issue with Ginnivan being confident in social media and no issue with kern. Wouldn’t do it myself because I’d love to be super sanctimonious about taking the high road in the post match presser but I get it.

 

[martinson]

Disappointing we won't see another sack Kenny thread tonight but just give it a week.

He was going after Ginnivan. Sicily got involved after that.

Absolutely. There’s already been numerous hawks fans go on about leave Ginny alone he’s a kid or whatever, quite simply if you want to talk shit expect it to come back your way at some point

Missed that first part. Obviously dumb by Ginnivan to leave his team and teammates open to that.
Still, Fagan is an emotional guy and I’m not sure he’d conduct himself the same way. Maybe a smirk or a smile but Ken really inserted himself from the vision.

Absolutely. Fagan is emotional on the bench, but in a much more positive way. He wouldn’t go after an opposition player.

That's Ken, love him or not. It's who is is. Not a fan tbh, but either is Ginnivan's antics, so there's a decent streak of shaudenfraude there.

 

[martinson]

Mitch is putting on a total prima donna performance in the post match.

He's only doing the same the Ken was - sticking up for his players. But yeah, a little bit.

 

[braddsey]

Absolutely. Doing himself no favours out of this.
2 mistakes don’t make a right. Ginnivan lost and paid the price. Hinkley should be better, but Mitch gritting his teeth… not being the bigger man.

 

[Dom PC]

Winners are grinners. Sicily should have just shut his mouth and chaired Breust off.

Tbh, if you're going to talk shit. You can't complain when the opposition talk shit back after putting you on your arse.

Hope Kenny gets a warning and that's all. It's an entertainment industry after all.

Ginnivan and the wizard Shrimp are massive tossers who you love to see lose. So satisfying.

Give it a week. You’ll get what you desire!

 

[bungalow_bill]

So much for the Hawks wave of momentum.
