The Port Adelaide coach had heated words with Hawk forward Jack Ginnivan and skipper James Sicily on the field in the aftermath of a thrilling semi-final match.
The AFL will investigate the incident in which Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley had heated words with Hawthorn forward Jack Ginnivan and Hawk skipper James Sicily on the field in the aftermath of a thrilling semi-final won by the Power.
The Hawks were unimpressed with Hinkley’s comments, with coach Sam Mitchell making clear his displeasure at the Port Adelaide coach, whose team led for the bulk of the evening and had the better of the Hawks until a final surge almost saw Mitchell’s team snatch a victory – only to be denied when Sicily hit the post from 45 metres with little more than a minute left.
In investigating the incident, the AFL will have to consider whether Hinkley deserves a sanction, such as a fine, the league having fined Greater Western Sydney $20,000 for Jason McCartney’s more serious offence of making contact – and verbally insulting – Sydney’s small forward Tom Papley, who like Ginnivan, often draws heated attention from the opposition for his theatrical antics.Loading
