Playing Career
Hinkley, recruited from Camperdown, started his league career as a forward at Fitzroy but played his best football with Geelong, with whom he was used as a rebounding defender. A half back flanker in the 1991 and 1992 All-Australian Teams, Hinkley also won a Carji Greeves Medal as Geelong's best and fairest player in the 1992 AFL season. In the same year he finished third at the Brownlow Medal count, behind winner Scott Wynd and Hawthorn's Jason Dunstall. He appeared in 12 finals with Geelong, including the 1992, 1994 and 1995 Grand Final losses.
