Man who unashambly stirs the pot goes full pikachu gasping meme when someone responds to it after you beat them.
How is Ken the bad guy here lol. It was two adults exchanging words over a sporting taunt.
Somebody think of the children.

He was talking up a battle against an ex-teammate in Grundy - Way too far ahead of himself but the fact it was Port they had to beat (and failed), I think, is irrelevant - He would have posted the same if they played Geelong, IMO
but anyway it doesn't really matter but I thought Hinkley's response was weird

I've heard its making a prelim
Ginni and Watson have been sore winners by trolling all year. Fitting they cop some to end their season imo.
Plus… we all know Ken, something monumentally disastrous will happen under his watch in the next week and this will just add to the weight of the fall. It’s like hubris is his Achilles heal.

That was NOT an apology.
First, he had the chance in the interview with BT and just smirked as he always does.
Then, when the club told him what a total ****-up that was, he went out on the front foot and STILL couldn't apologise.
Instead, he just mumbled something about being "emotional" and blaming Ginnivan.
And he has just screwed himself.
He is used to soft questions in press conferences and this was the first time since 2021 PF that he got legitimate pushback from his pathetic non-answers.
His one asset is that he's "a gentlemen", according to Rucci.
He just proved himself a graceless bogan and has embarrassed the club and his defenders in the media.
Wonder what Malthouse (v St kilda) has to say about it...

Jesus Christ mate get your hand off it.
If your club want to dish it out they have to be able to take it without being sooks.
Nobody in this thread likes or gives a shit about the reputation of Ken Hinkley. If you've allowed yourself to get so offended by a decrepit old moron, that's on you.

Review the vision. Hinkley had a crack at Ginnivan before the Breust guard of honour. It was your hot headed captain that decided to come over and give it back to Hinkley as that was about to happen.

Congrats Port fans, strong response after last week - too good in the end.
While I'm annoyed at what Ken did after the game, you've gotta put yourself in his shoes, hes got the weight of the world on his shoulders at the moment, he's coping it from the media, opposition fans and his own club fans, would be hard to keep it together.
I also think there is a big difference in talking smack before & after a game, while I'd prefer Ginni didn't say anything, it hypes up the game and brings more eyes to the match (if there are any fight fans here, this is buildup/marketing 101), after the game there's an old saying "be Humble in Victory, Gracious in defeat".

Thats debatable, but the end result is the same.
Hey, I agree on Hinkley ... he is a twat. Taking it personally is stupid ... He should have LOVED it! He was given a gift by the little prick, to use to gee up his players ... he should have thanked him!

Jordan Lewis said weeks ago he wished he played under Hinkley. Now he's having a sook about his idol. Interesting.

I don’t think he’d have posted what he did if they were playing Carlton, Collingwood or Richmond.
That doesn’t necessarily mean he had a direct lack of respect for Port per se (as Hinkley seems to have taken it), just a passive-aggressive symptom of the wider heartland vibe that ‘ThE iNtErStAtE cLuBs’ don’t really matter so I can post this.

I know. But Port was the hurdle in the way.
I thought what Ken did was disgusting. Should be sacked for it!

Well he's going to get one more week. Likely going to get to start as coach next year too. Not great news but Ah well. Turn it into a PREMIERSHIP and I'll accept it.
Let's be for real, there are many people who want Ken to stay as coach at Port and it's not because they think he's a good coach

I'll start by saying I tore up my membership after the 2021 prelim debacle and have wanted Ken gone since.
In saying that, the way I see what happened tonight is that a blue collar team from the suburbs stood up to Victoria and said **** you, go tell your story walking.
I know Ken's Victorian but everything about tonight represented the Port Adelaide of old, from the bruising dogfight to Ken's arrogance in giving it to these little cocky ****ers post game. We should be the team everyone loves to hate and we should thrive off of that. I've wanted that fire from Ken since Phil Walsh died.
At the end of the day the Vicentric media showed their true colours when Ken showed a bit of oomph toward their darlings of this finals series. You try and talk shit all week then think you can come and **** us on our turf? I don't think so.
This is the sort of backbone we need to show consistently to prove to ourselves and to these biased Victorian campaigners that we're here to be the best, not to be the little old pat on the head 'good boy' non-vic team from interstate.
My thoughts anyway, I tend to delve into the symbolism of things.
