Yes indeed Hinks the Jinx played in the 1992, 1994 and 1995 AFL grand final thumpings. He was vice-captain in 1995 after which Ayres sacked him and banished him into coaching, the one career he ever wanted to get into because there was no other career that he could ever think of getting into … like a little boy of six or seven who says he wants to be a schoolteacher when he grows up.Imagine for one second if a miracle occurs and we make it past a Preliminary Final.
Imagine all the back patting and mission accomplished vibes that would go through the joint. Then Hinkley would spend the entire week telling the players how scary Grand Finals are. He played in three losing GFs after all so he’s an expert.
Then imagine the entire media narrative and every pub, workplace etc. conversation being “Remember what happened last time?”
