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? 

 

Totally baffled by the umpiring shambles tonight.

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

Fork me!

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 “ …

Come on man, can't you just enjoy the schadenfreude like the rest of us?

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

Don’t mind Sam Mitchell, but please lose the top front veneers.

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.

Since when is 21 a child!!!

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
