Hawthorn's rising star Jack Ginnivan couldn't resist a cheeky dig at Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley during their recent AFL showdown, delivering a celebration that left fans in stitches.
The Moment That Stole the Show
After slotting a crucial goal, Ginnivan turned towards the Port Adelaide coaching box and mimicked Hinkley's signature fist-pumping celebration. The audacious move came after Hinkley had criticised Ginnivan's playing style earlier in the season, making the payback particularly sweet for the young Hawk.
A Rivalry Rekindled
The tension between Ginnivan and Hinkley dates back to comments made by the Power coach about the young forward's tendency to draw high tackles. Ginnivan's response on the field spoke volumes as he helped Hawthorn secure a memorable victory against one of the competition's strongest teams.
Fan Reactions Pour In
Social media exploded with reactions to Ginnivan's celebration:
- "That's the best sledge I've seen all season!" - @AFLFanatic
- "Ginnivan just wrote himself into Hawthorn folklore with that move." - HawkTalkPodcast
- "Ken Hinkley won't be forgetting that in a hurry!" - FootyBanter
The incident adds another chapter to the growing rivalry between these two clubs and sets up an intriguing rematch later in the season.
