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

So apparently Hinkley was fined $20G for reminding Ginnivan he won't be flying to Sydney next week from 15 meters away with a grin on his face. Conduct unbecoming apparently on the same level as Clarkson's homophobic slurs against an opposition player and McCartney getting up close and personal with Papley. What a joke.

Agreed. Pathetic compared with McCartney.

So what he should have done was walked up to Butters in the middle of the oval, and then “accidentally” made contact with Ginnivan on the way.

Was anyone else baffled by Port's decision to keep putting the ball back into 50/50 contests in the final 2 minutes?

I found that extraordinary.

120 seconds left, and Port had possession of the ball 3 times. Each time, they seemingly panicked and kicked long down the line, only for Hawthorn to regain possession and be given another Inside 50 and scoring opportunity.

Surely it was just panic, and not by design?

Each time, they did actually get the short option too, but either didn't see it, or chose not to use it.

Such a strange method when all you had to do was burn 120 seconds.

Port Adelaide have had a pretty good record in close games for most of the last 4 years.

What he SHOULD have done is torn the whole immature,obnoxious, adolescent Dork-Ball thing to shreds…at the presser.

Carefully itemising Mini-vans questionable behaviour , the apparent lack of sportsmanship under Sam’s reign and the lack of AFL control in the Social Media space and the need for stronger leadership.

Basic skills for a Lieutenant-Colonel in the ADF….on much less money…in charge of 200 men.

$20K for a bit of banter. Give us a break AFL. Laughable

So you're happy with coaches taunting players at the end of a game? Interesting

Maybe Ginnivan should learn that he's not the main player. It's not all about him and he needs to grow up.

Hopefully he learns not to play with fire.

I suggest Hinkley learns it's not all about him and grow up, I mean he's still young.

Hopefully he learns not to play with fire in the future.

Unfortunately.... the cats out of the bag now against Hawthorn.

Expect plane celebrations from Hawks players and fans against Port from now on, resembling Heathrow.

For comparison, Sam Mitchell got a warning for his needle taunt and a less than $5000 fine for his consistent kneeing.

Mitchell's kneeing players was terrible.

The needle taunt was during a game, and quite harmless, certainly not after a game, or just when a player is getting a 300 games tribute, but I guess that's lost on you for some reason.

I'm all for it, but you better back it up. That's twice now.

We've had a losing record against Port since the 2014 preliminary final, Ken has just tilted it massively back in our favour.

Chris Scott was not fined when he abused Lions players after a game (the other year)

Yep, your “captain” certainly cared enough about the 300 game celebration by mouthing off when the cameras were on him doing just that.

Now why do you think Scott got away with approaching Lions players during a game, where he had to be dragged back by his players?
I’m trying to think of a reason, can’t quite put my finger on it.
Maybe it was because he didn’t put his arms out like an aeroplane.

You’re very big on un-proven blanket statements, aren’t you?

You’re not Dutton’s policy advisor are you?

 

[Whiskers]

It seems everyone around here is like Hinkley, waiting until Hawthorn have been knocked out before mercilessly bagging them and calling Ginnivan out for what he is.
Hawthorn are extremely unlikeable, you can call them out anytime people. Even while they are enjoying smashing all of North, west coast and Richmond in a very arrogant manner.

 

[Sherrinator]

It's being fun this year reading opposition boards. You all waited with bated breath from the start of the year that Hawthorn would finish bottom and get punished for tanking.

When you realised that wasn't going to happen, you couldn't wait to tell us, that we were still far away and needed to rebuild.

When you realised that wasn't going to happen, you waited too see how we would JUST miss finals, laughing at the thought.

When that didn't happen, Hawks were never going to do well in their first final, too young and inexperienced. Going to get smashed by the Dogs.

Finally yesterday you can breath a little easier. Take a deeeeep breath.... Breathe out... Focus on your breath. Stay calm and relax. You'll be fine, it's just football, no need to stress. We'll make sure that Hokball is not too painful. We promise...

Other clubs are living in your head rent free by the sounds of it

6 of the top 10 posters in this thread support neither Hawthorn nor Port.

God damn. You’re the biggest sook on Bigfoot’s, and we have about 12 threads where we all whinge and moan about our coach.

It's a long way to fall off that incredibly high horse you are trying to mount.

Cornes vs Mitchell on SEN now

 

[Holy Rioli]

Yep was told earlier that somehow Hawthorn had the better side despite finishing two and a half games behind Port. Said it last week and I’ll say it again these top 4 sides come there through consistency Port were awful last week, I’d back them to be better over a Hawks side who only beat a witches hats side in Carlton (and that’s being generous to Carlton)

You should do better homework. The difference between our final ladder positions came down to a time keeping error when we played Port earlier this year. Not 2 and a half games.
