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 !

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
