Autopsy AFL 2024 Second Semi Final - Port v Hawks Fri Sept 13th 7:40pm EST/7:10pm CST (AO) Teams in OP

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

If the commentary on here is any indication, it's definitely felt like a shift against Hawthorn in the public perception.

They’ve been awesome to watch the Hawks.

I think it’s more of if you are going to dish it (which they have), then be prepared to cop it (they weren’t)

Strong victim mentality when it’s not them gobbing off.

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Genuinely embarrassing from Hodge and Lewis on their respective platforms. Unbelievably one eyed.

Malthouse, Sheedy, Clarkson all spring to mind in having much worse altercations with opposition players. in much less important games.

Ginnivan had it coming. Cant do what he did and think its play on. Ken coaching for his career, emotions high, always going to happen.

Mitchell didnt handle his emotions well in the presser either.

Yeah, not going to lie, it was pretty satisfying to see them get their comeuppance, but in fairness, it didn't really appear as though Ginnivan or any of that group of ubercelebrators was having a sook about Hinkley's behaviour after the game. Sicily may have gone on with it a little bit more than he needed to, but he did what you'd expect of a captain.

It was Lewis, Mitchell and (apparently) Hodge with their reactions that made this far bigger than it probably needed to be. They seemed floored by the response that not everyone really cares for this group of Hawks' cockiness and - as with Brown and Buckley's response on the panel with Lewis - that essentially you reap what you sow and someone was always going to thoroughly enjoy knocking Hawthorn down a peg or two.

Just wondering when Kenny will let rip into his own supporters, SA media and club, hoping for a hawks win so he'd get sacked? Don't think it was Ginni leaving sack Hinkley signs at the front of Alberton.

 

[Libbaaaa]

At least we know who Port will play during gather round now.

 

[CrowToon]

Anyone who actually thinks Ginnivans quip had ANYTHING to do with the result is an absolute fool.

The media play this up for clicks but anyone who actually believes that crap needs to DM me right now because I've got an awesome totally-not-pyramid-scheme-designed-for-dummies-like-you to share and invest in.

 

[bourbons]

You really think kem just said "haha, 14 days?"

No he said you won't be getting on the plane to Sydney will you, that's a shame mate etc while laughing.

Like I said, pretty mild.

When did we dish it out? One social media post from one player? The club as a whole were pretty respectful all week. Even when they asked if we would get into Butters, Mitchell didn't want a bar of it. His own club were dishing it out to him much more than us.

If you’re going to talk shit, you better have a blinder of a game. Walk the talk. If not, you leave yourself open to criticism.

Wasn’t a great look from Hinkley but if you’re going to laugh off comments / posts, don’t whinge when the turd gets flung back your way.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Bottom line is that AFL is in the industry of "entertainment"

I have no issue with what Ginnivan
posted ... in fact it should be encouraged ... its a discussion point .... give shite ... hang shite ... however much u like ... in whatever forum u like ....just don't hide and get angry when it all goes **** up

Hinkley didn't need to respond ... but he did ... and it was great theatre ... the Port players loved it .... the Media love it (except for sensitive Lewis / Hodge) ... the public love it

Hawks are walking an extremely thin line with their arrogant goal celebrations and their post match wank but their antics have re-energised and given a huge shot in the AFLs arm ..... that said if you are gunna walk the walk don't get all pippy lipped sooky when the end result doesn't work out in your favor

Only 3 people that lost respect and face tonight were Ginnivan, Sicily and Mitchell

All Sicily or Ginnivan had to do was walk over and shake Hinkley's hand and say well done then the dickhead shoe would have been on the other foot

Guaranteed that Hawks will be fixtured to play Port twice next year now

Most of the year.

Planned and practiced celebrations during the week, rolled out when well on top during games. Showboating.

I like it, but let’s not pretend it hasn’t been happening.

After the Hawks smashed the Pies, Ginnivan was tweeting the celebration and going on with it.

The Instagram comment to Grundy wasnt an isolated moment for the Hoks.

 

[Stottzy]

And one will be laughing tonight

The other will be sucking on his doona

One will be sacked by the end of the year, one won't.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

I have no opinion one way or the other about Jack Ginnivan, but I’m struggling to see what was so terrible about his post. Just a bit of cheekiness surely?

In Mitchell's defence, he clearly was devastated by the loss that he would have thought they could have/should have won.

Probably also realises that these sort of momentum runs don't come along too often and it's an opportunity missed

 

[Xtreme]

Mitchell carrying on like a sook.

Has a short memory.

One of the greatest days of all time. The day Sammy fought the system and emerged victorious.

 

[jakson68]

They are lucky to have him

Go to their board and post that.

Then grab some popcorn and prepare for an afternoon of replies.

A world travelled expat not missed a game ever Crows supporter who of course hate Port but never as much as Victorians smurky cold weather experts who fecked up the sport with its constant rules changes and now brings us the most bias dour ugly commentators in the history of the WAFL SANFL VFL QFL and AFL SERIOUSLY Such a bunch of crap Richo and co have the iq of a mouldy rabbits arseh*le Well done Port one of the most intense games I have seen. The lockdowns were unlawful and didn't follow 2009 Standard Pandemic Regulations and million fo people suffered but they can lockdown Vic anytime back to my tropical paradise here in Thailand ขอบคุณนะคราาาาาบ

Are there high taxes on punctuation in Thailand?

 

[Drought Break]

Classic VFL umpiring; the Chol HTB paid as a sling, the out of bounds followed by a Watson duck, the touched ball that the VFL Arc gave a goal and how many other dodgy frees directly resulting in goals. Port did well to somehow avoid one of the biggest stitch up jobs since the dodgy umpiring in the 2016 Dogs v Swans GF.

standard for a hawthorn game.

The umpires can only carry so much

I'm sure it comes across different if you are a player or coach at Port Adelaide.

 

[MisterB]

The best performance in the post siren activities was Impey, making sure Sicily didn't do anything stupid.

Is Sicily the type of bogan to beat up on our senior citizens?

The celebrations and insta post only rile up old school Jono Brown sad sacks who can't understand the amount of life it's actually brought to the club and league itself. And most opposition supporters have been pretty well receiving of it, so hardly found we've been that bad. But ya can't tell me a insta post, not even mentioning Port was more disrespectful than his own supporters behaviour towards him not just this week, but all year! There was a reason he was "coaching for his life" and had nothing to do with Ginni.

 

[demondavey]

Oh please your mob have been disrespecting opposition all year with the celebrations and then tweets. You got a bit back and suddenly can’t handle it.

Exactly. It’s all been this pathetic Hawthorn pandering non stop with the media right up them. Hok Ball etc. It’s come to a head last night and JG has egg on his face. Deal with it.
