Oppo Camp Other Games Rolling Thread 2024 Edition

They are still hating on Hinkley on the Port thread. I've never seen a coach more hated by his own fanbase.

Some of the Buckley stuff from our fans was vile

 

[Big Bryza]

I'm still dumbfounded Port came out & played liked that.

No team plays on emotion more than Port. Genuine bipolar. They were hopeless last week. The Swans will flog them next week.

 

[Big Bryza]

Fwiw I’ve rather enjoyed watching what the Hawks have done this year. Their football has a pleasing aesthetic to it. Not sure why so many here are gloating about their loss.

Port on the other hand are a bunch of frauds but they deserved the win today. They aren’t nearly consistent enough to play with the fire they did today for two more consecutive weeks though - they’ll be an easy kill on the way in.

Which rock do you reside under?

 

[celestial]

As much I enjoyed seeing hawks lose in the manner they did last night , I can't help but think how much more formidable this side is going to get next year with the inclusions of barras, battle and also maturing a bit more . They were also missing will day who could have been the difference in last night's game . I just hope they become the new port ( dominate during h&a and turn into perennial chokers in finals ).

 

[Vicky Park]

Very relived that Port got up, and it was an amazing game.

Hinkley should not have had a crack at Ginni. Senior coach and all that - really it’s not on.

But he’s an emotional man, wears his heart on his sleeve, and his relief at winning would have been immense. So kind of understandable given the circumstances.

As for Ginni, loved him at the Pies, but he’s taking forever to grow up, and that tweet of last week was just dumb. Did he and his team no favours.

The other thing that’s really annoyed me with all this stuff about Ginni and the Hawks is that they claim they know how to handle him and make him happy - and by implication the Pies and Fly did not.

Yeah, OK, well look where that’s got you. He’s still a pest and a pest who attracts the wrong kind of attention in the week before a cut throat final?

Let’s see how Hawthorn deal with off season Ginnivan.

They ‘know how to handle him’ by giving him his head to do what he wants. That never, ever ends well.

 

[VinnieB]

I like all the banter. I like the fact that Ginni did his thing on social media, and if he wants to open himself up, that’s for him to deal with. If it becomes an issue for the team, that’s different, but he may have the blessing of the players.

I do think the coaches should stay out of it. Kenny shouldn’t have got in a slanging match. Leave it to his players.

Mitchell was even more embarrassing with the ‘he is older, he should know better’ comment and basically acting like a child sooking it up.

And it’s just difficult for Siciliy. He has his challenges. Can’t expect much more from him. His player wanted to play the game, let him learn he needs to cop it as well. He should have said nothing and honoured his 300 game teammate.

 

[joff]

For a non pies game that was enjoyable to watch especially with the umpires seemingly handing hawks goals then Kenny stirs Ginnivan up and they all crack the sads they give it out but can't cop a bit back,gold absolute gold

 

[jimmy35]

And you know that’s all for nought because Sydney wil pump Port next week anyway and those flogs will suffer. They got their minute of support from neutrals last night because they played Flogthorn. Normal transmission resumes next week.

Spot on VP. At least when he was a pest the night before our biggest final it didn’t cost us.

Footy has a great way of humbling you

I did enjoy the faux tough guy act from Sicily approaching Hinkley trying to get his teammates to hold him back. It’s pretty comical.

Port on the other hand are a bunch of frauds but they deserved the win today. They aren’t nearly consistent enough to play with the fire they did today for two more consecutive weeks though - they’ll be an easy kill on the way in.

They did win 8 of their last 9 to the end of the season including a 112 point demolition of the top team.

I think you’re harsh on Port. They may be one of the few teams who trouble the swans.

I think they look a far better team without Dixon in that forward line.

 

[sideswipe]

Wonder if Ginni will feel the slightest bit of guilt over that post? Was pretty harmless but anytime you do anything to fire up your opposition, it is probably better not to do it. And Hinkley in the pre-match put Ginni to the sword by saying they did use it.

My guess is Ginni will tell himself that he should just “keep being me”.

They’ll be flat as tacks next week because that was pure emotion. The only caveat being that their 3 best players still didn’t deliver. JHF was the pick of the bunch, but still off his best.

Didn't look too good when he came off late in the game

Yeah Mitchell should just STFU I think given his track record of repulsive jabs at opposition players

Ginni might be waking up this morning with a hint of remorse.

He and "the Wizard" together with Sicily have made Hawthorn a club that is loved by many.

Roos believes that Mitchell would be privately fuming:

'Absolutely fuming': AFL icon unconvinced by Hawthorn's united front on latest Jack Ginnivan drama

Hawthorn continues to indicate that it has no issue with the conduct of polarising forward Jack Ginnivan, but AFL Hall of Fame legend Paul Roos believes the club would be privately furious with the star's distractions.

Agreed. Georgiades had more space to run into.

He'd do well at Collingwood.

 

[Scodog10]

Cramp, he’ll be fine to play. The question is whether they can get 20+ possessions out of him because I think that’s the minimum output they’ll need against the Swans.

Tweaked fyi

 

[KrispyKremePie]

Lol Rd 1 Hawks v Port at Mcg.

Round 0! Lol

 

[jathanas]

Tweaked fyi

I was hating on those mo-fos as if they were Carlton.

 

[Scodog10]

Lol Rd 1 Hawks v Port at Mcg.

Unlikely. I’m going to guess Rd 0 Sydney v Collingwood at the SCG followed by RD 1 Hawthorn v Collingwood at the G… I think you can lock 90,000 in for that clash if it’s early year.
