For anyone playing at home, he's kicked 15 goals so far for the year. Going at 0.9 per game.

And rising, as he's still played more back flank than midfield this year.

Ginni needs to improve his speed.
He has all the other tools.
Instead of practising goal kicking after training, he should be concentrating on sprints.
Speed is the only thing lacking from his game.
Dropping his knees and falling to the ground so easily perhaps another.
Employ a running coach.
Ben Cousins did this and was the best in the league early on.

8 goals in his last 5 games!

And then they cut to their old man in the crowd going berko when they kick goals. Oh my days.

I love him. He is so genuinely humble and unaware of his own magnificence. I looked him in the eye at a local footy club function after he had spoken and told him there were times when I watched him play with tears in my eyes such was the beauty of his poise and class. He didn't laugh at me or take the piss which most blokes would have. He looked at me and said "Thanks so much, that means a lot to me," Later in the evening he walked past my table and rubbed the top of my head! I grabbed his hand and kissed it and then he cracked up. He is a gem.

Since moving to the midfield in the last 3 games, Nick has averaged 8.7 clearances per game.

Thats more than the 2023 per game averages of Lachie Neale (8.5), Darcy Parish (8.2), Matt Rowell (7.9), the Bont (7.6), and Liberatore (7.6).The five leading clearance players in the competition (after Nick).

It's the confidence he exudes at centre bounces which I love. He was not in the slightest bit phased to be standing next to the towering Bont or hard as nails Libber!

They were the ones phased. Standing next to greatness.

so you want ginnivan to do what cousins did? like a role model?

Yes I do. Cousins wasn't a addict early in his career.
I doubt there has ever been a fitter footballer than he.
100 x 100 metre sprints was often achieved after training.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

He’s absolutely elite. Brotherly love too.

Let's get Ginni running like Cousins and WHE bulking up like Glen Jakovich ...

 

[Eric Shin]

How lucky are some of the players in the comp. Front row seats to see the messiah live in the flesh.

That’s unbelievable. Out of the whole league, Nick ranks at the top. Ahead of everyone else. 4 times. Mind boggling.

And I thought Jesus was supposed to save people from drugs....

He said in his book the harder he hit the gear the harder he would flog himself on the track that week. Just a purely psychotic personality that was never going to end well

Loving that top four on there.

I never saw the connection before. Maybe the club should start selling holy water at games.......

That handball to Crisp in the first quarter from a ball up in the middle was a "rewind a few times and shake your head" moment

 

[danielnajdek]

Anyone else see that article where the writer said they had him 5th best for us and even had 2 Bulldogs over Nick.

Third quarter was where the game was won and Nick was the reason for that third quarter.

Not Hannah again?!

I think it was the article that said Q was better on night than Nick even though Weightman kicked 4

Nah in this article they named another 3 Pies players they had in front of Nick.

Do they have a "handball of the decade" award?

I remember he had a player to the left and I was thinking give it wtf you doing then bang. Handball game on point.
