AFL: Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley speaks to the media after their semi-final victory against the Hawks.
South Australia n footy legend Graham Cornes has torn Hawthorn to shreds over the club’s post-match antics following Friday night’s fiery final .
Hinkley admitted after the game his emotions got the better of him right after the siren when his cheeky aeroplane gesture towards Ginnivan spiralled into a heated verbal exchange with Sicily. Hawks coach Sam Mitchell was widely praised for the measured support he showed for his players in his post-match press conference — but the former Hawthorn premiership player is now copping a roasting along with several of his former teammates.The 76-year-old said on SEN 1629 in Adelaide the outrage about Hinkley’s behaviour was “pathetic”.
“Firstly, there’s the issue of the ageist comments that the Hawthorn coaches may talk about. “You know, they’re saying it’s a really young player and a much older man. “We had a very young player who was having some very aggressive words said to him by a much older man who has been in the game a long time,” he said.“C’mon, I mean, get on with the hanging offences,” he said.
“You lost the game which you should have won – you hit the post twice. Accept it and get on with it.”
