As his side prepares for its biggest game of the year so far, Power coach Ken Hinkley has been drawn into a debate over the movie Oppenheimer, and whether the events it depicts are an appropriate motivating force.
abc.net.au/news/oppenheimer-backlash-triggers-port-adelaide-coach-ken-hinkley/102832112Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley has fired back at criticism of his side following an admission it was taking inspiration from the movie Oppenheimer going into this year's AFL finals series.
Wines told radio station SEN that the players had been inspired by the blockbuster biopic, and were impressed by its emphasis on teamwork to achieve an outcome. "So many people have to come together and work hard for a number of years and this finals campaign isn't just something that's just been building this year — it's probably been the last four years.
"Dunno mate but it sounds a bit dodgy to be taking inspiration from a biopic about the development of a nuclear weapon that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians," one person wrote.'That's a silly question'
