Hawthorn’s Ginnivan Mocks Ken Hinkley in AFL Rivalry

During Hawthorn's 38-point win over Port Adelaide in wet conditions at UTAS Stadium, forward Jack Ginnivan celebrated a late goal by mimicking coach Ken Hinkley's 'aeroplane' taunt, which had previously earned Hinkley a $20,000 fine from the AFL after the Power's semi-final win last year. The celebration was seen as a cheeky yet lighthearted moment, with Hinkley himself reacting with a smile, demonstrating sportsmanship that commentators and former players praised. Veteran Jack Gunston had a standout performance with three goals and 13 possessions, nearly scoring a fourth, while young player Bailey Macdonald sealed the win with a late goal and energetic celebration. The rivalry between Hawthorn and Port Adelaide has been heated, marked by previous incidents including the taunts and a contentious moment involving Willie Rioli earlier in the season. Overall, the match and Ginnivan's celebration added a memorable chapter to the ongoing competitive tension between the teams.
