Port Adelaide to clash with Hawthorn in final match of AFL Gather Round in 2025
The AFL’s Gather Round in 2025 will end with a bang after confirmation Port Adelaide will take on Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval in a rematch of last season’s fiery semi-final that ended with Port coach Ken Hinkley $20,000 poorer.
Hinkley was fined $20,000 for conduct unbecoming after singling out Hawk antagonist Jack Ginnivan, who had posted a “see u in 14 days” message on Sydney ruckman Brodie Grundy’s Instagram post before the semi-final against Port.
After his team’s win, Hinkley allegedly yelled “you aren’t flying anywhere, Jack” to Ginnivan, sparking a verbal exchange with Hawthorn captain James 스포츠토토사이트 Sicily and condemnation for the Port coach who later apologised.
But the AFL has opted to renew the rivalry in a Sunday night clash to round out Gather Round, which will for the first time feature a match in the Barossa Valley with North Melbourne to take on the Gold Coast.
Gather Round will run from Thursday, April 10 to Sunday, April 13.
