Can you name an Italian island that is also a mild insult and a Hawthorn captain?

I replied - don’t be Sicily

    Did the fox commentators say that Hinkley was having a crack at Ginnivan first?

    Such a shame.  The Hawks were having such a Goodyear, too.

    Could Hodgey possibly barrack any harder for the hawks on the last quarter? Including gobbing off the port players and coach?

    I have never respected Hinkley. Tonight he again showed his lack of class. I didn't think I could like him less, but has he sunk to a low that will be hard for anyone to match. F*wit!

    I think telling Ginnivan “he won’t be flying “ …

    Add that game the many thousands of VFL/AFL games before where a team makes a match out of it purely by playing with high intensity. Hawks have a history of over achieving and it's because there are no excuses...just go hell for leather when you're on the big stage. Bog ordinary team representing a club with a culture of competing.

    People bemoan why no one wants to watch us play...it has less to do with the game style and more to do with the fact that we just don't compete as hard as these successful clubs. It showed up time and time again (including finals).That's what people want to watch. It's not up to the president. It's not up to the CEO. It's not up to the fitness guy and that part shouldn't come down to the coach. It's the players.

    I hate Sicily as much as the next person, but it’s a terrible look for a coach to be sticking it to opposition players. Just get on with it Kenny. You’re not even a good coach, don’t embarrass yourself any further.

    Ken needs to shut up. He’s achieved nothing for Port and probably never will.

    Nope. I commend him for it. Ginnivan was completely out of line. Had it coming.

    Listening to Sam have a sook in the presser… Chris Scott gonna have some competition.

    Pretty much confirmed that he had a crack first… very embarrassing stuff

    Good on James Sicily. He may not have have much to do with Hokball but good to see him stand up for his younger players.

    True leadership.

    Yeah, nah. One is 21yo texting a former team-mate, the other is a 57yo showing the world what he truly is. The sooner he is sacked, the better.

    So what …good on him for standing up for Ginnivan?  ..is it ok for a Ginnivan to be  a “me me” player and dish it out but he certainly doesn’t take it. Probably shouldn’t have been the oppo coach but so glad someone gave it back to him !

    hinkley has history with behaving like a goose 

    he is, after all, just another former footballer at the end of the day

    Ginnivan is a petulant child. He is in fact a child. He’s 21. If Rozee gave it to him sure, fine. Not great form but whatever. 
    Hinkley is a senior coach. He’s old enough to be his dad. He should know better and do better than to let some kid get under his skin for gods sake. I would be so disappointed if Goody ever did that.

    Yeah it's great stuff from KH. A guy twice the age of the guy he's putting in his place.

    His team just put in a 4 quarter effort when they really needed to but instead of congratulating the boys on a job well done, let's get our head on camera and pick a fight with some Hawthorn youngsters. 

    It's loser coach stuff and if the Swans were even remotely arrogant (which they aren't) they would mimic this celebration when they take care of Port comfortably.

    It’s not Ginnis first rodeo. He has form. Tonight was a good reminder why you need to respect your opposition. 
    in the end it is probably what was the difference.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
