Willie Rioli jnr shared this post in his Instagram stories that has since been taken down.
Port Adelaide star Willie Rioli has taken aim at Hawthorn in a since-deleted social media post in which he declared his hatred for the club.
Rioli took to Instagram on Monday morning, following Sunday night’s 30-point win over the Hawks, according to a report from Channel Nine, posting a video of his fourth-quarter goal to his Instagram stories with a caption.
He said his negative feelings about Hawthorn went beyond the drama that unfolded after last year’s semi-final, when Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley clashed with Hawks James Sicily and Jack Ginnivan over a taunt.
“Play with fire, your gonna get burnt, my hatred for this club goes way pass last year antics, what they did to my dad, and my brother, is why I can’t stand them, not the players #Cococlub, [sic]” the post read.
According to the report, Rioli’s post has since been deleted.
Port Adelaide and Hawthorn have been contacted for comment.
More to come.
